Clutch Problem

richardbb85 · 07-26-2010, 04:53 PM

is it common for the clutch to go bad on the m3?

i have 2000 miles on the car, and these few days i noticed the clutch felt differently when driven hard/WOT.

It should not go out at 2000 miles, that is not normal.

Differently? That's a little vague.

You've probably glazed your flywheel from too many jackrabbit starts.

New clutch for you

the only incident I heard a clutch going out like that was on a 1999 MUstang GT. It wasn't a manufacturer defect; rather, the driver. He broke his pressure plate, and ruined his clutch 3 times by popping the clutch too many times in a 9 month period.
