what clutch for my 2.7 converiosn?

[liam012]

hi - a friend of mine works in a garage and can get me a sachs clutch kit at cost - does anyone know what clutch would be be the best to get - i'll be running a 2.7 block 2.0 flywheel and 2.5 gearbox. do i just ask for the e28 525e clutch kit?

standard clutches can take alot of grief

[liam012]

thnks i had heard that but i dont know if i will have problem fitting say a e28 325e clutch or e30 325i or e30 320i clutch? i just want the thickest that'll fit!

[m-dtech]

they are the same are they not ?

m20 - gertag gearbox

[liam012]

well i am certain the engine is m20 - i dont think the gearbox goes by the m20 code though and i know the 2.0 and 2.5 sport gearboxs are different as i had to buy one for this convrsion - i am wonderiung will the fact i will be running a 2.0 flywheel affect what clucth to get? maybe a hybrid setup is needed?

A standard 325i clutch will suffice, the 320i clutch is the same diameter but with less clamping force.

The 525e was always auto hence no clutch kit available.

Std clutches are very strong, mines holding up well with a few more ponies than a 2.7 will ever develop

You can get 3/4/6 puck clutches in the US pretty cheap if you fancied one.

HTH, Mark.
