Update: Before trying the bypass, I handed it off to Toyota to see what happens. I picked it up today and they ended up finding that the battery health was bad and replaced it. Did that fix the issue? I am not sure yet. It did not start when I drove it earlier but did start on the second press...

Someone had mentioned to bypass the clutch switch but I didn't consider it a serious option as I had no idea how to do it. Just stumbled upon this last night https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1099239 I like to think I'm competent enough to do this so I'll update when the parts...

Correct, wont crank. Screen says depress clutch pedal to start. The pedal is indeed plastic. Im not sure if there is any adjustment for that switch. This is what we replaced (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vemo-bmw-clutch-switch-61319231129) When it does start, it cranks and starts up...

He took a look at it and couldn't figure it out. The issue is that the car won't start because it cannot detect if the clutch pedal is depressed. The issue only is apparent when it is hot outside and the car has been sitting in the sun. The car will start if it is cool outside (morning/night)...

I have the FX400SS 8puck but it has less than 50 miles on it due to other issues right now. (https://www.supramkv.com/threads/clutch-slipping-issues-and-warranty-denial.22940/) For now the pedal is much stiffer than I'd like as I daily the car. I haven't broken it in yet so I will get back to...

I've made a full post about my experience here for those who care to read. https://www.supramkv.com/threads/clutch-slipping-issues-and-warranty-denial.22940/

1) Image at the end of this post. They told me 8500 over the phone so I went in today to get the quote on paper. Parts are 4966 and the service guy said they charge 10 hours labour which is 2800 =$7766 which is less the phone quite but still too much. My mechanic did it for 800 labour since we...

We did take it to toyota corporate and they said the same thing. No help, pay the dealer to fix it, glhf. I'll bring up to bleed the clutch when I drop it off to my mechanic. But I'll probably order the part to have the switch replaced as well. Just need to find a part number for it.

I wanted to compile my whole experience of the clutch issue and warranty process into one place. Was supposed to enjoy this car as a long term daily driver but I have recently been considering selling it to get an Integra Type S which I had considered prior to purchase. ------------- At about...

I went down a rabbit hole of shifter bushings after looking how to remove the clutch pedal to install the CM pedal bushings and found these two items from Rogue Engineering. https://www.rogueengineering.com/Rogue-Engineering-OCTANE-Short-Shift-Kit_p_115.html...

Here are pictures from the OEM parts for those curious.

Its a little smoother while still retaining the notchy feeling. Exactly what I wanted!

Likewise Nad Pro knob and a BFI leather boot!

Update part ????: Installed the CM FX400SS 8-puck and a steel flywheel. Also installed the E90 slave cylinder. Good news: clutch doesn't slip anymore Bad news: the pedal is heavier than yo mama Not sure what to do to make it lighter. Its less daily drivable now unfortunately.

Finally installed it!

Messaged. Im located in Modesto.

Nitro Yellow Located in the Bay Area! Nice to meet yall. But also, What wing is this????

Got all the stuff to take mine off. And its a real pain to pull off the OEM knob. Pulled as hard as I can in every position I could get myself into and no luck. I'll try again tomorrow. Any advice to get that thing off?

Ended up buying it and installed it yesterday. Definitely worth the money. Nice and comfortable on the highway when cruising but loud enough for me in sport mode.

But if you’re interested, go ahead and message me and we can set something up! It’s just taking up space right now lol.
