As a few of you know I've just had the clutch and flywheel etc replaced courtesy of BMW Warranty due to it slipping/slurring on upshifts.

I did ask Murkett's but they didn't seem to think there was anything I needed to do although Brett did mention to me that you should take it steady for about 800 gear changes!

Can anyone confirm 100% what to do if anything in this situation please?

Thanks :thumbs:

Fair enough then Shim, I'm not exactly nailing the fook out of it straight away naturally, have done a couple of quick changes, I drive it in S5 all the time anyway, will give it a few more trips and get some S6 changes in soon then! :smokin: :thumbs:
