Clutch Delay ?

Rob waldron · 10-28-2018, 04:34 AM

Hi all I am relatively new to ownership of the X3
2011 SE I have noticed what seems like a clutch delay.
When slowing down to stop, my final engagement of the clutch there seems to be delay . I get a slight clunk sound coming from the somewhere around the gearbox/ transmission. Is this normal I have heard that there is a delay on the initial engagement.
Many thanks
Rob

I never knew you could get an X3 in stick! Might have something to do with transfer case if your model is AWD. Have you had any other people drive the car to verify its not just driving habits?

North America never got a 6spd F25 option, but the rest of the world did.

So describe a little what happens? You come down to a stop with clutch engaged and you hear a clunk when you stop?

Does it happen both in neutral and in gear?

Search Zeckhausen CDV delete for a good DIY. just make sure there are no shavings/cuttings left behind. Did this on older e46, but same principle.
