Hey guys,
I recently did the common m20 flywheel swap into my 90’ 318is, using the m42 spacer ring, m20 starter and a 323 tob (21511204525) and the clutch pickup point is very high, at the top of the throw of the clutch pedal. Contrary to what people say, that with this combination of the parts, the pickup should be low, as it should be with a new clutch.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I’ve now removed the trans, and am thinking of using the 325 tob that was included in the clutch kit, as from the base of the bearing to the shoulder of the tob it is 4-5mm shorter than the 323 tob. This should mean that the tob has to travel further, hence a lower pickup point in the clutch pedal. My only concern is that I’ll run into issues with the slave cylinder having to travel too far with the shorter tob.
if that makes any sense. My thought process could be wrong so please correct me if this isn’t how it works.
the image attached shows the taller 323 tob on the left and the shorter 325 tob on the right.
thanks,
nick.
