2nd Gen R55 Clubman Most liked posts in thread: Low clutch resistance in new R55s

You could keep your R56 or upgrade to an R53. :lol: sorry had to say it. :devil:

 

I would agree. I just moved from an R53 to an R55, and I immediately noticed the low resistance of the clutch. It did take me a few days to get used to it, and I must admit to stalling her like a newbie once or twice.

 

:cornut: Glad to hear that you upgraded from an R53 to an R55!

Upgrade might be the wrong word...moved/transitioned might be a better way to put it. My R53 was very good to me, and I was always good to it. It was, without doubt, the best car I've ever owned...and I do miss it. Only time will tell how I take to the Clubman, but I am loving it so far. And I am very happy I chose to stay with a MINI, over other vehicles that may have been a bit more family practical.

And to keep on topic...now that I am used to the lower resistance on the clutch, sitting in traffic is MUCH easier than it ever was with my R53. So there's that. :lol:

 

:cornut: Other than adding a spring between the pedal and the dash, I haven't a clue.

All the new MINIs I've driven have low clutch resistance.
