hi mr,

wondering whos done the clutch delay valve delete on their manual bmws??

what can i expect? i have it oem on mine and i find sometimes the trannys a bit jerky..

thanks for yo inputs! *tu*

btw i have a 325xi e46
 
i did on both my bmw.

not much difference imo, yes the 1st shift you'll feel a difference, not enough to stall, and after 2 street corners you'll be use to it and forgot the feeling with the delay.

Also, since the release is quicker, the clutch ''should'' last longer.


If you like having a better connection with shifting it's a must, since it cost 0$ and take less than 1 hour to do. But don'T expect night n' day difference.

- replug the line until its fully seated, I pop mine and got oil in my driveway.
- some say you need a vacuum bleeder, I did the old way and it worked. But to make sure, Ive asked a shop to vacuum bleed it , and I saw 0 difference.
