SC Clutch causing "jolting" when engaging?
I’ve been experiencing “jolts” on my car when the SC kicks in (similar to someone unfamiliar with driving a stick). It happens at lower RPMS around 2000-rpm usually while I'm cruising 20 mph and apply good throttle. It’s more pronounced now after the pulley/tune, which is obvious because there is more power.
Do you think this is a sign of the SC Electro clutch wearing out?

Nah, just the sign of a health beast.
Supercharger engage just one of the reasons they went to N/A. Drove a lot of people crazy. My dealer told one pretty old dude bought one brand new and literally returned it in 48 hours......just hated it.
Chirp was the biggest compaint we used to have and newer clutch fixed it.
Jolt is just the motor literally going from around 300 or less to 500hp in milliseconds. Tuned car is now 300hp or less to upper 5's to low 600s. Imagine mine....700!! It's pretty violent and I LOVE IT!!!

This happened to me a couple days ago, I was gonna post this question also.
I was at a stop sign and I was easing onto the gas, wasn't trying to go fast at all and all of a sudden it felt like a bucking bronco, if anyone is familiar with how the smg m3's feel sometimes.
I'm stock btw.

I guess its a ECU software management issue.
