Title: Any interest in a single mass flywheel?
Post by: redhead on September 14, 2010, 07:20:00 PM: I have the coveted m40 single mass flywheel which is only 1lb heavier than the m20 conversion with all things considered (flywheel, clutch disc & pressure plate). Hell of a lot lighter than the stock dual mass FW!

I can include the matching clutch disc, pressure plate and throw out bearing and the benefit is you can use your existing starter motor - no need to find an m20 starter motor & swap pinion gears and all that jazz. I can also resurface it for you if you would like to put on a new clutch.

Will entertain offers.

Post by: redhead on September 17, 2010, 02:35:28 AM: I would like to see $165 for the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate & throwout bearing - all with ~93,000 miles on it.
The stock clutches on my e30's lasted 160,000 & 194,000 miles with the latter still holding fine when I pulled it - the clutch included should still have some good life in it yet.

Picture showing the amount of meat left on the clutch disc, still has some life left:

Hmm good question, if its the same size as the M42 (215mm) then it may...

I read that the pressure plate is swappable so presumably the clutch disc would match as well?

Post by: jscribble on September 23, 2010, 03:11:39 PM: That would be good to know, as the m40 put out a little less power, so presumably would not hold as well as m42 clutch.

Generally stock BMW clutches are very robust. I can't see that as being an issue, unless you are running a heavily modified engine.

Post by: johna on October 01, 2010, 07:43:42 PM: I did the M40 flywheel conversion on my previous 318is and I am sure that the M42 clutch does not fit the M40 fywheel - you must use a M40 clutch. I can't remember all the reasons but for one the M40 clutch has a sprung centre and the M42 clutch does not.

Post by: pdxmotorhead on October 02, 2010, 12:29:20 AM: You need to buy the spring center disk to match the single mass flywheel, the dual mass flywheel uses a solid disk.
