Clutch Issues

DIB17 · 22-06-2010, 06:28 PM

Hi Guys. When driving hard and under highload, say changing gear anywhere above 5K rpm, with no lift of the throttle and fastest gear shift; as the clutch starts to engage, there is an increase in engine revs then as the clutch fully engages the revs settle and the car continues to accelerate. Is this clutch slur or a worn clutch? If I do the usual clutch test of accelerating from 30mph in 6th gear it does not slip. The car has done 58K miles and is on the original clutch. Driving hard does re-teach the clutch and the problem reduces but only lasts a day or so. Any advice would be appreciated as I would like to get you guys views before I discuss it with BMW.
Thanks, Dave
