I can't thank you guys enough for this video. As an 18 year old I didn't feel like paying a shop 1500 bucks to do my clutch so I got down in my garage and am doing it myself. It's a 335xi and it's not easy but I'm just a few bolts away from getting the bell housing off. Pain in the ass getting the shifter out with a transfer case in the way but I'll figure it out I hope. Thanks again
How’d it go man? Four years later lol. Awesome to see a young guy even take a stab at it.
i need your help bud my transfer case is plugged out apparently cause awd to not work
Just did this yesterday on 335xi.Have done other BMWs and E90 was the hardest one so far. Super tight.
There is no need to remove cats or even open the hood...
First time I have ever wanted to be able to give more than one "thumbs up". Nicely done.
props for doing it on the floor ahah
Billy lockwood haha right? That's the way me and a friend always used to do it, we didn't have any fancy lifts or anything just the good old garage and some beer :)
stektirade atleast y’all got a garage I gotta do this on the street on the floor 🤦♂️
J408 on my kids, tell em! 🤣
@@SanJoseCA408 back in the we would pull motors on the street LOL good ol gravel on you're back
Glad to see someone with a BMW invested in a QuickJack.
"Open downpipe start up... cause YOLO" 😂😂😂 lol I did the same thing.
Neighbors Love Us haha
Came for a clutch diy, stayed for possessed shift shaft
Love this video!!! The car noises when you pulled off the shifter knob was hilarious. And the background applause when you got the trans off. Loved it all. THANK YOU FOR NOT PUTTING ANY RAP MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!! This video was informing, funny and very entertaining. I would love to know what those jacks on the side of the car were, and where did you get them???? Good to have friends who are willing to get down there with you and help. I bought my 335i with a spec stage 3+ clutch already in it, and already FBO down. But I'm watching as much content as possible to learn as much about my new car as I can, as there will be a time when I'm going to need to know. So thanks for making content to help all of the N54 gang...
Really nice. Was helpful for me. Did the job a few days ago. Horrible :D. Just a comment: Do not grease the shaft for the release bearing even with special grease. I had a call with SACHS because I just read it in the newtis instruction. The inner bearing is made of plastic and it could be that the grease (together with the clutch dust) is creating a non slippery surface and the shifting becomes difficult after a while. Just clean it and that's it.
Just in case metal is sliding on metal it's necessary to grease with special grease.
17:32 Although the entire walk through is a greate reference, and know what to look out for or expect. Be careful on this part as it does not apply to all cars that carry the N54. Some N54 cars the diamon which is the "high side" belong on the outside. So before you change your TOB, check to see first how it is installed before installing the new one. You will notice one side is larger than other for high or low. All N54 cars do not use the same transmission.
I’d have to invest 2k is parts before I can get started. Main thing holding me back. Feels bad
great video. just bought a 2011 335 6 speed manual and its got a stripped first gear that pops out at 1500rpm. trying to learn as much as i can i'm not a mechanic but hopefully my older brother and i can do this. video helps a lot !
My e46 5 speed only weighs like 70-80lbs. Easily got it out by myself
What happened to you guys! you could be UA-cam stars!
I'm glad you left the commentary in when you dropped the transmission. Hahaha thought I was the only one that talked that dirty to my car on a victory 😂😂😂
Seen a few of your videos, amazing! But there's something I don't get, where's the budget part? Most of your installs require tons of money :))
I guess you can say us doing the work ourselves is the budget part
Budget Bimmers Fair enough, the amount of time spent doing all these mods X labor price these days per hour = 💵💵💵💵💵💵
Your car sounds amazing and you're doing an amazing job guys, keep up the good work.
Hi all ... made sense install on off those racing clutchs un terms of durabilty, do they last significatily longer ir its just perfomance stuff? My car is stock and It will remain stock like i said, if It last longer because they can take more torque
So you guys are putting 700whp down through that clutch setup?
Is there a lot of rattle?
Def. SINGLE Mass Flywheel chatter
You guys are so funny! Pulling flywheel, it’s probably going to fall on my chest and break my ribs! 😂
It would be awesome if you put the link on a product you install under the video :) Great job man!
Don’t need to bleed the clutch?
Great video. You guys are funny!
Next time change the clutch fork pivot. I used a bronze one instead of the white plastic one that wears out.
Also did oil pan gasket and rear main seal. Glad you chose to use new flywheel bolts! Thumbs up!
Michael LeCompte bronze one will be good from ecs but the real way to go is an e39 stainless steel one.
a performance clutch and left the old plastic pivot?
I wish I could afford a '10 335i its one of the best cars I've ever driven
you deserve way more subs. prime content always. keep it up.
God, I'm tired just watching you guys work.
