RARE BMW X5 Refresh: Clutch and Flywheel Replacement!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лис 2020
- I had the pleasure of refreshing this rare 2001 BMW X5 3.0 5 speed manual. There were less than 5000 of these manual X5s brought to the US and even less 3.0. Some may consider this a unicorn car! We refreshed all of the suspension and in this video we replaced the clutch and flywheel. With the transmission removed we replaced the shift rod seal, input and output shaft seal, all of the shift detents, fixed the fifth gear lean, and replaced the transfer case mount. We give a general overview on replacing the clutch and flywheel on this 5 speed manual BMW, but this is not a full tutorial on the procedure.

My E32 has been mine for what will be 15 years this December. Proud owner of 1988 BMW 750iL. Glad to see these older cars getting love instead of scrapped. These first two generations of X5 are largely loved by fans (E53 and E70).
These are mechanically similar to the BMW e39 cars.
Nice content. Haven't been seeing videos like this for a long time. I subscribe to your channel way back when you where in cali. I have that same x5 with manual which I was in love with. Haven't driven it in 2 years. Still runs nice and had a lot of fun in it. Been thinking of getting rid of it since life won't let me work on it. Wife been telling me to get rid of it but I can let go. Took me 2 years to find it manual and had it for 8 years now. This video I click on accident and now u inspired me to bring it back. Im in Cali. And it was always a dream to put a TS supercharger and before money was issue. Now money is there but no time. Thank you for the content really appreciated and know that a simple how to video inspired me to bring my SAV back on the road.
Good to see you back on the channel I thought I lost you
I have a 01 BMW X5 with manual transmission and an 00 BMW E39 528 wagon. I saw your video manual swap for the E39. Nice job. Subscribed.
Nice work, love your videos bro!
Just did this today on my 500$ e39 5mt project this afternoon. Not a bad job at all when you have a lift
Nice idea for Clutch alignment Tool, back in my day 1980/90s we had to find/use a dummy shaft
I was lucky enough to drive a X5 Sports V8 for a while as a ex GF had one
Wow, that's a rare one indeed. That's big maintenance guys! Putting back that gearbox was a real pain in the backside, brother and sister ;-) . Dutch regards, Nico.
love my e53
I just bought one, 01 x5 manual 129k miles 1 owner, needs new clutch kit as well.
Me too..... Doing clutch today.
Jason, you make everything look easy....... That was tricky - pulling that out the Transmission and putting it back in without removing the exhaust - that was Awesome!..........I am sure Calif. Cars have less rust because of No Snow in most parts and dry climate, no humidity compared to East Coast. But you have to admit, for an almost 20 yrs East Coast Vehicle, there is very little rust....
Haha the editing makes it look easy! I definitely overreacted on the little rust that the X5 has, I have seen and worked on much worse. Cali cars are definitely a treat unless they were parked next to the shore most of their life.
After doing the same thing on my toyota tacoma, I vowed to always place the transmission in first gear before removing. That way, when mating it back up again, all I have to do to get the splines to engage with the flywheel is to turn the output shaft. I tried 6 times before using this trick. I was at wit's end.
Yep 👍
Fantastic DIY. You guys inspired hundreds, if not thousands of folks, to properly do their own work.
What are your thoughts heating rusted bolts to help removal?
Razor Rich Heat I suppose.
Nice explain sir
All the same is needed for my 325is.
enjoy the ultimate drive
Thanks for the videos, I have a 1999 323ci and I'm trying to release the diaphragm springs with that star tool that's provided but nothing is moving, can you give me any advice please.
My dad love you videos
, the M52 has an additional vacuum line attached to the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Has any one done a catch can on an m52? If so, how did you tie in the Fuel Pressure Regulator vacuum line
I'll have to redo the clutch in my BMW X5 also it has a rear main seal leak causing clutch to slip did you have to remove the starter? to get the manual transmission gearbox out? Also do you know the torque specs for the flywheel or they left handed or right handed threads I know all my truck I think best I can remember you have to turn them to the right to loosen that would be horrible to break the bolts
Hi! When you release the locking plate on the pressure plate, is the clutch disk clamped down tightly? When I bolted down the pressure plate, torqued to spec, removed the SAC locking plate, removed the alignment tool, the clutch disk was not 100% clamped down. There was still play as I can move it up and down and side to side. Is this normal? I think not but wanted to check with you who have way more knowledge than I do. My intuition tells me that the pressure plate should be clamped down as if the clutch is engaged.
Cool X5 stuff, channel followed :) E53
Could this become the next classic?
@BASITH PH No way. The X5 was based on the Landrover. It wasn't BMW's finest hour.
@@louvendran7273 these e53 cars with the m57d30 are awesome too bad the states never got them
Unfortunately they suffer from rust especially on rear tailgate and door bottom edge like usual bmws of this generation
Hope you marked those props so they go back In the same place.
Your X5 must be a later model because its using a duel mass flywheel.. Mine is UK 2002 and uses a std clutch and single flywheel.
