Wanted to add: Basically its the same sound/sensation as when releasing the clutch with no gas and the engine/car starts shaking. But in my case, im giving it gas and the sound/sensation is somewhat amplified. The slower i release the clutch, the more it thuds as its fully engaging. If i give it a little more gas and release quicker, it'll thud just once as it fully engages, but sacrifice a smooth takeoff. Last edited by JoyRin; 10-29-2016 at 11:37 AM.. |

Maybe clutches just wear differently which causes slight variation in the way they grab? |

My car is a manual trans, 16,000 miles. When I start from a stand still in 1st gear, my car is starting to stutter/shake. always giving it 1000-1500 revs when releasing the clutch. So i am not lugging it. Sounds pretty familiar to the OP.
Just curious if anyone has any updates with their car. Any clutch failures or related? |

Here's another update. As noted previously, I much prefer the power delivery of DSC Off, but the initial throttle delay/deadness and the fairly common clutch judder issue in 1st is annoying. I also find that the Sport throttle is just a bit too quick. About a week ago I bought a Sprint Booster V3 is hopes of being able to control throttle sensitivity in the Comfort throttle and perhaps improving the clutch judder. So far, the results have been promising for the most part. I will update this thread and create a separate 6MT Sprint Booster thread once a get a little more drive time in. So far, I've driven with it in 40 degree day up through 80 degree temps. I want to see how it drives with some real heat soaking which will be today (mid 80s, muggy). My reviews are always honest, detailed, and I'll give you all the positives and negatives. So far, take-off and the 1-2 shift smoothness are improved.

I get this too and find switching modes will stop it as well as slightly higher rpm at engagement (even 250rpm) will eliminate it for me. This was also brought up on the m4 forums as well and I think the consensus is that it happens due to the highly frictional material on the clutch disc which would also explain why it happens more to me after I've been driving it hard for a while. So far, the two methods have solved it for so I'm ok with it.

The fix, don't use COMFORT mode, plenty of throttle and quick use of the clutch.

I'll be adding a catted downpipe next spring and per the reviews, a DP helps throttle response. Maybe then I'll go back to the Comfort throttle and see how it behaves. |

Yes, using Sport mode and more throttle did indeed minimize the rough clutch take-up! Contrary to other scenarios in this post, in colder weather the problem no longer reappears regardless of which mode you're in.

Driving in Sport+ really does help, I just wish the throttle wasn't as aggressive. Something between the Comfort and Sport throttles would be ideal for the 6MT, IMO. |

And recently I hear a sound when idling in neutral and clutch engaged (goes away when I press clutch pedal). I think it's one of the bearings (input shaft). I'm going to try to have it covered under warranty, but I somehow doubt that the dealer will do anything. |

this thread. . . I'm glad it popped up!
I can engage 1st in all my other cars perfectly except the f22 when warm. I thought the clutch was contaminated or glazed. this thread make me feel better, lol.

I kind of have a noise also when just idling and I'm off the clutch. goes away when I push the pedal. I thought it was just the old getrag rattle any e30 owner is familiar with (I have no idea if this is a getrag, haha)

I have over 50k on the car/clutch now and it's done it off and on since new. It usually happens driving in stop and go and the clutch getting hot and chattering. Other times I feel my timing is just off slightly and I'm to blame. Overall it doesn't seem to hurt anything as my car is Stage 2 and I get no slippage from power.
