buzzlightyear 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 i just did a 325i conversion and used my 320i clutch. the clutch is slipping hugely. called couple of places and they say that the clutchs are the same which is a bit odd considering the power diff from a 320i and 325i just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a heavy duty 2.5 something that can take alot of dropping and stuff. any help be really appriciated.

Gus 5 Report post Posted July 6, 2006 they are the same..your 320 one prob buggered though...anyway there a place on archers road that sells LuK clutch kits...around 250 for the full kit. disc/pp/to bearing and pilot tool....quality seems fine too. also check your rear main seal isnt leaking oil onto the clutch and causing it to slip..has happened before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah, just got my kit from European parts in Ryan Plc, Manukau City, as above includes locating pin, $225 incl GST. Luk, made in South Africa, seems OK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topless 13 Report post Posted July 7, 2006 Luk, made in South Africa, seems OK. I can vouch for the quality of the LUK clutches, I would easily have fitted 100+ LUK kits with no failures, but then I always had the flywheel skimmed as part of the replacement.

buzzlightyear 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 yea its a brand new flywheel from germany had to get the bloody thing cause of the motronic. its only slipping up the top of the revs and just did open road and in top gear foot flat at 100 just pulls away but not exactly quickly and then starts to smell like clutch.

kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 Talk to Kevin at ABC on the northshore [Auckland Brake & Clutch] they are the importers of LUK from South Africa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topless 13 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Just a thought, the LUK clutches come with a coating on the pressure plate face which you must remove before assembling, come off with petrol. You did remove it..? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You did remove it..? they do? i never had a problem with mine...i imagine any sort of coating would just burn off with the friction? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 I see LuK also sponsor the BMW 320 SI's in the WTCC, see on the WTCC site, also free video of races. http://www.fiawtcc.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
