FUBARED something in the clutch (now with PICS)

[sohc12vm20]

if you want an OEM clutch designed for the engine output the S50/52 Original clutch is VERY durable; its dual mass but realistically does not weight much more than m20 single mass set.

S50/52 clutch will fit in G260 also - pnp item to your m20. I used a 100% OEM S52 clutch+fly set with my S54@ 8400rpm redline + alpha N tune (low 300's rwhp)

the s52 I bought has a very good clutch and fly set/ 60k on it only, so my stock 90 325i trans will fit fine when using the S52 clutch,fly,PP? I didnt know this, please confirm;) thanks! I

thanks. I'm running a stock M20 stuff with my zf trans. Single mass flywheel lightened with stock Sachs clutch and stock pressure plate. Hopefully I can get confirmation tomorrow of what actually failed and report back. Hopefully it is just the clutch disc?

Never heard of Clutchmaster but I will look into them...thanks.

Lets crack it open and see whats going on.

I make similar power. On a stock clutch the rivets failed on the clutch itself, not the pressure plate. Upgraded to a Clutchmaster and it's been fine since.

What clutch are you running??

[e30rapidic]

makes an awful noise but still drives and shifts like normal. With the rear wheels off the ground and car in neutral, the driveshaft would not turn at all by hand. Soooooo....

Hopefully its just a toasted TO bearing but I've been reading about the pressure plate coming apart on some people. What kind of clutch set ups are you using with the M20 flywheel? I haven't pulled mine apart yet but it sounds pretty bad; one option is the UUC performance clutch. I'd like to keep my lightweight M20 flywheel and starter but will replace that if needed.

Motor is a refreshed S50, 3.5 intake, headers and TRM chip. So 260? 270? crank hp.

suggestions?
