I hate flex discs

[Jean]

I am going to call autohaus az and bma and ask for OE part and see what they have...

[xLibelle]

no bigger in diameter, just beefier.

Damn $77 for the e34 m5 flex disc is $

[Jean]

And I have a 240 in there, so I bet this doesn't apply to me at all right ?

Just changed the pn in your link with one for my car, 26111225624.

Mine was like this when I bought the car.


I've gone through another since then, due to incorrect driveshaft reassembly (unbalanced).

I hate flexdiscs, too.

L o fn L.^

so e34 m5 and e36 m3 have same Guibo eh? how much for the e36 M3 unit?

[golde30]

nevermind. i found it @ BMA. Lemfoerder flex disc for e36 m3 = $120...

hooly sheet. well, I am sure mine will be just like that by the end of the week if not worse.


guys, any input on the centering bushing or sleeve ? item #1 in the picture below.

"Also, replace the centering bushing. It sits in the front of the driveshaft and keeps the driveshaft centered on the transmission output shaft. If it's loose or missing the flex disk has extra stress trying to keep the driveshaft in-axis even if it's otherwise aligned."

Yeah, I remember when I first posted that pic someone compared it to Chewbacca.

I didn't even know the centering bushing was it's own piece. I just assumed it was part of the driveshaft. Should it be replaced?

I am just going to order a new OE 318i part, I don't want to take a chance and order an e34/e36 part and then find out it doesnt' fit, plus my 100hp m10 shouldn't need a $100 guibo :drink:

[MR 325]

I have had problems with every guibo I've ever put on any of my cars. In February when I did my B25 swap I installed an OEM BMW guibo and as of 3 days ago when I did my tranny, I looked brand fucking new. OEM ftw.
