O

Flywheel and pressure plate components are supplied fully balanced and are ready for installation. Kits include all necessary installation hardware and installation instructions. A stock throw-out bearing (TOB) should be used and must be purchased separately. Pressure Plates are Sachs HD “Sports” components and are available in E36 and E46/E39 configurations. Both feature increased clamping pressure, heavy duty rivets and beefed-up straps for additional power-handling capacity. Additionally, the E36 pressure plate features “captured” rivets and straps while the E46/E39 component a Non-SAC design.

General Description
Clutch Discs are available in either RIGID, or SPRUNG hub configuration with ORGANIC “Race Linings”, or with a “Puck-Style” SINTERED METALLIC friction lining which has a more aggressive engagement characteristic, but offers an increased engine torque rating necessary for many “tuned” applications.

Organic-Lined Clutch Discs- are constructed with Sachs special organic "race linings” to provide increased grip and power handling capacity over the OE clutch, while retaining near-stock clutch engagement characteristics. Sprung-hub Clutch Disc provides dampening necessary to minimize potential transmission noise caused by engine harmonics. Organic-Lined Clutch kits offered are rated at 350 and 420 ft/lbs. of peak engine torque depending upon the specific components.

Sintered Metallic Puck Clutch Discs- these clutch kits are designed to handle the increased power of most naturally aspirated “tuned”, and “moderate” forced-induction applications. These clutch discs will have a more aggressive engagement and are suitable for competition track/autocross/endurance applications where positive clutch engagement is of high importance. HD Sintered Metallic Puck clutch kits are rated at 415 and 495 ft/lbs. of peak engine torque depending upon the specific components. (Please call for any applications which exceed this level – for Track only applications, please see our ULTRA-LITE Flywheel/Clutch Kits).

New E39 540i and M5 Semi-Custom Flywheel and Performance Clutch Kits

These V-8 powered cars have suffered with a marginal OE 240mm clutch from the outset and when "tuned" for additional performance, the OEM clutch is simply not up to the task of handling the additional power. We have designed two(2) special flywheels to accept the larger 280mm clutch compontnts from the 850Csi which provides additional power handling capacity while maintaining near normal clutch engagement and drivability.

These pre-engineered flywheel/clutch kits are supplied complete with one of our "semi-custom" lightweight aluminum flywheels, an organic-lined 280mm sprung-hub clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, alignment tool, and a larger displacement clutch slave cylinder. The flywheels weigh 16.0 lbs (approximately 3 lbs. more than our OEM replacement aluminum flywheel), which coupled with the sprung-hub clutch disc assists in minimizing potential transmission noise.
