would this work on my new/used 5 speed transmission i just want to be sure i used to drive hondas and miatas lol so this dual mass flywheel thing is new to me.

FOUND exact thing mine did 20 minutes after i bought it haha. < thats exactly what it did.

You could use that clutch kit. I wouldn't recommend it. And unfortunately no one else on this forum probably will either. No data, no reviews. No track tested, street tested data at all from this company

I've been researching clutches and flywheels for the past six months prior to doing the swap, this is my sixth BMW and my third clutch job and I'll only be using UUC components in their Stage 1 kit. If you use the search function, you'll find a ton of information, debates, and useful information. Good luck.

ok thanks! i was also looking at sach kits too my friend highly reccomend those but the fly wheel is so much more. so im looking for something around 400$ total you got any reccomendations uuc is lil out of my price range.

What makes you think the flywheel is shot? How many miles are on it?

UUC created the non-adjusting clutch. BMW I believe uses Sachs self-adjusting clutches which adjust the clutch feel in relation to the clutch wear. They fixed an issue which was never really an issue, basically creating a complicated part which can lead to more problems later. UUC is non-self adjusting. Highly recommended from everyone on here and myself. UUC and places like bavauto.com will sell the stage 1 kit without the flywheel for under 400.

The common rule of thumb is that you can get two clutches for every flywheel. So unless you had serious reason to think your flywheel was burnt I would only do a clutch.

128k miles only but lady when she was showing me car she was riding hard on clutch made me kringe and also it was grinding lightly when you let go of clutch now like its still grabbing as if its stuck in gear.

and if you see video i posted too thats same exact thing mine did and guy said his flywheel was toast and mine smoked and made noises like crazy like marbles in tranny. so bought transmission and now just need clutch. new tranny has only 48k miles.

tough call man, personally I'd either want to see the flywheel to see what shape its in, OR i'd purchase the UUC Stage 1 kit with flywheel but thats out of budget for ya.
