is it model specific or is it from another model? Im tyring to see if I can put together a kit myself than paying the $1900 that euro depot wants. I figure I can cut costs by just swapping in the brake and clutch pedals and see if gale would make me a bracket for the clutch return spriung. getting new clutch hydraulics and lines. We sell the steel braided hoses at work which I can probly get for cheap made by russel. does anyone have a diagram of the hydraulic plumbing for the master and slave cyninders? of course I would get a brand new slave cylinder and master cyl for the clutch. I would install a lightweight flywheel at the same time because the stock dual mass one is expensive and hard to come by so screw that.
Which clutch would I use? the one for a 540i or a 530i? The diameters are different arent they? But in theory the 530i and 540i both use the same block so the tranny will bolt up.
Well I know someone on here has swapped a 5-speed gearbox into their 540i and hopefully that member will see my post and give me a hand. This job cant be that hard and reading gale's writeup it looks no harder than just dropping a tranny and replacing it with a 5-speed.
