Got mine installed today, made some notes on the install over in the slipping clutch thread: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/clutch-slipping-on-stock-a91-mt.16639/post-277979

Proof? No. But I can definitely tell you that getting rid of the CDV has pretty much eliminated instances where I find the clutch slipping when I'm not expecting it because the CDV basically moved the bite point. Maybe it's a contributing factor, maybe it's not. I do feel better about my...

I installed one of these today and it's a night and day difference, particularly on heel-toe downshifts where you have to be quick with the clutch to catch the engine revs at the right spot. Before I felt like I had forgotten how to heel-toe. Now it's very natural. I think someone somewhere...

We'll just take a look at all the owner's manuals again: You mean to tell me that Chevrolet, BMW, Toyota, Ford, and Honda are ALL wrong? You should contact them and let them know to put out corrections to their owner's manuals ASAP, this is such a disaster. ?

Definitely go ahead and submit your own complaint.

Either I misunderstood, or NHTSA provided incorrect info about the ability to me-too an issue, or their timelines are seriously out of whack. I would encourage anyone who can replicate this issue to report it to NHTSA here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem As I previously...

I attempted to engage with Toyota BEC about this issue. The person they assigned to my case didn't seem to understand the issue, repeatedly tried to pawn me off on a dealer, referred me to pages in the owner's manual, and stated the car is working as designed. I got the impression that she is...

Valid point, @lmfao failed on step one:

Perhaps BMW/Toyota are under the understanding that this feature is not allowed by regulation in AU. If you set the parking brake, then try to drive away in first gear and it doesn't release, then the feature is not active. Cars delivered in different markets may be identical in all respects...

I've driven the 6G Camaro and C7 Corvette, and I also did not notice this type of behavior.

This is my first manual car with an electronic parking brake. I'm not sure how prevalent this is with the MT+electronic parking brake combo, but this car (and you might assume modern BMW MT cars also) has a "feature" where if you attempt to drive away with the parking brake engaged, it releases...

Be careful admitting that around here, or @lmfao will be along shortly to tell you about how you're parking wrong. Give it a shot with the last bulleted list I posted and see if you can't replicate it 100% of the time.

I believe that it can be replicated 100% of the time if you do the following, in order: Engine running, transmission in neutral. Set parking brake. Hold clutch pedal in. Touch brake pedal and release. Touch throttle pedal and release. Wait ten seconds or so. Release clutch pedal. Why in this...

??? get rekt

This is not a serious post. Every manual vehicle I've owned up until now (all nine of them) have not rolled away on me. They all had/have fully mechanical parking brakes. My Tacoma could give less of a shit what gear I'm in and how I hold the clutch, if you set that parking brake it's not...

The solution is Toyota fixes this. But yes, let out on the clutch and then set the parking brake, and then make sure you don't touch the clutch pedal again.

I guess my muscle memory is to hold the clutch in, set the parking brake, turn off the car, then let the clutch out (in gear) when parking normally. If I'm leaving the vehicle running I do everything the same except I leave it in neutral and don't turn the car off, so the last thing I do before...

I always use 1st or reverse when parking the car with the engine off, however if you need to (or want to) park temporarily with the engine still running, neutral with parking brake is the only way. I give as an example the gas station nearby my house. I will often start the car in the garage...

This whole issue seems to stem from the system that automatically disengages the parking brake when you try to drive away with it engaged not having enough safety interlocks or rules to govern when it activates. It can activate with as little input as letting the clutch out in the right...

As far as I can tell, this is related to the function that automatically disengages the parking brake if you try to drive away with it engaged. Steps to replicate: Come to a complete stop with the clutch in, car in neutral. Keep clutch held in. Set parking brake, let go of brake pedal. Let the...
