Clutch and trans life with mods?
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.

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 .

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.
