I have had my SVT since 03. Was my commuter through the state of Texas. I am now starting to baby it, and fix the things that have worn down ... [wrenchin]
With all that said I have 108,125K ... so at the moment I win. [nutkick] [woot]
Well... for me, I just changed out my Clutch Slave cylinder. I drive my car hard alot and it's my daily commuter. A friend ... God now rests his soul ... who was a great mechanic, looked at my set up. The works. [headbang]
Tranny, Clutch, Engine ... and all he found was that the slave cylinder was out. I have a still standing engine, the tranny doesn't have any issues ... like someone else said "It's a Getrag". Just the clutch. I replaced it all anyways, because it's HELLA expensive to even take the tranny out. [thumb]
Well, Enjoy the car and the many miles that will come. [cheers]
I got 83,000 miles out of the stock clutch. I only replaced it because i let one of our dealership drivers take it for me to get tires while i was working. He brought it back slipping a little during cold operation. So minus the boost and him driving. The original non TSB clutch if it didnt frag on you is not too shabby.
And I do not do daily driving...i do spirited driving lol.
Don't be so sure just cause BMW uses it, I had to replace mine at 86K when it went out. Some others have had to replace theirs aswell.
Other than that just minimal maintenance
-A few 02 sensors
-Clutch only cause I boosted and wanted it
-a few horns
-Valve cover cracked (wierd I know)
-DSI clip
-2 sets of tires
and some other random stuff.
My tranny is starting to go out. Even with the counterweight removal, It's hard to shift sometimes with "spirited" driving. Of course mine was a lot car, fully loaded and only paid 18K for it. But my stock clutch went out around 60k.
Just turned 42k. Still 'getting acquainted' with the car. Bought it w/40k....
