Tips on Clutch Replacement

Wonderfull article. It's just a shame I found it after I've completed my clutch project. I, like Mark mentioned, did not have to remove the heat sheild or starter either. As a matter of fact no intake manifold or components were dismantled to acheive my task as well. I did find it helpfull, after studying the situation, to just take a little more time and remove the entire radiator support. It drasticly helps with the Eng. /Tranny removal. Take your time. Double check everything. MED

Thanks for the kind words on the article. On some of the early cars there are some differences in the clutch replacement, so you may have to use a bit of trial and error to figure out what you need to replace and/or remove. I'm going to copy your comments here to the forums and perhaps some other people may have additional suggestions for other people about to try this task.

BMW clutch provides a lavishly comfortable ride. Yes i am agree with wayne, First we have to find out the problem on clutch. Generally in clutch replacement we replace 3 pieces: the pressure plate, clutch disc and throwout bearing.While you are replacing clutch it is recommended to replace the pilot bearing too. Other parts like the fork, pivot spin, guide tube, etc. will so long-lasting so you don't really have to replace them. If after this you are not able to replace clutch than you can contact expert BMW Repair Dallas from 972- 351-8964
