Currently doing an m30 swap... M30b35, e28 dual mass flywheel, unknown m30 pressure plate and clutch disc, e28 getrag trans. We got the clutch bits together, and now when pressing down the clutch pedal it just sort of stops halfway and doesn't disengage the clutch disc. Any ideas as to what is happening? Are there supposed to be spacers between the pressure plate and the flywheel?

That rather makes me think that the clutch disk is in backwards and is binding on the flywheel bolts.
I have never seen a case where there are spacers between the flywheel and crankshaft.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

I'm guessing your clutch slave is fully extended as a result of something not matching in the clutch setup. ( too short T/O bearing, missing plastic pivot nub, etc). There are no spacers between press. and fly.Lorin

Hmm, gearbox side of clutch disc is clearly marked and pointed toward gearbox. TOB is the "correct" one for an e28 transmission... When the pressure plate is on fully, should the springs be about 5-8 mm from the flange of the clutch disc?Originally posted by jlevie View Post
Plastic pivot nub is on the slave's pin...Comment

Is the end of the slave visible to view ? If it is maxxing out it will be obvious. If not it will be under the bellhousing.Lorin

Try the euro 323i t/o. Not sure how much longer it is than the e28 one though. This happened to me when i put a deep bellhousing late eta trans on my 325i. 323 t/o fixed it

hate making those mistakes haha. sounds badass man have fun
wait...did you have a single mass flywheel on and a pressure plate for the SM? if so that euro t/o will work and will save some weight for the difference in flywheel.Comment
