How hard to swap clutch out? 95 525i
Going to go with the UUC E34 M5 Clutch setup...stock clutch is slipping at 109k and I have to make a long damn trip next weekend.
I need some serious help on this one, never changed a clutch before and I don't know if I can get a pro to help me before next Friday.
Also, if there are any parts other than flywheel/press plate, TO bearing, and clutch disk that I should be changing when I rip this thing apart, somebody please let me know :)
Its not really any of my business but don't you think that thats a
bit of overkill ? using the uuc flywheel and the m5 clutch kit? Its 500 for the flywheel and you'll probably spend around 300 for the m5 clutch parts or more, I don't know the price on the clutch kit... I can think of a whole lot of things to spend 800 on instead... I would probably go with a stock clutch myself since yours lasted 100k already. As far as changing it out goes , its fairly difficult for a first timer. And it will go a lot easier with a helper.
For your first one plan on spending a whole day on it.

Thanks Ed- That's perfect...and nice slide show!
I'll take the clutch disk to AutoZone...see if I can grab one.
Thanks again Ed, you're saving my butt on this one :)

I dont think a uuc m5 clutch will do anything at all for your resale price.....
it may make a tiny difference or make the difference between your car another car with the original clutch...You wont get your money back.I am with Bill ....get a stock clutch
