Weird clutch pedal feel on 6mt e92 335i

Steve335 · 04-26-2007, 04:59 PM

i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this topic...anyway i just picked up my e92 335i couple days ago and sometimes when i fully depress the clutch in Neutral (even in 1st or 2nd when the car is slowing rolling) it feels like there are some pressure on the clutch pedal...it's pretty hard to describe the feel of it...almost feels like there are fluids pumping thru the pedal and i can definitely feel it...is this normal? has anyone experienced this before? TIA

When moving? Are you sure you aren't feeling engine or street vibrations?

yeah i'm sure i'm not feeling engine or street vibrations...i feel it most of the time right when i'm about to engage into first gear and i depress the clutch all the way down...i hope this is not something major as i only had the car for 2 days...

CDV or w/e it is called might be the culprit

Do a search for the CDV. BMWs use a Clutch Delay Valve. Most of us remove it, or replace it with a modified (or open) CDV.

i understand that there's a CDV on the car...i had a E39 540i before this car and it had CDV on the car as well but it did not feel like the e92...i'm just curious about if anyone had the same situation where they have a funny feel on the clutch pedal when it's depressed fully

esquire · 04-26-2007, 08:54 PM

steve. i'll check my car out for you later today and be very careful to pay attention to the feel of the clutch when fully depressed. but i have to say that nothing has ever struck me as odd about the clutch feel in the several months i've owned the car.

i'll get back to you later with a more thorough response.

texasturner · 04-26-2007, 09:13 PM

Mine was doing that as well but now with 320 miles on the car it doesnt happen any more. Might be the clutch breaking in...

GhostyM · 04-26-2007, 11:23 PM

It could be the Floor Mat.. yea I know.. same thing happened to me.. I was in a test drive.. the floor mat hits the clutch pedal alot and that was causing problems...

esquire · 04-27-2007, 12:54 AM

steve, after driving my car for a while i didn't notice anything along those lines, even with the clutch fully depressed. wait for your break in to end. if the problem continues then take it in.

NPDAN · 04-27-2007, 12:58 AM

I havent had mine for more than 2 days now, but the clutch feels great to me... I'll pay more attention tomorrow and see if I can notice. I hope I dont though... i'll become fixated on it.

were you feeling that quite often before 320 miles? i would say i feel the clutch pedal vibrate just about every other time i depress the pedal all the way...

texasturner · 04-27-2007, 09:06 PM

Yes it did. Even on the first drive home from the dealer is when I noticed it. Also when I would drive up to park it in the garage. But now I can not remember the last time so I think it is a break in type of thing. In fact all of the shifting in general is feeling smoother.
