Basically i lol’d the clutch on my BMW by doing 2 things

1. let my mother drive it, she rode the clutch on an incline in traffic.

2. sent it home last night drag racing, it slips like a mother fucker.

is Changing the clutch out in this car any more difficult than any other? I’ve done 3 RWD cars so far without a problem.

I’m assuming the transfer case will be the only extra obstacle.

I have access to a lift and a 3 day weekend… But I honestly don’t feel like doing it myself.

Maybe this is a sign to buy a race clutch and remove that hydraulic valve this car has

It was the original clutch on a 185k mile car. There are maintenance records inside the glove box. Last time it was checked was 97k
