I am having some interesting issues with the clutch on my 2001 325iT in that is does not seem to disengage fully and seems to clamp abruptly when engaging. The clutch is original w/70k miles, the clutch delay valve has been removed and a recall on the throw-out bearing was performed several years ago (replacement). Ultimately I would like to remove the SAC and replace it with a normal style clutch. My understanding is that this can be done two ways: aftermarket lightweight flywheel/sprung hub clutch combo or stock 330i 5 speed dual mass flywheel/aftermarket sprung hub clutch combo. This is where things get a little more gray and I have a question... Apparently the lightweight flywheel used in many kits is the same as that for an E36 M3. If this is the case could the stock E36 M3 flywheel be used with the stock E36 M3 clutch as a replacement for the SAC unit in my car? My reasoning is simple, stock E36 M3 flywheels are easy to find and cheap, I also happen to have an E36 M3 clutch kit on the shelf collecting dust. I also do not mind keeping a Dual Mass flywheel. Any info/experience is appreciated. Matt Weimer Hoosier Chapter '95 M3 '01 325iT ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.

My identical car has had occasional, what seem like disengagement problems, ever since a new clutch was put in at 48k as part of the throw-out bearing recall. The problem (hard engagement into 1st when stopped) seems to have diminished significantly after a slave cyl flush and time (I still can't heel-toe after all these years so I'm sure my clutch suffers a bit at the track) >This may be a shot in the dark but if the info is out there this >group would know... > >I am having some interesting issues with the clutch on my 2001 325iT >in that is does not seem to disengage fully and seems to clamp >abruptly when engaging.
