Help with clutch fitment

335IE90 · 10-02-2020, 09:08 PM

Can anyone confirm the 550i/335is clutch will work on my 335i drive with the N55. Ecs tuning lists as working fcp euro does not list. Can't anyone confirm this or have this wet up on there xdrive car?! Need to order a clutch as soon as possible and this is holding me back. Thanks in advance

Yes I have an '11 E90 335 (N55) xdrive with the 550i/335is clutch and a luk oem replacement flywheel. It's been a great setup so far. I hardly notice any difference in pedal feel.

Here's the screenshot of what I ordered. Ended up having to order downpipe gaskets later too.

Thank you so much I ordered it. I have been stressing out since I clicked purchase.

Good call on the flywheel bolts, hopefully you have the right socket for them already. I forgot to mention I ordered them with the exhaust gaskets. I didn't mess with the pilot bearing because of a few stories I read about people having issues getting them out.

One thing I wish I had ordered was the center bearing for the rear driveshaft. It was at such a severe angle during the install I think it got damaged. It was clunking a couple hundred miles after the clutch job and I ended up having to replace it. If you're careful with keeping it secure, you'll probably be OK.

If you haven't replaced the fluid in your TCase, this would be a good time to do it too since it'll be out anyway.

We took the drive shaft out to do it. Broke the slave putting it in. Installed it last week in the ground and it started pouring rain wasn't able to get a solid clutch pedal. On my way to my parents this morning to finish bleeding the slave cyl
