What clutch? Please help !

[Jonesy_325iS]

My clutch is about gone! Badly!

Thinking about upgrading it rather than just getting a standard bmw one put on

Any suggestions which kit to get and where from?

Cheers people

The standard BMW one is as good as you get or need without going to a paddle friction plate that you'd anly need if you were going serious racing. And the next step byond that is the multiplate type but they are Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£

i think the standard ones are the best......i havent changed my Auto's one since new...can that be right or am i smoking the good shit????

[Widge]

Would that be because an auto doesn't have a clutch?

[Jhonno]

auto's do have clutches iirc

they dont wear hardly tho due to the auto box knowing how to change gear properly maximising the clutch life if you see what i mean

[Hyperion]

now im confused, so my car has a clutch and that means its got a 14 year old clutch??!?!, because i cant remember it ever being changed

[Jhonno]

auto's rarely if ever need the clutch changing

[Jonesy_325iS]

ok standard it is then!

Now how about brakes? oz av just been for a good drive n they about gone too!

full kits btw

[Widge]

Ahheemmmm - the ZF auto transmission in an E30 auto (IIRC) has a torque converter. I would gos as far as sayin very few autos actually have clutches in the normal sense of the word, although there have been many types of auto gear box over the years. Although having said this an auto box does have lots of little clutches and brake bands inside it which rarely wear out, unless it's mistreated in which cas the boxes just tend to give up.



And for brakes - Green stuff are good - but expensive - I'd go for Pagid fast road pads from GFS and standard OEM disks.
