[sshhh12]

@Murray2413 breyton replica wheels

[bebo0513]

sounds like clutch is fried

[sshhh12]

@bebo0513 changed it to a twin plate already

[Dzone20]

this exhaust system in this m5 sound much greater in person!

[sshhh12]

for sure!

[Cheesemonger69]

that exhaust is so fucking raw omg. FUCK YES

[boberson45]

Goddamn what a fucking bad boy bro

[TRDSC]

Amazing.

WOT (Wide Open Throttle)- Yes you are correct. When you depress the clutch, the pressure plate is supposed to pull the connecting surface away from the fly wheel. It is just the opposite when you release the clutch. If the pressure plate is collapsed, it has the same effect of someone "riding the clutch". Basically, the springs("fingers") that surround the release bearing are shot and aren't able to maintain enough pressure against the clutch disc. Hope that makes sense.

@ThickDixie WOT - what is that ? so the pressure plate's delay is causing the engine to remain under load during shifts?

[ThickDixie]

@bebo0513 Sounds like a collaped pressure plate, and not necessarily the clutch disc. The reason it is making that "dragging" sound is because the pressure plate is not fully disengaging under WOT.

@2ravens2wolves honestly, i am no mechanic lol, im still in the learning process of these vehicles. But my best explanation about the RPM dropping is because the gear isnt fully engaged, yet. Imagine if you were driving, you shift gears, release the clutch and mash down the gas but RPMs just drop instead of continuing momentum, eventually the RPMS will jump back to normal, but that small delay is the best indicator of a burnt clutch. Im sure i sound repetitive, but i hope this helps.

[2ravens2wolves]

@bebo0513 ah ok, I can hear it now - what I don't understand is why the RPM would drop initially - I would have expected that if the clutch were slipping, it would allow the engine to over rev a bit before fully engaging the gear and taking up the load of accelerating the car, which would then make the RPM drop back to a normal level for that gear? or would that reflect a different type of problem with the clutch?

[bebo0513]

@2ravens2wolves You can tell by the sound of the RPMs in between shifts. When the driver switches gears you hear the RPMs drop then come back up before accelerating through that gear. Normally a car should 'sound' (from outside), RPM increasing, shift and release clutch, RPM increasing again, etc...With a fried clutch: RPM increases, shift gear (release clutch to continue momentum), RPMs will drop first before increasing because the clutch is slipping therefore it does not engage properly.
