Clutch Grabbing Lower, Notchy Shifts
Hey guys,
3k miles on my 2018 M2 6 speed. Wagner catless downpipe, Hex Stage 2 tune. No other mods. Past few days the clutch seems to be softer and engaging lower to the floor. The shifts seem to a bit notchy. Nothing too crazy just something I've noticed change since I've owned the car. Thoughts on what it could be, or if I should bring it in for service? Thanks! |

All day today the clutch engagement went back to normal, higher up on the travel and shifting was smooth. That was until later tonight it went back down and notchy shifts and soft pedal feel with low engagement.
Anyone have any thoughts? |

Mine does this too.. I'm chalking it up to heat and perhaps just break in. I also figure I'm getting used to it. Curious if you bleed and swap out to a higher quality clutch fluid...

So it's tied to your brake fluid unfortunately. I would flush the two together. Heat and break in. BMW has self adjusting clutches, just give it some break in time and it'll go back to normal. I noticed this on my car. Was kinda weird around 1500-3000 miles, then it slowly got better.

Issue is back. This time clutch is grabbing higher and softer, less abrupt. Car is at 11,200 mi. Been going on for the past two days.
