TSB, Supercharger clutch engagement...
My dealer, who I don't fully trust (sorry if you're reading guys), says that the rough engagement of m uspercharger is normal and won't get any better. Isn't there a TSB or a fix on this, or an updated pulley/software? I want to make sure she has every update beofre the warranty expires in about 6 months, plus, that engagement can be aggravating to a novice. Any info you can provide is helpful...

Just remember if you're running a larger pulley with the new clutch, slip may occur due to the softer material used in MKii.
Clutch MKii is MB's soft C solution to clients whinging about the chirp which actually comes from the belt and pulley suddenly engaging. The new clutch softens the engagement.
I'm quite fond of that noise though...

Again, how can I identify...
which one I have? I canbarely make out the print on my VMI (the delaer printed it twice), so I can't tell by looking if it's been done. If you get to an 05 model, I probably have the later one anyway, correct?
