This looks fun to do whilst lying on the floor of your driveway

@goma3 11 лет назад

I never heard of your website before, but I am definitely buying some parts from you guys. If you put this much effort into DIY videos, that means you really care about your business and your customers. This is not just slap-on job, these are very carefully produced videos. Great customer service means a lot to me and you guys certainly deliver.

@RBZ06LT6 2 года назад

Nah it means they want the bands

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Thanks for the encouraging words. We certainly do want to help our customers with their BMW ownership and we are, indeed, enthusiasts ourselves.

@john2000cash 11 лет назад

Thank you for this informative video. I wish more local motor technicians have the courage to advise their customers to replace with the single mass flywheel. Personally I find the irony in the replacement of the DMF with a solid flywheel and non-adjusting clutch kit as too much to take...!

Leave 1 bolt to hold the flywheel while you pry it off the crankshaft. Easier than playing catch with a big piece of steel.

@Hubjeep 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video. The clutch started slipping on my 1998 M-roadster (S52) last week, car has 83K miles. This video was a nice refresher for me, it's been a few years since I have replaced a clutch. I forgot about the pivot pin and exhaust gaskets!

@adrianovergara2942 9 лет назад

well narrated and well explained very clear I have learned a lot from this video

@davidniquot6423 10 лет назад

A small lateral (Push-Pull left and right) play is normal and even exist on a new dual mass flywheel.

@clefchef8121 9 лет назад

"Torque it to the specification" - it would be nice to know those specifications, could you just mention those on the video?

@farerse 11 лет назад

this looks professionaly done!

@ilkinhamidov 10 лет назад

Thank you very much. Actually the issue was re manufactured clutch back up wheel. Took it out and it had a crack on through the body Under rev it would create dis balance and eventually would destroy the crankshaft bearings

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Yes ... the only differnce on the SMG is the automated clutching and shifting. The transmission is basically the same as the standard transmission.

@RogerMasson 11 лет назад

One minor, but incredibly important detail when removing the transmission is to make sure you have REMOVED the speed sensor, also known as the crankshaft position sensor, also known as the pulse generator. I missed this step on my 2003 M5 and it cost me at least a half hour trying to wrestle the transmission from the engine, and it also cost me the sensor. I don't know if this sensor is present in all E39's, but it is definitely there in the M5.

@danielbailey848 6 лет назад

Great video! I am doing the clutch assembly on my 2002 325ci and I was wondering if I needed to support the engine while removing the transmission. I see that your engine appears to just be moving freely. Thanks for your help!

@bobatporty 10 лет назад

In the video it looks like you reused the old dual mass flywheel on the rebuild?? But a very informative video thanks

@bavarianautosport 10 лет назад

The main video shows installing the aluminum flywheel and performance clutch. We did also show how to install a replacement self-adjusting clutch, as a side note. In this section, we did show this on the old stock dual-mass flywheel. If we were completing the install using a stock clutch set-up, we would have either replaced the dual-mass flywheel or installed the dual-mass & self-adjusting elimination kit.

@atlanticsteroids9625 10 лет назад

BavAuto is the one stop shop for all your bimmer needs and that is a fact. I do have one question however, why did you guys not replace the flywheel on the car after saying it was bad?

@bavarianautosport 10 лет назад

We did replace the flywheel ... we installed the UUC aluminum flywheel!

@atlanticsteroids9625 10 лет назад

Ahh I didn't see part 2 before writing that. UUC Lightweight flywheel is the way to go for sure.

@christiangrad5696 2 года назад

Installing short shift kit

@christiangrad5696 2 года назад

Sorry. Can be deleated.

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Unfortunately, we can't have every agent being a full 100% technician. However, we should have offered further assistance to you. Anyway, if you crossed the sensors and have then installed in the wrong positions, the engine will not run. Secondly, if the pin on the side of the flywheel was damaged, the position sensor will have nothing to read. Did you replace the flywheel, by chance?

