Massive brain fart: which side does the flywheel shim go on

[Schwarz325]

I can't remember this to save my damn life. It's e30 flywheel with getrag 260 going on an m50. Sorry to post a thread but google was useless.

Thanks

I think it goes facing the clutch disk. I just did this a month ago, I should remember..durr

The shim acts as a single washer to distribute the load evenly when the flywheel bolts are torqued.

RealOEM.com would have shown you the proper orientation, btw.

EDIT: There you go ^.

Oh ok so it goes on the engine side

No it goes on the clutch side. It acts as a washer to distribute load as stated above.
