it is easier to remove it fully, then just drop front side.
prepare your self with long extentions for your rachet for top bilts as they are hard to get.
what about engine tilt, i didnt notised, but maybe my mounts was good, and it didnt tilt to much at all.
when puting all back toghether, pay double attention on the part nr5 and nr7 in above picture, as they can go in a bit wrong and youl have no clutch at all and box will have to come off again to readjust them parts
I never changed the clutch as it was a car I was breaking. So I got as far as taking off the prop, removed the gearbox mounts etc.
Anyone have any info on
going the rest of the distance?
what ya mean?

All that has been described it removing the box etc. What about opening it up and replacing the actual clutch? Sorry if I'm not being clear.

RE: Changing Clutch E36 318is
Anyone want to recommend a clutch?
Id say the 140€ sachs one on micks Garage is a safe bet?
Much point to a sports/lightened fly wheel or would you appreciate it on the M44?

Meant to be a lot of point. :wink:
RE: Changing Clutch E36 318is
I'm running a Valeo solid flywheel and clutch kit at the moment and would definitely recommend it.
There's no additional vibration and its a direct replacement so no need to source a different started or release bearing and is also a few kg lighter than standard.
The one flaw in mine at least is that the point to lock the flywheel for timing the engine is out by about 60 degrees from where it should be.
I find it nice for daily driving but it does take a bit of getting used to
RE: Changing Clutch E36 318is
If you supply the beer ands shit I may see about gettin a few lads up and we'll boss it for ya :D I'll say it now though, bags not doing the starter motor ;)
RE: Changing Clutch E36 318is
The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel by 6 multi pt bolts, they are handy enough to get off. The flywheel bolts on the other hand can be a bit of a pain without an impact wrench, there are four of them (17's I think).
I would recommend you invest in a cheap clutch alignment tool for fitting it up again. They are about 20 euro from a motor factors but will save a world of ball ache...
RE: Changing Clutch E36 318is
if you have someone with a strong hand agus a spanner on the crank nut there grand. There's 8 on the flywheel itself and there 18's I think :)
Changing Clutch E36 318is
Sound for the offer Jason :) I'm working on securing an assistant lol. I had to take some time off work cos misery guts wouldn't let me carry it to next year so have a week to do it. I've decided to just go with the Sachs bogger standard and not upgrade anything.
I was actually thinking of getting the starter reconditioned? Seems to make sense but I hear it's a load of bollocks to get out?
Sound for saying about the clutch alignment tool. I will have an impact wrench, breaker bar and torch on standby don't worry!
