Please make a video on clutch starter switch. I think my car is having a trouble related to clutch starter switch. It is not cranking or starting. Changed battery and alternator not fixing it.

I have removed that and driven a 140k driveline km car at drift events with multiple full on clutch drops to the point both engine mount where broken. Clutch and dual mass flywheel was fine… You cant drive the car smoothly with that shit valve, maybe you have a clutch smell fetish, but It drove me mad the the way it slipped every time I accelerated hard through the gears. Trust me, I have had a couple of e36 and e46, that does not belong in a drivers car.

So will deleting this valve make my e46 shift like my crotch rocket?

raomar says:

The reason you had that pressure as you let off is the helper spring on the clutch pedal for return. Remove the spring and Cdv and bam it feels super easy and you won’t burn your clutch when dropping it.

Chris Corpus says:

I'm so glad I found this video. I got my e46 to drift and it was pissing me off that it wouldnt clutch kick.

How the heck do you drain the clutch so easily? Mine will barely release anything, even if the clutch pedal is pumped and held pressed by someone. I watched another video where someone mentions that “hydraulic” clutches must have new fluid pumped inwards from the bottom to push air bubbles out by the reservoir, or have a vacuum bleeder pull it out. Why is that with mine but not yours?

Whats The Line Called Thats All Flared And Stuff ??

Will Lopez says:

Hi hope all is well. I like your channel and think you do a great job on the e46. I would like to know how much you would charge, to get a Manual swap on my car. Is the car on my profile picture.

I wanted to let my BMW specialist remove the cdv in my 2003 325i Touring m sport, but he tells me the valve is part of the fluid line, so impossible te remove. Are you guys familiar with this setting?

Jorge Miranda says:

Will it works on a non M smg ?

Bernard says:

Just had mine CDV mod install. It is a night and day difference no jerky shifts from 1st – 2nd. This is a must mod. At first I wasn’t sure but I just got it done today and bled the clutch. This is a must mod for this car. Please take my advice and get it done as soon as possible. I love my car now!!!!!

You also don't want brake fluid on painted areas because it is thought to damage paint and maybe cause corrosion 😉
