Clutch kit to use for M52 engine swap

[Ch4ni]

Hi, I am doing an M52 engine swap, using M20 solid flywheel and can I use the Sachs Clutch kit (3000 002 008) from E21 323i ?

I have read many posts saying to use M20 clutch kit and clutch release bearing from E21 323i, hence my question if I can use the whole kit from E21 323i?

Thx,

Depends on what gearbox your using.

I have seen this and this does not detail what release bearing to use. It details to use 325i clutch and pressure plate and no mention of the release bearing.

I would like know if I can use the complete E21 323i clutch kit?

i used m20 lightened flywheel, luk clutch pressure plate and release bearing
to make up for the shorter (5mm) release bearing i welded a 5mm lump onto the throw out arm
initially it seemed like like the clutch was just biting with the pedal pushed to the floor but after a week or so it came right (as id read on an american forum) been great ever since
dispite my worries about the luk clutch not up to the job
