    s52 + m20 clutch = what t/o bearing?

    I've always thought if I use the g260 trans and m20 flywheel I need to use an e21 323i throw out bearing, is that correct?
    Part #: 21511204525

    can I get that from anywhere or just the dealer?

    Thanks!

    I'm no pro here but I will tell you what I know.

    I got my euro throw-out bearing from the dealer (I work there) and it came from germany. There are none in the states.

    I also found one at pelican parts but it was more than my OEM one.

    I'm swapping a M50 and plan on using the M20 flywheel and clutch with the getrag 240 and this is what my
    searching yielded me.

    good luck

          Best I can remember is TO bearing matches the clutch and pilot bearing matches the tranny.

                Unless you're using a G250 with m20 clutch/pressure plate/fly wheel. In this case you would use euro 323.

                    All this has actually been covered before and this would be the best place to go...



                    Its the 3rd time I refer that thread to someone I think - good info there for sure.

                        Good info here...I've never found a solid answer. I ended up having to extend (ghetto-rig) a g260 clutch slave for my m50/g250 setup.

                          and if i'm not mistaken you also have to use the e21 323i t/o bearing when using a g240 with an m20 flywheel.
