Ok, what is this talk about "early v8 solid flywheel" anybody know?

Clutch/flywheel. The 6 speed box has larger splines than the 5 speed, also the 6 speed has a 265mm diameter friction plate whereas the 5 speed uses a 240mm friction plate. Both use a dual mass flywheel which is pants for skidding (or so I hear). The 5 speed 240mm clutch is also the same as many other bmw models, the e36 m3 being one meaning the 5 speed box allows greater choice in aftermarket clutch. Ive chosen to ditch the stock dual mass flywheel and go for a solid flywheel, from various reports the lightweight alloy ones are rubbish for track use. A solid can be made from various engineers, im currently looking at using an earlier bmw 530 v8 solid flywheel and putting the m62 ring gear onto it as the crank sensor is attached to this ring gear. Im hoping that ths built flywheel and m3 paddle clutch will work perfectly in the 5 speed box.
