What clutch kit to order?

[Jean]

I am using a 91 b35 engine with a 91 g260/6 e34 tranmission AND a 533 flywheel.

Would I want to use a e28 535i clutch kit or e34 535i clutch kit?

Someone has told me that e34 clutch kit won't work for me with this combination because of it's stack height?

I just need a confirmation before I order it, would hate to order something that isn't going to work for me.

Thanks!

I have the same engine/trans setup with the exception of the flywheel, which is an e28 535i unit. I am running an e28 m5 clutch. It lined up perfect and worked great for the little time it has been in use.

I have almost the same combo, and I just kinda called Steve Haygood way back when and asked him. If I remember correctly he gave me an e28 kit, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I could swear it was though.

Unfortunately according to the guys at mye28 he's not doing business right now (personal issues I think) otherwise I would just suggest calling and asking him.

I was leaning towards the e34 535i kit as someone explained to me that with 260/6 tranny it's the kit to use, BUT then someone explained that the e34 535i kit wouldn't work and I need an e28 535i kit (like you suggested above)...

It depends on your flywheel. If you've double-mass, then you need E34 setup. With "normal" flywheel you need to use E28 setup.

[Jean]

Single mass 533

What slave cylinder do I want, an e28 535i as well?

Thanks!

[RickSloan]

any slave should work i believe, m20 or m30

[Jean]

Cool. Sucks that the e28 kit is the most expensive of the bunch...

[RickSloan]

how is the price compared to m5?

[Jean]

Less, M5 clutch kit is over $400.
