CLUTCH

[zayzay]

i only have 6 thousands miles on my car and my clutch is gone. took it to BMW and they refuse to cover it under warranty because they said the reason the clutch burnt is because of abuse by me. now its going to cost me $3500 to replace my clutch. by the way, my car is also fully modded

If you are paying out of pocket, get a good aftermarket clutch that can handle your power mods and hire a reputable independent shop to install it. You may spend half that and get a better result!

I'm running a Spec Stg 2+ and couldn't be happier with it.

Can't recall exactly what it cost, but -- including a new single mass steel flywheel - I believe it was approx. $1,200.

Install by a good independent should run between $700 - $1,200 (tops).