you should do a video on Xi service for the front driveshaft and axles. Haven't seen any good videos covering it
Yeah he's going to go find a Xi and buy those parts just so you can see how it's done, that sounds real logical.
@@brucelee9941 its almost like his entire channel is based off of servicing cars and uploading tutorials on them. you cannot be this dense are you serious right now
I saw an x3 6 speed manual with s54 swap for sale.. man do i wish i picked it up everything worked and he was only asking 8k
That’s a great swap! I think the ticket for one of these E53 X5s is an E39 M5 swap into an is model. Would be fun to do the whole “what if BMW offered the X5 M in the first generation” concept.
you missed out huge bro im so sorry
Does the Tcase mount need to be positioned in a certain way or just bolt it up and go?
Hi There Ankur.
Greetings From South Africa.
Ankur i really enjoy your channel and vids its really entertaining and i have learned a couple of things from you.
Would you mind giving me some advice on doing a M52TUB28 Dual Vanos swap on my 2000 318i 4 Cylinder 8 valve
(M43B19)
And also some advise on a M54B30 swap.
From trans to rear ends to wiring and some crucial ods and ends
The vehicle is daily runner. And everything should work and function like from the factory.
Thanks Ankur
Greetings from half way across the globe.
M54B30? Thats a good motor! :D
Make a video on airbag to coil swap on x5. Is it worth it?
When you torqued the bolts on flywheel did it spin freely. Mine seems locked up. Tried to rotate the engine via crank pulley on front without clutch and trans connected still won't spin. The car did sit for a while. So im thinking is froze /locked up. But why would I be able to start in neutral if that be the case. So confused. Don't want to continue with install untill I find out for sure. Most research I've done shows everyone having to lock down flywheel to torque those bolts. Not this. One though. No matter the amount of torque
Any reason to use a Valeo clutch? Does it approve in the long term?
Did you use a torque wrench to check clutch bolts??
Hi from dubai. Is x5 2008 ,4.8i. A reliable car. Whats the common problems like. It has done 226k km
Hey guys, about to do a clutch job on my 6spd manual N52 X3, do you know how much different that will be than this? There's basically zero information online, as the manual X3s are extremely rare..
I can't even find anything about related models. It seems 90% of the x drive models are automatic
Hello! where can I get suck a clutch alignment tool? Thank you!
Alguien que me pudiera dar info, estoy pensando en hacer mi x5 4.4 manual, pero me gustaría dejarla 4x4 y pensé en este tipo de transmisión del motor 3.0
Hey bro is there any way you can guide me into knowing what went wrong on my X5. The car was in good shape I took it to a wack mechanic to get my axles replaced and when he called me to pick up my car I drove it for a bit and then my drive shaft broke off literally bend and broke off the front diff my transfer case cracked and the car turns on but it won’t drive I recently bought a new tranfer case and drive shaft but the car still won’t catch gears ⚙️ it’s as if it in neautral please help bro. I’m about to buy a transmission hopefully that works
Donde tienes tu taller ..quiero que repares My BMW e46 328i 1999 .. yo vivo en Virginia state
Have you guys ever manual swapped a e53 X5?
I’ve seen on for sale with 145000 kms
How can I contact you to take my 325ci for a diagnostic and repair? Please help
That non sponsor plug was nice
I’ve got one blue with black leather 01 5spd manual transmission
Just listed it for sale !
Sounds like you need a torch, bro
love you bro
Would’ve been cool if you two collabed together!
Haha, I torched the bolt that broke with MAP first. Definitely need to get an oxy torch for my next project!
@@ShopLifeTV
Get a power hacksaw or a mini grinder. I never mess with those Rusty exhaust bolts
Are you guys still in California... so i know where to come to with my BMW
No they moved back to North Carolina like about a year ago
How much time in hours it takes to do this job?
Anyone know how to get that read end part of the drive shaft out? Working on one rn. Can’t get the back side free and can’t see what he’s prying against
Rear*
No mention of front drive shaft issues on these cars. The front shaft has only about half inch at best spline engagement into the transfer case and they strip out causing instant stop, not good and expensive.to repair. I removed my driveshaft, checked, greased splines and reinstalled with fingers crossed. Slightly longer shafts are available but if you strip out the internal transfer case splines you're in the $hit big time!
I have the same car same color
Happy diwali ✨
Happy Diwali and New Year!
Are the bell housing bolts reusable?
These weren't aluminum so yes.
Is it possible I can have you work on my wife BMW 1999 323i??? Shop life how do I go about acquiring your services
This is automatic transmission or manual transmission
???
I just bought an E53 3.0 manual!!!!
Congratulations!
@@ShopLifeTV Thanks!! I also have a 325i e46 that I have completed a manual swap with inspiration and guidance from your channel! Keep up with the great videos!

@@johnnygandy3931 Lol. Search "TheHypeHouse" on TickTock. Most of the creators are making 6 figure check$ just for social media jokes.

Lol, I know I overreacted. I have seen much worse!
I wish I knew what you know so bad 😭
Lifetime is a legal weasel word.
Music choice.....smoove
Always use heat to remove those rusted bolts !!
Just cut rusted exhaust bolts off, right away. Dont waste HOURS getting unusable bolts off!
bruh you need REAL tools, like I know tools dont really make the tech but still its your business you should invest in some quality
