Derbo's ZHP

Ahhh ok. My clutch still grabs near where I set my clutch stop years ago. Maybe just a tad higher. But no slipping. I can still launch at 3K and it just takes off like a stinky pig. I want to get to at least 200K before it shows signs...I'm at 150K now on the original clutch. :D

The clutch catch point is near the top on the M3 I was checking out. It clearly had a disc with very thin material left. Being that there are plenty of hills around here in San Francisco, it is assumed the old asian lady didnt drive the clutch properly. Better than some people who kill a clutch in 2800 miles and come back yelling why the transmission revs but doesnt move.

When I was in San Fran...I tried my car on a hill that said "DO NOT STOP". It wasn't very nice on my clutch and I am very good with it. I had to start at 3K and floor it as I let the clutch out just to move forward....ouch!!

The handbrake technique is where this comes into play but even then, clutches wear out fairly quickly here in the city. It's heartbreaking hearing some people riding the clutch going uphill haha. I've learned to kind of pump the clutch if I know I have to slip the clutch. Speaking of, my clutch is getting thin too. :\

How does pumping help on steep San Fran hills? I'm thinking that just helps ride and unride the clutch for a longer time until you're fast enough to release the clutch?

Yeah I am used to hooking up my clutch at 600RPM on the flat. It was heartbreaking to try this on a super nutso hill...but I needed to know what it was like. Poor tranny.

Thats what I meant, disengaging and engaging the clutch enough times till the car starts rolling. Rarely do I have to do this cause I try to have a RUNNING stop AKA a california stop sign stop. Only a few hills in the city need that kind of torture. It's late. I'm heading to bed LOL.

ordered my oil seperator system and oil filter housing gasket and the parts guy forgot the oil filter housing gasket! doh

If I come to San Fran can we do mine too? haha