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Well ..... if the head is too beat up to accept the Torx socket, at this point, there isn't much you can do besides pulling the engine and transmission so you can actually get to the bolt. You can try hammering on a regular 6-point socket (match one up with one of the removed bolts), as a last ditch effort. If you can get one on tightly, try to turn it by hand ... not with an air-tool.

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Yes, the disc is marked as to which side goes toward the engine or transmission.

@DavidFKturbo 11 лет назад

Get rid of dual-mass for much smoother operation, then why is there dual-mass? Thanx for awesome vids/ David, Sweden

@scottycuk 3 года назад

Because he is talking utter BS, it’s not smoother, just less issues

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

In a general sense, yes it does. Your details will be a bit different, but the overall procedures will be quite similar.

@Passionate747 7 лет назад

Excellent videos well explained thanks for posting them the videos are a great help.

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

If the flywheel has play, as the one in the video did, you will find that the vehicle has a jerky feeling when starting out and when changing throttle application. This vehicle also had a surging feeling when driving at a constant speed, due to the flywheel surface bouncing back and forth at light loading.

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Without driving the car, it's tough to make an accurate diagnosis. However, it does sound like the noise is coming from within the transmission, from your description. What fluid are you running in the transmission? Have you tried the RedLine MTL? See it on our site at bavauto.com . Another thought would be to try the Red Line 75w-90 fluid (it is OK to run this) to see if this changes the noise at all. If it does, you know that it is from within the transmission.

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Well ..... if the engine is running properly and smoothly, then the next probable cause may indeed be a very worn out dual mass flywheel. Typically, you would not have a shake at idle, due to a worn out DMF, but it is conceivable that a very loose one could cause an idle vibration.

@Dicer328 5 лет назад

At 8:00 Otto is absolutely INCORRECT about using that tiny amount of rotational freedom to determine that the DMF is worn out. To prove it to you just search youtube for a video called "The LuK DMF - its function, diagnosis and repair " and go to 3:28 of that video to see what the internals look like. Keep in mind that this channel is about SELLING parts.

@alexronn6400 8 лет назад

@AutmotiveProcedures 11 лет назад

Hi, I work on a lot of German cars and have seen a lot of these dual mass problems. We always recommend the upgrade to the 1 piece flywheel and I have one in my 2006 Jetta but I have noticed it has a very slight jerking feeling in 1st and 2nd gear when compared to a customer with a 2 piece. Have you personally noticed any roughness compared the the dual mass? It might just be me being picky

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

By strongest, do you mean most power? In this case, the S38 (as offered in the E34 M5) offers far more horsepower than the M50 (E36 325i, E34 525i, etc.)..

@buzila270587 6 лет назад

Maybe is just me but you were upgrading from dualmass to single mass and still used the old dualmass flywheel ? Hope my mecanic won't do that and charg me for flywheel ;)

@ejpmotorsports5188 5 лет назад

@kris12211221 11 лет назад

I watched these vids before replacing the clutch in my 87 325, they were a big help, but for some reason the car wont start. just wondering if this could have anything to do with the sensors on the outside of the bell housing, I did have to remove them but I dont think they were damaged at all. I had called the number you provided but the service rep was less than helpful. Im hoping someone might be able to help me out, I just hope the same guy isnt in charge of answering the emails lol, thanx

@julienhagen7411 7 лет назад

The OnePiece flywheel it doesn't Drive smoother. it gives more vibrations on the carbody in lower rpm.(Diesel)

@liviudaniel5082 6 лет назад

great job ,video,big appreciation and like!thanks for share!

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

On the BMW applications, we have found the conversions to be very smooth and solid, when installing the heavy conversion flywheel kits. the lightweight conversions, using the aluminum flywheels, have a bit less damping due to the lower rotational mass.

@andreicamp 11 лет назад

Thanks for this awesome video! I do have one question though. Do you need to support the engine in any way? I believe the E39, like my E36, has 2 mounts for the engine, and 2 for the gearbox. I just remember when I replaced the driveshaft I had to use a jack to support the gearbox. Thanks again!

