M-DCT transmission replacements, lurching, lag .... thankfully, I listened to Jeremy Clarkson and avoided having to read threads like this: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151336

I test drove a Citroen C2 VTR a few weeks ago; it has an automated clutch gearbox. It was undrivable in auto mode, lurching awfully on up changes. The only way to use the thing was in manual mode and you had to conscientiously lift your foot from the throttle to get a smooth up change, making no more convenient than a regular manual. Made me spend $5000 more to get the VTS version, which has a close ratio manual box.

At least with a proper manual, you have an excuse when you hand "accidentally" fondles the knee of your passenger.

10 hours to go!

I hope we're not that stupid that we underestimate 'your' team. Let them score? Is your goalie such a good forward?

I just responded to your comment on my page with the same thought. Yes, our reserve keeper playing striker and scoring; that'd be the real "miracle" we need this time around...

Heh - I accidently posted this to the M-DCT thread earlier (I just moved it over here).

-----

Wow. I finally got some quality time with my 6MT last night. I had been following the M-DCT with some interest, and wondered if I might have enjoyed that had I done more homework (and was more patient with my order).

No doubts now. I love the 6MT. I came from a MT 997S and my first take on the M3 6MT was not that impressive. But now that I have some miles with the car, I am in love with the MT on this car. The clutch that I thought was too soft before, now feels smooth as butter. The throw of the shifter is great.

I am hooked.

Go 6MT!

Good thing you moved it over here. I was wondering why you threw yourself at the lions.

It all gets better with miles. I'm at 3400, and it keeps on improving...

South,

Footie claims he just added the M-DCT avatar to his profile. Traitor! He needs to be expelled asap!

Incredible! Honestly, Footie asked to be our mascot since his choice wasn't voluntary!?

Ah, I remember that now. But that was assuming he would keep our logo. He could have displayed both logos you know. Then, he would have been a true diplomat working toward mutual understanding.

This sounds more like a defection to me!
