I read an article on the double clutch fitted to the M3's, very interesting technically. Wish I had done Mechanical Engineering instead of Civil Engineering, I could be designing oily bits for cars or trucks or JCB's hmm mibbie not JCB given the climate. |

Great find K. That explains it way better than the magazine did and it shows in a sort of schematic diagram form the uninterrupted power flow thru the clutch. Very clever. Although wot does that do, make the gear change 200 nano seconds quicker? Would us ordinary punters notice that? Andrew |