@AustinTillison 5 лет назад

i accidentally removed the center locking plate in the pressure plate before installing it on the car. I'm having a very difficult time reinstalling the lock plate. is it even possible to reinstall? great video by the way!

@FirstPlaceFilms 5 лет назад

same thing happened to me, you will need to press the pressure plate springs down, then reset the smaller springs with a screw driver and hammer, there are a few vids on how to do this, just look up how to reset it, and it should work.

@arisnavarro 5 лет назад

I also removed the locking plate before i installed the pressure plate and i installed the pressure plate anyways because it was too difficult to reinstall the locking plate. Once I reinstalled my bell housing and slave cylinder, I tried pushing down on my clutch but it would only depress about 1 to 2 inches and hangs up. Now I need to pull everything apart again. Does anyone know if it is critical to remove this locking plate after install and not before? Is this why I am unable to depress my clutch? I just tried reinstalling the locking plate onto my old pressure plate using a large 2-jaw gear puller and a 3/4" x 1.5" x 1.5" piece of plywood for the pushing plate in the middle for the gear puller. i was successful! 😀... So now I'm going to pull everything apart again to try and reinstall the locking plate... Please someone let me know why my clutch does not depress and if it is really critical to reset the clutch with the locking plate... I don't want to have to pull my transmission again...

@arisnavarro 5 лет назад

i ended up dropping my transmission again yesterday. when i looked at the pressure plate, all of the fingers were fully depressed which is why i could not push down on the clutch. i then pulled off the pressure plate and followed a video on how to reset a self adjusting clutch. i built a jig, reinstalled the locking plate in the middle of the pressure plate and then while i reinstalled the pressure plate onto the flywheel with the 6 hex bolts i had to compress the springs on the self adjusting mechanism as i torqued the bolts to 35 Nm. then i popped out the locking plate and put everything back together and installed my slave cylinder. i pressed on the clutch and YES. the clutch felt normal again... man... it's a totally different procedure when you install the oem self adjusting clutch on the e46.

@nolanhuajardo9385 2 года назад

What if you took the locking plate off of the pressure plate before installing it?

@carscoffeeandmischief 9 лет назад

This might be a dumb question; will this be somewhat the same for an 06 530i with an SMG transmission?

@bavarianautosport 9 лет назад

For the most part, yes. You will be dealing with the SMG parts that operate the clutch and shifter hydraulically, but the transmission and clutch assemblies are pretty much the same.

Hello team. Excellent work. Please advise: i got e46 m3 bmw.

@eugenebruno1481 10 лет назад

Hey, I just watched your video--which is very informative. I just learned something new. I have a problem, I purchased my 2003 BMW 325I (manual) 2yrs ago and it drove ok. But I have realized they hardly kept up with maintenance. But my problem is, my BMW does not drive like a BMW. It does not accelerate with power when I step on the gas; it feels like it struggles to move, like it drags. Basically, it does not move with power like BMW's are supposed to. What you guys know what is wrong with my BMW?

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

Yes, the overall procedure would be similar to what we show. Some details will differ, but you certainly could use the videos for basic instruction. the Bentley repair manual would give you specific details. We have them at bavauto.com.

@raulm41510 8 лет назад

I also removed the locking plate before putting it in the transmission, can that be the problem?

@bavarianautosport 11 лет назад

In general, yes, your procedures will be very similar.

@noahkalnas97 10 лет назад

I have a 2000 BMW 528i. I was driving in trafic and it feels like the clutches "sweet spot" changed after going up a steep hill with many many many stops and starts.

You may very well have put a lot of wear on an already worn clutch. Nothing you can really do about it until you are ready to install a new clutch.

