did my first cluch job on my 2003 525i 5 speed, ended up putting the clutch on backwards and when to start the engine and the guide sleeve instantly welded itself to the clutch. it took 4 5 foot crowbars to bust the newly welded piece of trans and clutch back out. Safe to say I will never ever make that mistake again.
You can get a full 6 speed clutch kit from clutch max with the 6 puck for $400. Its actually cheaper than the 5 speed equivalent, I did my 6 speed swap a few months ago so I have actually had both clutches lol.
Thanks for posting dude. I enjoy it. I got a 99 323i blk 5 speed. Stock drive tran for now. Blk on blk slow as fuck but got 10k in suspension & wheels and reinforcement parts. Haven't done any drive tran yet. And watching your videos is very helpful in picking a direction. Originally was going to ls swap it 5 years ago. Still haven't. Kinda want to say bmw stuff. U da man!
Really would be better off doing a LS swap. If you had a 3.0 M54 I would suggest headers, m50 intake manifold, some little tricks and a tune. M54b25 really isn't worth to mod imo. Can sell it for the price pay for a 5.3 or 6.0 in junkyard. Then if you want to turbo down the road you can throw some good boost at it stock and be way more reliable not to mention way more fun. 🤙
Where did you get just the clutch disk? I have the eBay 5 speed for my e39 and I have a 6 speed sitting in the garage from a previous car. I’d like to put the 6 speed in it. Oddly enough, I bought an e39 bumper from you a couple years ago. Small world 😂

I have done this before but I had a bearing adapter custom machined and it fits the smaller 6speed rollerbearing instead, still works fine.
As I’m saving an extra $1k to order a kit for my 6-speed, thanks!
This video was 🔥

Love it 🤙🏼
Nice. So this should work with a twin disc too, right? So I could use the hopwood twin disk in a 6 speed zf?

You can buy just the disc for like $60 from clutch max. Glad you found my channel 😂
Where can I get the complete clutch kit? With the 23 tooth splines and everything else needed?
Can you put the link to the throw bearing adapter in the video description please?
Added. Sorry about that
So is it a 5 speed clutch kit with 6 speed clutch? The ZF5 is 15 spline and ZF6 is 23 spline.
Does the kit you put on that zhp chatter pretty bad?
Its a single mass so yes its going to have some chatter at idle
