Crazy Cheap Clutch and Flywheel

-JrHatch- · 07-02-2018, 10:10 AM

Have been procrastinating on buying clutch and flywheel for my 335i forever due to the clutch kit being $300 and DMF around $500-$600. I also am selling the car very soon so it was hard to justify the cost.
Today I found on Parts Geek, $219 for clutch kit (does not come with release arm or alignment tool however these can be bought separately for cheap) and the flywheel for only $384
Just thought this was a really good deal and wanted to share

That's a super deal!!

Really good deal. Hard to beat. I'd maybe consider the clutch through FCP, but flywheel price is solid.

Sometimes you need to click Buy before they either change their mind, or realize their error. I did that on an RT to DC for 300 bucks from DFW.

Parts came in the mail today, The $219 clutch kit came with almost every accessory which was unexpected. Came with throw out bearing, clutch fork, pilot bearing, grease, and alignment tool.
Only things I had to buy additionally
Transmission, flywheel and pressure plate bolts
Pivot pin
Spring clip for fork

Pretty stoked, now I just have to install everything

once you have the new DFW installed, check it how much play there is. Most people think they need to replaced the DFW with any play but that is false.

Nice, did they send you the wrong kit by mistake lol. They have a kit for $290 and another one for $320....

Bumping this, I ordered the same parts from Rock Auto for around same price, the Luk clutch kit 03081 also came with throwout bearing, clutch fork, pilot bearing, grease, and alignment tool

Very nice deal !

At least should have bought 335is clutch. Same feel, but would last longer if running any more power than stock. Price difference is minimal.

This is the 335is clutch from LUK.

My luk clutch has been riding strong for 30k miles. If I was stock turbos, I would def pick up that flywheel as well. FWIW, sometimes the existing flywheel can be reused or be lightly machined for cheap.

anyone have a direct link to the 335is clutch kit for the best price?
