Just got this picture and vid from tbal, he's going to be on the road for a while so he asked me to post it for him. Any ideas what's going on? I'll let tbal chime in for the details. Second one is the vid

Looks like he just has a broken clutch. Can't see the vid at work but the pic is pretty clear.

drive the car -- just take off the supercharger belt -- no problem

GT-ER

Exactly...no reason not to drive it. It'll just be ultra slow.

tbal

lol really? That wont harm anything?

GT-ER

Not at all.

ditto pull the belt

benz_addict

WOW. Definitely pull the belt asap. Car will adapt and will shut off "ESP" and give other errors after few WOT's but don't worry as soon as you reattach the belt they will go away. But till then it'll be as fast as a S430

How did that happen? How many KMS on that clutch?

tbal

thanks guys, you guys are always a great help!

Im not going to bother driving the car at all until clutch is replaced.

Car has 33xxx miles on her... what causes the clutch to fail like this? I am quite the spirited driver, I guess that could cause this? Or is this just a wear n tear thing?

What size pulley are you running? If nothing too extreme I'd guess it's just wear and tear or a subpar unit given your car has very low mileage. Hope you get the beast running well again soon.

tbal

No pulley, all stock

Dayam...Hope you are able to work everything out!
