Default For all of those with a harder than typical clutch - please read.

Just got back from the dealer. Went in for a mushy unresponsive clutch and overally hardness. Also went into to check a minor 2nd gear murmur when coasting. What the dealer told me was shocking.

I need -

New transmission (this makes it the 2nd replacement #3)
New pressure plate
New clutch disc
New flywheel
New fork

Evidently they compared my whole drivetrain to putting new brakepads on an unresurfaced rotor. Evidently when I got my first transmission replacement, they used the old parts and mated it with the redesigned tranny, hence the hard feeling (maybe the parts weren't meant to be mated)

Thank GOD this is all under warranty, or else i would seriously not know what to do! Either way, the parts will be coming in a week or so, but till then the car is drivable, so I can't complain... what was just in my mind as being minor adjustments is actually a lot more.

I would sell the car in a heartbeat if I didn't invest so much money into it. If someone with a redline wants to inherit the body kit i put on my car, along with a buyer for my Volks TE37's, i'd slap the stock body parts and wheels on and take it to a BMW dealer for trade-in so fast they wouldn't know what hit em.
