This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. That's where the flywheel comes in. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance. Lightweight Aluminum flywheel replaces stock dual-mass flywheel. It's an important component of the power train, because without that flywheel, your engine wouldn't last very long. The clutch behaves the same as it originally did - just with better throttle response and more power! This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches.
In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response. As a result they have become bloated in weight and that means more energy is used up just making the flywheel spin. Do not remove the shipping plate before the pressure plate and disc are installed on the flywheel. Without the additional mass, more energy can be diverted to where it counts most - moving the car. If the plate is removed prematurely, the clutch will self-adjust and become unusable.
Will also fit 3-'03-up short imput shaft 6-spd. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. With a single-mass design more noise and vibration may be noticeable. The weight difference between an aluminum and steel flywheel is huge - sometimes more than 50% less. With a single-mass design more noise and vibration may be noticeable. Note:Flywheel includes ring gear with the required ignition trigger for Motronics Ignition System. In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response.
Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. Instead of just two sets of springs, there is an adjuster mechanism that makes engagement feel mushy or slow. The weight difference between an aluminum and steel flywheel is huge - sometimes more than 50% less. Extreme care must be used when driving on to trailers and around the paddock. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance.
There is a driving adjustment required to get used to how much faster the engine revs but that's not really a downside. With the engine spinning easier the power band comes up much sooner. If the plate is removed prematurely, the clutch will self-adjust and become unusable. The clutch behaves the same as it originally did - just with better throttle response and more power! A 3-disc setup is less susceptible to heat and will have a higher torque capacity. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. There is a driving adjustment required to get used to how much faster the engine revs but that's not really a downside.
Will also accept many aftermarket sprung-hub clutch discs. Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. The weight difference between an aluminum and steel flywheel is huge - sometimes more than 50% less. Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. As a result they have become bloated in weight and that means more energy is used up just making the flywheel spin. The clutch behaves the same as it originally did - just with better throttle response and more power! On our M54-powered 325i Touring Cars approximately 300hp we used the 5. Stage1 Performance Organic is ideal for street use and light track use.
The stock flywheel weights 19. Some people have a special tool to do it, some people try to pry it out with a screwdriver don't do this , and then some people use a slide hammer. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. Provides improved throttle response and increased performance. Even though the official replacement interval is with every other clutch job, it's not uncommon to have to replace the flywheel with every new clutch. There are steps you can take to minimize the noise - heavier weight transmission oil and clutch discs with anti-rattle springs sprung-hub clutch.
The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance. The flywheel and clutch is one of the first areas that engine builders address when making the rotating assembly lighter for race engines. This flywheel requires the E34 M5 sprung hub clutch kit. The steel helps dampen vibration and noise so you get near-factory refinement and most of the benefits of a lightweight flywheel: quicker throttle response, better reliability, and more power to the wheels. A properly adjusted clutch stop is required for use with this clutch kit. Do not remove the shipping plate before the pressure plate and disc are installed on the flywheel.
