    Cluch cylinder hose?

    Which one is usually used with the swap, E30 or E36?

    Either? Neither?

    (Both?)

      Ooops. Master to slave on a ZF 5 speed. '97 S52.

      Any links for a braided hose?

        Sure, use a UUC Motorwerks E36 325i clutch hose with the 325i slave.

        The E30 clutch hose needs to be bent back so that the hardline that meets up with the slave cylinder is more or less straight. You can avoid this monkeying around by getting an E36 clutch hose.

          Or you can just have one made. I just had one made the other day. Cost me $40. Braided with a plastic coating.

            The UUC one would have cost you $30.

            You can use either of the e36 slave cylinders, but either way you need an e36 325i hose.

            If you're using an M3 clutch: The M3 slave cylinder will give you a stock-ish soft pedal, the regular e36 one will give you a very stiff pedal.

              Another vote for the UUC hose. My only other mod aside from the lightweight flywheel. (unless the M50nv counts as a mod.):D

                I despise UUC after they have treated me like shit on multiple occasions.

                I also didnt have to wait for it to get shipped, or pay for shipping.
