bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 english is used correctly on this site. At all times. Thank you. It sounds to me as if your thrust/release bearing is stuffed. the only way to get rid of this is buying a new one. You can get this from your local BNT dealer. Under 'BNT'in the whitepages or you could go to a BMW dealer ask for the part you want. Abit more spendy from there but its an oem part not a made under licence part.

topless 5 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 It sounds to me as if your thrust/release bearing is stuffedAgree with this, but possibly also the pilot bearing is shot. Replace this bearing as a matter of course anyway, it costs less than $10 from a bearing shop.english is used correctly on this site. At all times.

330itis 15 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks for the advice! sorry about the english. I was a bit fed up with this yesterday. BMW put special bolts in special places where you cant get to them forcing me to buy $20 sockets BMW told me to break the engine loose and move it forward 3 inches! Meanwhile sugesting to me that i should bring it in for them to fix it yeah right... I got it out by myself eventualy. So today folowing the advice I bought: Release bearing, pilot bearing, and while I was at it the clutch fork pivot and retainer, Friction plate And had the flywheel resurfaced. Now When I went to put the flywheel back on I rang Jerry Clayton BMW to ask them if they could please give me the torque specs for the flywheel bolts, they told me they cant give out that info over the phone.... WAT DA...?? I found on the Iternet I need to replace the Bolts. Rang Team McMillan to order 8 bolts at $6ea where they told me without a fuss that they need to be tightend to 120Nm... how easy is that??? I was only wundering maybe the squeak is coming from the hydraulics?????? THANKS GUYS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topless 5 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 I was only wundering maybe the squeak is coming from the hydraulics??????The hydraulics are normally silent but if the flexible hose is collapsing inside, you could get a squeak as fluid is forced past the restriction. However, this would also generally result in a sluggish release of the clutch. The noise would only be present while you were depressing the clutch and would stop when the clutch was fully depressed.
