Hi all
i put a m52b28 into my e30 2 years ago but its just been stood doing nothing but iv got time now and iv started to get it back into good condition :D but iv got a problem i need help on please im running the 328i gearbox with a m20 clutch and flywheel but the slave cylinder keeps spitting the pin out every time i try and bleed it up (im using the 328i slave) so im guessing the pin is to short because in not running the duel mass? what slave cylinders have other people used or is the any way i can get round this?

The pin shouldn't be popping out if it's an e36 slave on an e36 box,
Are you 100% sure it's the e36 slave your using and you havnt got the e30 one in there by mistake?

+1

I´m running a M52B28 with a M20 flywheel and pressure plate,
e36 release bearing, e36 gearbox and e36 slave with a lengthend pin. roughly 15mm longer then the e36 one
With great challenges comes great engineering.

I suspect Gunni welded 15mm of metal to the end of it
