I had the diff replaced in the 91 318 is about 2 months ago. When I got it back I noticed a slight shudder on hard acceleration.
It's gotten progressively worse and the mechanic can't locate the source. At this point I'm thinking it's the clutch. The gear changes have gotten gummy, there is a slight rattle at 2k when sitting still and a very pronounced vibration when disengaging or engaging the clutch.
This is my daily driver beater so I'm not interested in a 500 aluminium flywheel, but substantially removing rotation mass is good and can be accomplished on the cheap ala 325i swap.
So I called up the local german car junkyard / parts dealer and was quoted ~430 for parts.
Everything included from the flywheel, clutch, and all the other little bits.
This seemed a little on the high side, but I wanted to get with you guys to check on it.
I forgot to get a break down so I could cross reference to BMA, but hopefully I'll be able toget that tonight.
Cliff Notes
Doing the 325i flywheel swap
Price quoted for parts seemed high from the local parts slinger "~430.00"
Do you have a ballpark for the required parts?
