rds 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Been looking for a new high performance clutch for me Getrag 260, http://www.gripforce.com/ stocks a F1 Racing Stage 3 Clutch Kit BMW 325 (84-92) # This complete clutch kit includes: F1 Racing Stage 3 Heavy-Duty Pressure Plate # F1 Racing Stage 3 Copper Ceramic 6-puck Disc (225mm, 10 spline) # Release Bearing # Pilot Bearing # Alignment Tool # Installation Guide The sales person for gripforce cant tell me if this fits, and im stuggling to find any decent info online about it. I read that 323 & 325 clutches are normally 228mm. Can someone PLEASE help, because i would like to purchase this if it fits. (p.s. the reason im getting such a clutch is that there is a turbo in-waiting) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 From what I read in there I would say you'll be fine. I'd get the flywheel lightened as well I hope youve driven a puk clutch before....not the nicest for driving round town Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiB 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 If it helps, I'm using all the manual bits from a 323i on my PFL 325i. Doesn't seem to have any differences apart from flywheel and g/box sensors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted April 28, 2009 That's pretty cheap and pretty much exactly what I was after, I tried to order it but it wouldn't let me get through the shipping stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rds 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Yea they are pretty cheap, althou they are charging $140US for postage via the USPS. They use UPS by default and the price was $250US. I think im paying 650 all up to the door. Which is alright! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So thats $314USD, Which should be like $550NZD to your door which I think is a very good price (considering I was about to buy an exedy clutch for $470+GST but it was only a stock one, was heasitant as I am going turbo with my m20.) Good find btw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rds 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2009 Yea the lsd centres probably fit in the stardard price large box. These clutches apparently dont fit in that box. Seems like hes ripped me of 30US!!!1 but I need this clutch in NZ before I put the engine in the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mines already on it's way from last thursday, Should be here by the end of this week. I need mine so I can get my gearbox in and get the car of jack stands finally.. Though not sure if I wanna keep my 8.8lbs flywheel or sell / trade it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
