Recommended Posts

Is there any way to adjust the bite point on my e36 97 m3 evo?

Thanks!

if its not a new clutch etc , there will be wear and tear etc,

there is no adjustment

the clutch covers increase with heavyness over time

the clutch fork pivot point will be worn down also which changes the angle the clutch fork pivots on making feel very short etc.

also worn clutch master and slave units will be tied etc.

Already have a braided clutch hose

Yeah I thought there was no adjustment .. the engage point is right at the bottom .. Need to really push it right down or else gear selection is a bit tough

Should I get all the related clutch bits checked or is it time for a new clutch? No slipping or anything! Thanks guys

i would , try with new slave cylinder and maybe master cylinder ,

but if the clutch pivot point is worn down , which they all seam to be particually on the m3's due to the heavier clutch and its only a plastic bit,

looks like that clutch pivot is going to need the gearbox out to replace? might as well check out the clutch at the same time if that is the case .. or is the pivot accessible without removing the bellhousing?

I will get the clutch cylinders looked at ..

So the order would be slave and master cylinders and a pressure bleed

And if not

Drop the box and replace the pivot and might as well throw in a new clutch assy since its already apart ..

then you may as well do gearbox bushings and seals if needed.
