thick or thin large washer
Hello,
I am replacing the autobox with a manual box tomorrow. There is a larger washer (6 bolt holes) which is attached to the flywheel/flexiplate. Do I need a thick or thin washer for a manual convo?
Cheers

complete clutch kits the same?
Hi,
I am doing a auto to manual convo. I have everything but the clutch kit. Do you know if the 323i is the same kit as the 325i ?
I noted GFS sells them and the part number is the same. There are some kits of ebay for half the price but it says 323i kit.
Many thanks
Martin
