Clutch and trans life with mods?

[ace32x]

Recently picked up a 14 GC and have been wanting to do the standard bolt ons. intakes, downpipes, exhaust tune. Was curious how the trans and clutch life was on the dct bumping it up another 100+ wheel.

75% daily cruised around probably 25% ripped on with wot shifts

The only person I've heard of replacing a clutch was Twitch_Massacre, but I think he races his car
I recently got a letter from BMW about a DriveShaft Recall. I haven't had any issues yet, but this letter worries me a bit.

Allot of people have replaced clutch lol not just one. Anything over stock after a few k miles your gonna slip. You won't feel it but you can see it. Check out my treads .

Stock clutch trash

DCT clutches will have to be replaced depending on the overall WHP/WTQ level you are trying to obtain. Usually around the 650WHP area and aggressive driving is where clutch wear is going to become a factory.
SSP has a great DCT clutch and cooling package available.
There is a lot of great information on this forum

General consensus is 680-700 wheel torque is where youll start to see slipping. Torque and how early it comes on is what kills clutches. My old M5 made 653whp and 657wtq and i beat the piss out of that car and never had a clutch issue. With the mods youre listing you should be fine unless you start ecu tuning and really start bringing on some big power.

wouldnt bother doing those with just a flash, would be a full on tune with above mentioned mods. but its not my only car either more of a cruiser weekend car right now. if they slip that easily ill probably just leave it alone and enjoy minimal maitence on this one. i have a 1500 whp zr1 and a 3k whp z06 both c6's that are plenty of headaches as is lol. was hoping they were a little more durable