@oneminutefixed5003 8 лет назад

been driving for months with a worn out clutch :\ i'll have to replace it in the next 2 months, my biggest concern (besides the cost) is whatever problems may arise when removing that piece, my mechanic said i possibly had an oil leak into the clutch and that caused the clutch do slide in higher rpm. In case of an oil leak, will the seals and gasket paste be enough to solve the problme?

@bavarianautosport 10 лет назад

tonycstech - The clutch disc should say either; engine side or transmission side, on one of the sides, someplace on the metal hub area. If you are using a German clutch, such as Sachs, this may be in German.

@maciejweber4256 11 лет назад

Can you please list all of those parts you have replaced? That would be kind.

@jesperk.n.e758 7 лет назад

well on my e34 a original dual-mass from bmw is twice the price compared to a jb-racing lightweight single-mass. be aware tough. a single mass may create ratle whiine like noises in low rpm on bigger engines like V8. something the dual-mass is supposed to eliminate

@nikoschatzinikolaou9975 9 лет назад

Hello! I have a VW golf V tsi 2006. Can you please help me regarding the following issue: Today i went to an enginner for my car in order to put out the oil pan, clean it and put some paste on it to avoid oil leaking. But he made a mistake because he put a screw in the wrong place and it came in contact with the flywheel. We figured it out after we start the engine and heared a squeaky sound. He moved the car a little bit in order to elevate it and to find what happened. (The good thing is that i didnt drive my car, just a little as i described above). My question is: Should i be worried if any damaged occured to the flywheel while it came in contact with the screw? Thank you in advance

Does the crankshaft position sensor need removing? Just got my 330d E46 back and it appears to be misfiring at high revs, juddering at high revs, chucking out clouds of black smoke when wide open throttle and also throwing the DDE light when hoofing in 3rd from low revs. I've tried everything else and now suspect the Crankshaft position sensor that wasn't removed during installation has got somewhat damaged? Also get mid section vibrations at low revs full throttle......

@volvot5turbo 11 лет назад

Is this necessary? Just had my flywheel done (E46 330D) and they didn't remove the sensor. Now I get dde light on, black smoke at high revs/WOT and juddering at high revs when this happens.......no codes on scanner though except for rail plausibility too high (too much fuel I suspect judging by black smoke). Tried everything else and now suspect timing is out. Tickover is fine though and normal driving appears ok. Slight vibration at tickover now (more like resonance). Thanks :-)

I just installed my clutch and slave cylinder on my 99 BMW 328i. I've took it apart and put it all back together a good 6 times due to a problem I keep having with the gears. It seems now that I installed the new Pivot ball, new slave cylinder, new clutch kit and new clutch arm fork, the car goes in gears when on my ramps, however as soon as I take the car off the ramp to drive it, the car wont go in gears. I made sure to bleed the line, and the reason why i took it apart 6 times was to make sure i installed the clutch the right way, made sure the bearing was able to move, the pivot ball clip spring wasn't holding down the fork arm and moving freely. I've been looking on line to see if anyone has had this same problem in hopes of finding some feedback or a solution but have been unsuccessful in my attempts of getting any info. Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong??

After clutch was burned out and vibrations were felt on clutch pedal, i have replaced Clutch and DMF. The Cluth kit and DMF were from LUK. The workshop who replaced the parts is specialized in replacing the clutches. After replacement, i can feel vibrations on clutch pedal and also foot area ONLY when car is moving. The workshop made test drive and said it is normal and nothing to do with clutch but for me it is not and uncomfortable :( One thing i noticed that engine is a bit loud and engine vibrations are more visible in engine room. How can i get rid of them? Thanks

@bavarianautosport 10 лет назад

Assuming that all of the parts installed were the correct parts, you likely have not properly or fully bled the hydraulic fluid for the slave cylinder and there is air in the hydraulic system. We do offer a special tool to properly bleed the slave cylinder. The tool comes with instructions. See the link below: blog.bavauto.com/3229/%E2%80%9Ci-did-it%E2%80%9D-bleeding-the-bmw-clutch/