Great video.
love the vids man! great quilty,very informative,good music and editing!you dezerve 100000 subscribers!! im about to by a 2009 335i ,could you tell me what insurance cost
James Godsy I pay 260 per month for my 335 and a e36 m3. Full coverage on the 335
I have a 335i 2008 I live in NYC I paid 188 a month
One of your more technically tight videos, EXCELLENTLY done. Questions: Did you really need to pull both down pipes? Did you really need to yank the shifter? Almost forgot, how marked is the improvement in the lighter fly-wheel? Did it impact the (otherwise) smooth idle for example?
You got some torgue specs for the bell housing ? Aluminum screws?
I know i’ve got it bad when I watch this video and this job does not scare me at all
Hey, im doing my clutch next week and was wondering how you got everything to stop spinning. You said you had somebody holding the crankshaft, and i have no idea how you would go about doing that.
You don’t needa take the downpipes off you just take out o2 sensors
Thanks in advance for your video. Unfortunately I had a SPEC clutch failure and need to disassemble to repair it.I'm not satisfied because I had a failure in a short time. 70k km. i will watch your video carefully!
Major kudos - that is a monster of a job to carry out in your garage - awesome!
why did you guys decide to go with the mfactory over the spec flywheels?
Hey guys, Im making 570whp/510wtq on my 335i. I installed the Factory SMFW along with the 335is clutch when I bought the car, didn't think I would be making this much power with the car lol needless to say the 335is clutch is not holding up. You said Spec 3 clutch, and its springless plate. Why did you go with this set up? How is it holding up and how is the drivability? Thanks!
Alvaro Haesbaert Id probably rather it was a spring plate but it came springless. As for driveability it’s not as bad as you’d think, a little bit of studder taking off at lower rpm but not too bad. I wanted to make sure it could handle the power I plan on putting down
Got that Benny Hill Music 🎉 Great Content bro 😎
I'm afraid that wrong disc to single flywheel Mass, no springs to assorbe the impact?
no talk about replacing the rear main seal while you were in there?
You like the feel of the single mass flywheel? Does it feel good for normal daily driving?
hard work have payed , congratulation guys !
Just did this. Car won't engage and won't go into gear...
Same here... did you figure out the problem yet?
@@dhankins2012 we're did a few things.. doing more than one thing.. unfortunately I can't tell the exact fix.. but I think initially we jammed the pivot pin to far.. so I ordered another stainless steel one that fits the 8 series.. then we switched the throw out bearing to the high setting. The car drives. It engages.. the release point is somewhere around 80% back up on the clutch after coming back up... The clutch holds the power so far. I'm running fbo flex fuel and pure 600. I'm Happy the car runs but I do not like the clutch and spec just blames the install and not the product
j mp so I installed the stage 3 kit with the 6puck and lightweight flywheel. Wouldn’t engage while running. Dropped the trans again and put the stage 2 ceramic disc in (luckily I had a back up plan if one didn’t work). But the disc fits with the stage 3 LWFW and pressure plate. I’m 1000 miles after the install and it seems to be handling it fine
Awesome content guys, keep it coming! I just finished up my clutch swap last weekend, this video was key. I need your address so I can send a gold plated ball peen.
Thanks. I will be doing the same thing too. On a 335xi....
is it all the same step for changing the clutch on a 2008 335xi
You guys need to come back to making videos
I may sound stupid but mine has a flywheel like your stock one you took off and a self adjusting clutch. The liner wont go in because that stud in the middle of the flywheel . Do you no another way of doing it?
Been a while but what you think about this clutch. You still running it.
Did u guys use the throw out bearing that came with the spec kit or did you use the OEM one...
Hey man would you happen to have the part number for the flywheel? Looking to install a stage 3 clutch kit just need the right flywheel
You guys didnt swap out the pilot bearing?
Hi my friends I my name is awais .I watched you all video I like it .and my question is can we try to install turbo in BMW 320i m sport convertible 2.0 .2007. ???????
How many hours did this take from start to finish? I'm considering doing it on my own thanks to this video!
Legendary
I’m in uk England,I’m gonna try doing mine next mouth as it’s started to slip,bmw wants way to much to do it,how many hours did this job take start to finish,
Hey man I'm installing my stage 3+ clutch soon , I was wandering with my clutch a paper came in saying I have to install my throw out bearing in some low or high position what did you do about that??
Where is the "spin " on the pressureplate ?
lol i know the feeling when u get it in i did a few g35s,g37s, and zs on the floor like this
Budget Bimmers. Do you guys know the torque specs for the bellhousing bolts Or did you guys just make them snug
12:57 Incredible.
Nice job nice vids.keep it up guys.helps me a lot.very informative
Can I find a kit like that for my 328i 07 coupe e92?
