Ways to Carry Out a Clutch Repair in a BMW
2
In BMW cars, clutch is either made of plastic or
thin metal, which do not withstand pressure and
friction.
3
So, there is more chance that you may be facing a
catch-22 with your BMW clutch.
4
Replacing clutch parts
5
A common cause of this catch-22 is the shift
fork pivot plastic pin which breaks easily,
leaving you with an inoperable clutch.
6
The logical solution to this is to replace it
with a brass AGA pin and be careful of the
fragile housing unit.
7
10 Steps for replacing the clutch
8
If you cannot merely repair parts, the clutch
needs to be entirely replaced. So, have a new
clutch kit ready and new transmission bolts
before beginning.
9
Step-1 After lowering the transmission from the
engine, remove the six 6mm Allen bolts from the
pressure plate in an alternating pattern.
10
Step-2 In the same way, unbolt the six T60 Torx
bolts from the flywheel and if the flywheel
surface is in good shape, you can leave it
installed avoiding a replacement.
11
Step-3 Remove and replace the pilot bearing by
using a bearing driver.
12
Step-4 Install and center the clutch disc by
removing the center bolt using the alignment tool.
13
Step-5 Next, install the pressure plate on the
alignment dowels which requires six new Allen
fasteners, tightened until pressure plate is
flush with the flywheel.
14
Step-6 And then remove the SAC lock by rotating
counterclockwise using a 14mm Allen and if the
SAC moves, use additional special tools to reset
the SAC feature of the pressure plate.
15
Step-7 Next, torque six new Allen fasteners
specified for your vehicle and then remove the
clutch disc alignment tool from the clutch disc.
16
Step-8 Then remove the throwout bearing, sliding
it off the transmission output shaft and release
the spring retaining clip to remove the clutch
fork from the bell housing.
17
Step-9 Next, replace the throwout guide bushing
by removing the four 10mm fasteners. Then install
a new clutch fork and throwout bearing with
proper alignment.
18
Step-10 Finally, reinstall the transmission by
sliding the transmission shaft into the clutch
until the bell housing is lined up flush with the
engine and tighten the bell housing fasteners.
