    Hey guys. I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this, but as the title says that’s what my car does. Today I finished installing some headers and after finishing some fun driving I parked the car up and heard a knocking noise. When I would press the clutch in, it would go away and vice versa...

    Plan on replacing clutch/flywheel on an 03 330xi 6mt. The production date is 05/2003, if that even matters. My googles have lead me to some kits for the xi but I’m not sure whether or not they’ll fit as it’s a non-M 6-speed, obviously not standard for an xi. Basically I would like to know if the...

    2004 330Ci 6MT When I compress or decompress the clutch pedal, I hear a spring-like noise. Here's a video. E46 clutch noise It's mostly audible outside the car. I've heard this noise ever since I got it. Service records show the clutch was serviced right before I bought the car. Others I've...

    I bought and stripped a 2001 330ci for its manual drivetrain and am swapping it into a 2004 330ci. I know the input shaft splines are different on facelift vs prefacelift so I need to use prefacelift clutches, but I'm not sure about flywheels. The flywheels look slightly different but I'm not...

    Greetings, I have finally found some time to begin working further on the tear down of my M54b30, I have recently broken the plastic timing chain guide when hand balling the cylinder head off the block and now need to pull the timing cover off to replace it. I have a big concern, the only tool...

    Hi guys, I have been through pretty much every thread and youtube video out there on MT swaps (shop life, 50s kid, etc) but I can't seem to figure out if this will work the same on a 2005 330i – all these threads and demos are 323i / 325i. What I'm wondering is – for the flywheel conversion...

    Hi, I live in Brazil and I own a 2003 330i smg 6 speed with 110k miles. My car is making a lot of noise when going out in 1st and when entering the reverse garage ramp, after heating up the noises get worse and the clutch makes that characteristic vibration only in 1st, in 2nd and in the other...

    I was on my way home from a 2 hour drive when suddenly my clutch decides it is time to be done. The previous owner of this car (2002 325xi) installed the Valeo Single Mass Flywheel conversion kit in it. My question now is do I have to get specifically a Valeo clutch exactly like that or can I...

    Hi, I have a faulty flywheel and clutch slips at 1st gear high revs. I just recently noticed that when at neutral the revs tend to jump a little bit. Could that be because of a faulty clutch and flywheel? FL, 320D, manual

    04 zhp 6spd, 247km As far as symptoms go, no irregular noises on startup or shutoff, and no wierd feel in the clutch pedal. Engagement point is definitely higher since it has started to slip. Based on what I have read online this seems to just be a worn-out clutch, but want to see what you...

    Hey guys, First post here and in the coming days I’ll be a first time e46 owner. I'm about to purchase a 99 323i sedan with a starting issue and wanted to see if anybody here has had a similar issue before. Previous owner installed a stage 4 clutch and a lightweight single mass flywheel...

    I am doing a auto to manual swap on my 2004 330xi. last week I found a salvage yard that had the exact year and make as my car, but with a 6mt. Today I finished taking off the transmission on the salvage car, I took everything I needed besides the flywheel because it rocked back and forth. Let...

    Hey guys, was hoping to get some advice, I'm having quite a bit of trouble right now - currently doing SSK, clutch, and flywheel on my 2003 6spd 330xi and I cannot for the life of me get off one of the top bell housing bolts. I've already taken off the transfer case. Facing towards the front of...

    I just purchased myself a 2002 325xi with a lightweight swap and new front suspension and it is very different than my auto 325i haha. I just wanted to say to anyone wanting to do a lightweight flywheel swap that they should highly consider it. This car is very quick now! yes it does have some...

    I'm due for a clutch replacement and want to know if the Sachs + JB combo is good for a street putter, SMG, M3?. I'll put in a new OE fork lever, spring clip, throw out bearing and brass pivot pin as well. Other recommendations appreciated like ACT? They look ok but are more expensive... The...

    Hi everybody! I have to replace the clutch and most likely the flywheel as well in my 2003 325xi wagon. Just wanted some suggestions on weather there is any better options than oem in a similar price range. I'm not looking to spend more than I have to but wouldn't mind spending a couple hundred...

    Hi All I have a 2005 330ci with a UUC lightweight Flywheel and clutch. The kit only has about 55,000KM on it and it's starting to slip pretty bad the last couple of weeks. I don't have a supercharger or Turbo on the car and i only track it couple times a year, so there is no way that it could...

    Hey guys, I have a 2002 325ci, It's time for me to get a new clutch. Main problem being I have a supercharger so I'm trying to decide which clutch to chose for practicality, fun on the streets, and something that can handle the stress. I don't track my car so that's not anything to worry about...

    Has anyone had experience with lightweight flywheels in the m3? Been reading about them and apparently they chatter like all hell. Only reason I ask Is because I'm changing out the clutch and don't know if I should stick with the dual mass fly wheel or change to single mass or lightweight...
