tire 10 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Im looking for the right part number for the release bearing for my g240 that came from a 323i and is going into my 323i (both e30s). I notice the number changes in 03/1984 from 21511204525 to 21517521471 . What I want to know is, do the measurements of the bearing itself change or am I right with either one? My cars an 83, the car the gbox came from is year unknown, but obviously pfl. The gbox # is 2400046090 I cant get the numbers off the old bearing cause its gooone. If no one knows, im just going to go with the latter 21517521471 one, I've got a good feeling about it Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know which bearing suits that box but they definitely use different release bearings after 3/84. I can probably find either drawings or photos if this would help.

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Pretty sure a 323i never came standard with a g240. Either way if you are using standard single mass flywheel with the standard clutch kit, they should be the same (possibly a revision of design or something). Why not replace the entire clutch kit, that would you get the right thrust bearing for the clutch plate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The clutch Pressure/Cover plate is also different from 3/84, so complete kit would probably resolve any conflicts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Mhmm unfortunately we dont know the year of the car it came from. Hell I get cost price at my parts place so I might even get both and use the one that fits. Frantic, I too thought 323s never came with 240s but this was definitely on the back of a 2.3. Wierd huh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 All 323i have a getrag 260. But the 240 should bolt up and it doesnt matter if it a f/l or pre/fl gearbox because it dosnt have the flywheel sensors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrantiC Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Maybe someone changed it, who knows. i would still get a clutch-kit anyways "while your there", if your thrust bearings out chances are your clutch must have quite a few k's on it, be pointless not to change it all really and that way it saves you spending like $125 each on thrust bearings or whatever the pirce is these days (when a clutch kit can be had for ~$330 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
