IF you ever determine what the root cause is for the slipping DCT clutches please report back. DCT pump pressure, pump filter, clutch plate wear, fluid level and fluid type all come to mind from E9X DCT information gleaned over the past decade and reported on this forum. Though perhaps the C8 DCT is a different animal? deansbimmer made a thread about DCT pump and filter issues he sees with E9X DCTs - albeit with much high milage cars. Good luck with finding a remedy and/or GM buying the car back.

It is totally under warranty. I wouldn’t have bought this car without a trackable warranty haha. This particular dealership, although recommended locally by corvette people, just sucks. Maybe I’ll have better luck with another next time. The problem here is that no error codes are thrown, nor were they thrown before the previous transmission failed. So most dealerships won’t do anything until it inevitably trashes the transmission again. Then it’s just replaced and start again. I’m trying to break the cycle early.

Hey guys! Picking up an authentic Brembo GT BBK tomorrow hopefully.. getting it for a great price so I plan to upgrade the rings to Girodisc and also get new pads.
I’m not finding much info on brake pad options for the Brembo GT kit. They’re the 380x34 front and 380x28 rear rotors. Any pad recommendations for both daily driving and some HPDE?

Tons of pads options for Brembo GT6 and GT4. Nearly every major pad manufacturer makes pads for these calipers.
I personally use, and highly recommend, Project Mu HC+/H 800 (they're the same pad) as an all round pad. |

ok I'm getting conflicting info from brake vendors... Are there, or are there NOT raybestos track pads that fit a stock e90 m3?
I'm being told it's a custom cut pad, some say it's a Porterfield part number not Raybestos? front: Raybestos ST47 Series Competition Brake pads: RAY RC 918 ST47 maybe the same thing as RAY R 1260.19 ST47 rear: RAY RC 919 ST43 |

Time to replace motor mounts. I absolutely cannot add any more NVH into the car. The KMP wheel and stiffer suspension / bushings are already vibrating my hand to sleep on the drive to the track.
Bimmerworld has Meyle and Corteco. Any preference here? I’ve also seen some people run E36 shields to help promote a bit more longevity.

I've been snapping them too, but I was using vaselin on every bolt, and searched about it and figured out I should stop doing that. I don't know yet if it will stop snapping though. |

I remember reading someone had a problem with them. That’s a bummer.

Yeah that was me. And I think there were another 2-3 guys in my thread who had the same issue. The worse thing wasn't even the mounts failing. VT customer service was horrendous. I will never use their products ever again.

My revshift mounts did not last very long either. Seems they all need some heat shielding…
