430 Can someone confirm I'm not crazy: "soft" clutch reset

I don’t.

 

I agree. Did you get a clunk or movement in the transmission area after the beep ?

 

I am still if it resets all the clutch wear curves then reduces torque untill new curves are created

Also if that is the case I would think, although smooth takeoff ..more clutch wear while TCU figures out proper torque curve again

This is the same concept as a throttle body reset ..dumps fuel in and starts reduces it until it figure out proper mixture

What OBD reader is that? got a link by anychance? (its a jungle out there when it gets to OBD readers in my opinion) As we got a 09 car and would like to be able to read the issues but also the clutchwear on our car

 

Jeroen, it’s the Launch Mini Pro S. I’ve had it about four years and been very happy with it.

 

There was no issue with torque. There was just less slippage prior to full engagement if that makes sense. In other words, full engagement “hook up” was quicker. Thus, less slippage and smoother engagement.

Or, it could be relearning the actuator position. It sounded exactly like what occurred on my 355 when hooked to a Leonardo for an actuator relearn. Clunk sound and motion in the transmission area.

If you strictly looking to gather info and not do any type of work requiring functions from a diag tool I would suggest this

60 dollars or less

I noticed Dominick’s link didn’t work for me, so here’s a photo of what I have. I preferred to spend a little more for more functionality since I’m doing all my own work and plan to keep my 430 for a long time.

Do you need to do an annual renewal for your specific car Allen?

 

John, you get two years of free upgrades and then you have to start paying, BUT, version 11.0 came out before my free renewals ended, which included the clutch wear percentage so I haven’t felt a need to pay for subsequent renewals.