I got a 325d recently bought i wabt to replace the clutch because i want to tune it up to 300+ hp. What is a good afortable clutch ? And is dual mass a option ?
excellent vid - I need to do this soon
Nice vid! Do you have any chatter problems with the single mass flywheel?
Brad Vuv most likely,it's not too uncommon with a single
nice vid. I did this job a while back on my e92 335..I always do everything on my own as far as mechanical work...right now I'm having miss fire issues for the 2nd time.. my next job is rebuilding the injectors.. does any know if I can rent the tool to put the seals on the injectors?..
Pleco Dude I actually had to buy the tool from ECS when I did my injectors a month ago . Most dealers dont lend or sell them unfortunately.
Did those new bolts came with the flywheel or did u have to order them separately. My MFactory flywheel didn’t come with any bolts...where’d u order them?
I just bought a 05 335i where can i go to find some good literature and dyi's?
Replacing the clutch on the 335xi n55, would you have near or close access to the turbo and would it make sense to replace (upgrade) the turbo while replacing the clutch or would they be completely separate jobs?
Did you have too unplug the post cat o2 sensors?
If i push my clutch in there is a lot of pressure but the clutch wont release at all any one ever have this problem?
You should've change the main seal !
True Review if its not leaking, dont change it
J P it's right there, change it
@@geo745don Do you know what you have to do to change a main seal on this engine? It's like an inch and a half thick inside and you need a $250 special tool. They don't leak.
rsx123 of course they leak, mines leaked had to use additive after oil change and it stop leak. No more oil on driveway. Additive name is Bars rear main seal repair. When I change clutch I'll change seal
Can I reuse the bellhousing bolts cause they're still fairly new and look good still?
Isaac Romero the steel ones yes the aluminum ones no the aluminum are one time use and stretch when torqued the first time.
Hi, what brand is the downpipe? And nice video very helpfull!
9:13 look at that finger action :D
can you share a link to your jack? overview would be also interesting.
Anton Shishkov quickjack pelicanparts.com
What kind of jacks are you using? may you please post a description
kiwi ssennyonjo quickjack hydraulic lift, worth every penny!
A single mass flywheel and an unsprung clutch? Must not be very smooth to drive around town...
Is it the same process for the f30 335i??
Very helpful video thank you 🙏🏽
What are those stands you are using in this video?
Holy crap guys!! Good work!!!
I can't belive how big those flywheels are!! I just switched my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT-V6 to a single mass! seems to function better than dual mass. More affordable too!!
Is that a 16lb or 21lb m factory flywheel?
Whats the part number of that transmission pls ?
hi guys i have a question, i am running cobb tuning stg2+ and pushing roughly 420hp and 400 ft/lb and my clutch gave out. i really want to install spec stg3 clutch, will it work? or will it only work best with over 500whp? i mean i know it will work but will it the best option for me? i really want to get the best performance for w.e i have. Thank you
hi, remember which was the cost? how much? thanks...
Didn't replace rear main?
you should have done the rear main seal..... :P
What short throw did you go with?
hello guys a greetings from Spain, what brand is and what price has that clutch kit
what shifter is that?
How has it held up
Great videos I'm over here day dreaming of owning a n 54 I'll get thier though in the meanwhile I'm I'm driving the 2006 e90 ....any opinions on how I can get a little hp obviously I'm not gonna go lightning quick just want a faster take off
Jonatan Miranda just get a n54 lol. No other real way. Maybe intake exhaust?? Or trade it in / sell it man. These n54 cars are really cheap now. Cheap to buy but make sure you can actually afford owning the car
Luis Zuniga I heard you can push them up to the 830 ish hp range is this true??
What jack is that
I was checking and apparently you need this specific $500 alignment tool besides the one that comes with the clutch kit.... I see you guys didn't use it. You guys have any issues? Know about that tool?
Bilal that’s most likely not true, the one that came with the clutch works fine
Budget Bimmers thanks man, I watched like 4 videos no one used anything special but what came with it.
Really like it
Is this for a manual or automatic?
bruuh do u have an link where u you bought the flywheel and clutch / pressure plate, have an 335i as drift car in norway. need a single mass flywheel and the engine is out atm XD please do contact me in dm, u got some awesome video!
nice job!
bro can you send me the link for the fly wheel please!!
@13:00 lmaoooo the neutral wobble 💀😂😂
do you by any chance know if that single mass will cause shatter noise?
Erick Gomez yes it does have some chatter at idle now, we may raise the idle to try and make it quieter.
Budget Bimmers thanks for the reply, I want to go single mass but hate the chatter sound. Last question is the noise bearable at all?
I have a Spec clutch and Spec sluminum SMFW on my MMP stg3 N54 e90 XI and it does chatter at idle. If you don't like the chatter, raise the idle as stated above or just hold the clutch in (noise goes away completely) at red lights.
