I mean the only downside to it is the extra noise. But the level of noise will depend on your set up. Im kind of getting used to it already and I think the trade off for the fun factor is worth it. The shifter upgrade i did was from ECS. You can find it there and it replaces a lot the bushings in there. I think from the pic in changed #2. This i would strongly suggest. But you cannot do this upgrade easily with the transmission in, best to do with clutch job. Id say do it, if you plan to get exhaust or headers down the line you wont be able to notice the noise if you even do have one. |

Are you getting the valeo kit or ? Is the rest of the car stock ? I'd like to hear a recording of how it sounds after you get it installed.

What car are you searching? I bought this kit. It is a whole rebuild for everything there. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assemble...-kit/sftrbkt2/ I have e90 330i I know not all parts are interchangeable between 325i/328i |

Yeah I got the Valeo kit with no other mods and a fresh transmission mount. I can get you a recording from inside and out when I get it back.

Conversion kit is in. I'll try to grab a recording, but I can't hear anything at idle. There is a slight grunt on take off, but that's the only noise I've noticed. Pedal feel is greatly improved!

it feels stupid to ask if you're sure... is there no noise noticeable even standing outside the car ? how cold is it now where you live ? did you get the engine a good spanking with the new clutch, so as to get it nice & hot ? the noise is reportedly worse when ambient temp. is high, but a hot engine should be close enough. I don't doubt it. I'm just not sure it's much different than a set of new OEM bushings. Can you clarify the question I had reg. the 2 self-locking nuts ?

I'll get the video Saturday, that's my only free day since I've gotten it back. Inside, outside, and under hood both warm and cold. Maybe it's there and I'm not hearing it?

Did some digging and found out that these locking nuts do not belong in this kit. Not unusual of ECS having items in their kits that do not belong there. I had a guy near me test drive my car, he has the same e90 330i but stock shifter set up with not old bushings and he was really impressed with the feel. Just throwing this out there. Seems like with stock bushings there is barely any noise if any with the valeo kit. Feeling much better about my set up now. Looking forward to that video, I will try to see if I can put one up of my car too. |

that info on the comparison is good ! I guess the only question is what "not old" means ? +to make sure - you do not have a ssk or an aftermarket, you are also stock just with the bushing kit from ECS ?

It was a beautiful day outside, so I managed to get 2 quick videos at lunch. One is my phone right above the hood idling, the second is leaving a stop sign. Both videos are of a warm motor with about 40 minutes of driving time in the hills and it's about 50 degrees.
Let me know if you would like a video from another location.

You also need to take into consideration that some of those above could be way lighter flywheels which would result in that noise. The Valeo kit flywheel is almost the same weight as the stock. Just get the kit, you will love it. |

took the plunge and got the conversion kit. didn't install just yet as FCP euro royally screwed up the delivery and it's a mess of dinged parts.
I also got the ECS shift kit you recommended, based on the info you published here. and BTW I now learned that the kit has 2 things upgraded not just 1: the teflon bushings (I knew about) and the Turner arm bushing (not sure why I never noticed) Oh, I also contacted ECS regarding what those nuts are for, waiting to hear back

But to make sure, you say width - you mean the ID/bore ? or possibly their engagement depth in the pivot arm ?
