OK -- Currently slipping clutch in 335i (NO ADDS)
.
.
I have always been easy on this car -- prior owner was not.
.
.
At 57 k I have slipping when agressive accell in 5th gear.
.
.
So if it is down hill from here should I go UUT / ACT or OEM
.
.
Like the Idea of greater clamping force but not the added pedal force.
.
Do I replace flywheel / TO Bearings / OTHERS .

What is the best regardless of price

BEST = DAILY DRIVER BEST

Upgrade to ACT street clutch good for up to 440 Ftlbs ..its a very good DD driving clutch and gives you the ability to add power down the line w/o fear of slippage.

I can tell u at 20K miles full bolt on w my race gas map I get some slippage..the oem clutch cant take the extra torque from me being tuned.

Dealer wants nearly 2500.00 to replace clutch --- local BMW indy says about 1600.00 & both only want to install OEM.

No way I am going to the dealership ---

Dealer Drops Price

YES -- Original Quote was $1200.00 for Parts - DISK, Plate, Release, Pilot Bearing and Replacement Bolts -- down to $450.00 .

That is cheaper than Tischer (I think both are REMF'D Parts)
.
.
They would not lower the labor hours at 10hrs ($109.00 per).
.
.
$1600.00 Out the door --- I really wanted the UUC or ACT but at this price and a 2yr warrranty on parts 1yr Labor --- I just could not pass this up.
.
.
3 other local INDY's were in the $1600.00 ballpark with only 1yr parts.
.
.
Not planning to run boost mods so should be good for a long time. This car was CPO at 30K --- I want to thank the prior owner for trashing the CLUTCH.
.
.
.
Car goes in on the 22nd for R&R.
.
I am excited about the new clutch and the throwout bearing replacement which should eliminate that anoying jittery sound - I think many clutch owners have experienced.

Will report after replacement for the 1% here who are interested.

should have broken out the tools and DIY!

The good part (if there is one) you will know the history on your clutch.

Well with CPO - I was a little concerned about "What if I screw somthing UP"
.
I have done rotors and pads, basic oil and tranny fluid, even a timining belt change on my prior 1.8T, engine mounts, thermostat, 02 sensor, -- I just did not want to take the risk. I am more of Spark Plug and OIL Change guy & leave the bigger task to dealership --- at least till the end of the CPO cap.

If you subract the cost of the parts and the need for a trans jack , alignment tool and jacks I would have to buy -- we are talking about an 800.00 savings and no warranty.

.
Thinking of DIY on strut replacement this spring.
