Question on BMW 3-Series E36 Clutch_Replace

I swaped the dual mass flywheel for a steel one last weekend, I had inquired about what parts i would need to diffent part housed including Pelican and nobody really knew what it took so i compared part #s until i was satisfied that I had compiled the correct parts that I would need. It turned out that I just needed a flywheel from an E30 that had a steel flywheel and buy the clutch kit for it. you would also need to buy shorter flywheel bolts, 8 12 by 28mm bolts . Really the only parts that different are the clutch disc and the pressure plate,all the other parts are the same, in my E30 the long end of the clutch disc was marked trans side. I also lowered the crossmember 3 inches which made a huge difference in getting to the hated upper torx bolts, I hope this article answers questions somebody might have. The cars seems to acellerate quicker now I think the assembly is a lot lighter now. happy wrenching!
