1M newby question
Just got my 1M last week and been driving it around a bit. I noticed when I have the AC on and shifting between 2k-4k rpm (normal driving) there is a slight jolt or bucking that occurs. If I let the clutch out real slowly I can eliminate it but when I just shift fast or normal it does this. At higher RPMs everything is fine and the same things happen regardless if in M mode or not.
Am I just getting lazy shifts or am I low on trans fluid or what? I've driven all sorts of manuals with no symptoms like this including e89 Z4, M4, e36 M3 thanks. |

RPM's drop faster when the AC is on, so revmatching shifts will definitely feel different than without AC. You'll feel it more that other cars because there isn't as much sound deadening or soft bushings to absorb the mechanical jolt.

I think there is a dead mouse in there. The best way to dislodge him would be to have few hard shifts, since his remains are likely somewhat attached to the gearing.
Don't drop the transmission, but give it a jolt, and I think you will find that he will fall off the gears and exit the car underneath you. Don't try this at home :-) |

I think what you are feeling is the CDV. I think you should do the "CDV delete" mod. It will make the clutch feel so much better.
See my post #97... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...82#post6872882 Also read this thread of what other 1M owners think of this mod. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=558362 Dack

Does the phenomenon go away if the AC is off? If so, there's your answer. If the phenomenon remains with the AC off, then go chasing other causes, like CDV. |

Back in January I bought an e39 540i 6 speed manual... for a few weeks I was wondering why the clutch action was so jerky in 1st/2nd gears. I then remembered the CDV delete mod. But I thought surely a 15 year old car(w/150K miles)... that someone would have deleted the cdv by then. Nope. On my next oil change I deleted it... I've been so happy.

Thanks, I am just having trouble understanding the value that places like Zeckhausen add since it seems like all you need to do is puck the restrictor plate out.
