Default Does our car have SAC?

I remember when my stepfather had his S2000 and I was on the forums and they said it had a self adjusting clutch. Meaning that the engagement point could move depending on the driver and how it was being driven. Does the S4 have this cause in traffic sometimes my engagement point moves up and in highway driving its smooth and where its supposed to be.

Dude, I am sorry that you seem to be endlessly annoyed with the S4's clutch. Always thought I was sensitive to this aspect of my cars and I think the B8 is one of the best. If it still bugs you this much maybe it is time to think of another car that will not cause so much stress.

Good luck.

The S-tronic clutches self adjust fine.

I would expect MT6 clutches to have some kind of self adjust mechanism, even the old Mustangs had that.

LOL no its not so much annoyance just a little different to me. It feels decent now just wanted to know if it was self adjusting cause the engagement point moved during traffic and I wanted to make sure it was that. I think since I was new to AWD manual compared to fwd or rwd the dynamic is a little different and the shifting needed some finessing thats all.

Gotcha! Yes, it does almost feel as the clutch changes with the ADS settings. Hope you find much enjoyment with the car! I am putting too many miles on already, I keep finding reasons to get in and drive.

Cheers!

SAC? Strategic Air Command?

Hmmmmm, I never found such air cover to be necessary!

Yes it is needed when cops call the chopper out for high speed chases. Just needed to make sure I could call in the predator to take them out lol :-)

Yea I found that greasing the rod that goes into the firewall and hitting the springs in the car with some White lithium grease helps. A lot of other cars had these isses when the car is warm cause I think the OEM grease doesnt hold up 100%
