    Eta Clutch Replacement, WHAT DO I NEED?!

    Gonna be doing the clutch in my 325e pretty soon and want to make sure I have everything I need to do the job right (special tools, additional parts to replace, etc)

    My list so far is:
    Clutch
    Flywheel (dual/single mass?)
    Guibo
    Throw out bearing
    Shifter bushings
    Redline Trans fluids

    I don't have any other car to help me while I do this, so making store runs will kill daylight, and I'd like to have everything ready for me at the time I do the job.

    Thanks for any input!

      You usually get a throwout bearing if you buy a clutch kit. Get a pilot bearing. You will need a guide tool if it doesn't come with one. Not sure which flywheel it has, but you usually don't need a new one. You should resurface the old one, or get another used one, resurface it so you don't have to resurface yours since you don't want to be running around when you got it all taken apart. They usually recommend new flywheel bolts, but idk how critical that is. Maybe someone can confirm.

        Bolts are cheap, just replace them. FWIW I've always used new ones any time I've done a clutch (non-BMW)
