DCT

hey guys, on the tranny thats in the e92s ,whats the story with this tranny??

as far as maintanence, do you need to flush the fluids at a specific mileage?

since it does have clutches, do these clutches wear and need replacing at one point or another like a regular stick shift trans?

are these trannys pretty much bullet proof??

well..heres the thing... i drove my car up to big bear lake yesterday (here in so cal) and i dont know if it was me just trippin or what but on the way up i intermittenly smelt a burning clutch smell... and also on the way down... i dont know if it was just the cars ahead of me or what, but the car still pulls hard, no slips...oh btw, the car has 72k miles...(yes its my daily driver, lol)

I just got back from big bear yesterday without any problems..however, i do have way less miles on mine. But because dct does have clutches, they will wear down over a period of time (obviously depends on how hard you drive it). You should know what a slipping/worn clutch should feel/sound like when you floor the gas at a higher gear. Just go get it checked out if it worries you..

Another thing, there are alot of other cars that had burning breaks and clutches. You can smell it on your way up and a down...So it can be the other cars that was smelling.
