thanks

No, E46 M3 6MT only and only certain years.

Smoother more traditional clutch operation. No harm to the transmission unless you like to "dump the clutch" too often. It which case you tranny is doomed anyway.

 

just changed mine out with a modified zeckhausen cdv. the clutch is a bit more "grabbier". i'll see how it shifts when i go home from work.

 

Thanks for the DIY info MPM3 :thumbup:

 

thanks, this helped

 

I just took mine out this weekend. It seems to be more sensitive and engage quicker than it used to. I have still not totally gotten used to it, but it shouldn't take me long.

 

I found that when i did mine the biggest thing was that i could shift like i used to on other cars. It drove me nuts i felt like i was driving for the first time with that damn thing in there. Really some of us know how to shift and don't need a check valve to help us.

 

ya, but someone said that a 2001 330ci doesnt have it. ill be looking into it more or checking for myself this weekend. thx

 

Hey Zach, I know this thread is old but does the 2001 330ci have a CDV?

 

Check under the car or under the master cylinder. I was told mine didn't have one till I took it apart to find it. I'm 99% sure your car has one.

 

Thanks guys. Im actually about to take it off on the 323i. My cluch has a about 10000 miles o. It so its not a lot. But its just been acting weird since I put it in there.
