jc43089 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 So this not a dual mass flywheel I assume? What is the weight on it compared to stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M318 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Single mass. It is 16 lbs compared to 25 lbs for the stock flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M318 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Did you know that on bimmerfest.com they were telling people to put their clutch disk in backwards to get rid of chattering. What do you think about that? Is it COMPLETELY ridiculous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 As long as you install with a left handed wrench it should be fine. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about that? Is it COMPLETELY ridiculous? It won't work lol. The flywheel bolts will run into the clutch disk.

M318 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 IM STUCK!!!! I just went to put my M5 Clutch KIT on.... The alignment pins do not line up!! I think I was supposed to buy the M5 clutch disk and not the pressure plate!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M318 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 What sucks more is that I already returned the M3 clutch disc and pressure plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Maybe someone else has more info but I think you are supposed to use an e34 m5 clutch. I have the UUC flywheel with oem sachs m5 (which is a sprung hub) clutch and pressure plate but I think its for an e34. Not sure if the UUC flywheel is different to accommodate the different clutch, I didn't try fitting the stock pressure plate over the dowels.

M318 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have the E34 M5 clutch and pressure plate. I returned the stock OEM M3 kit. I am now thinking that I will have to use the M5 clutch disc and then buy the M3 Pressure plate! GRR and I went to put the exhaust on and I don't have any studs! God dammit this project is just one thing after the other. I feel like I am perpetually waiting for parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Oh earlier you said it was for an e39 m5. Do you need studs for the manifold to head or manifold to downpipe? If you can put the exhaust manifolds on the head before putting it in the car do it. I found out it's very difficult to put the manifolds on with the engine in the car.

M318 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I now installed my M5 clutch with M3 pressure plate. They didn't send me a clutch alignment tool DAMMIT. Does anyone have a spare alignment tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have one for an m50 w/ getrag, is it the same? I could mail it to you. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have one for an m50 w/ getrag, is it the same? I could mail it to you. Just let me know. Should be the same since the trans are the same right. See if GunMetalGray has one, he is in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need an aftermarket flywheel so you can flip the clutch so it will lay inside the flywheel. I'm not familiar with your flywheel at all.
