Clutch for the love of all that is holy

schneid4323 · 04-15-2007, 02:56 PM

Is anyone making an aftermarket clutch for the e92 335i, does anyone know if any other car models clutches fit?

E90Fleet · 04-15-2007, 04:06 PM

Whats wrong with the BMW one ?

wj4 · 04-15-2007, 04:38 PM

^The stock clutch is very light. Some people prefer a heavier clutch and one that catches better with the new power.

schneid4323 · 04-15-2007, 05:03 PM

The stock clutch is a POS and wont hold 380 ft/lbs of torque, and the stock lines wont hold preassure from a good BBK because they run from the same reserve

RRGOO7 · 04-15-2007, 07:57 PM

i totally agree i hate the stock cluth....so light and its dammn near impossible to get a smooth shift

blak/red+tha egle in midl · 04-15-2007, 08:01 PM

i agree 2 its so hard for me to find the clutch point and shift smooth. and it took me 4ever to get the hang of the start off on 1st gear. any advice with the shifting cuz im not really tryna change the cutch or anythin

Clutch Masters is working on a stage 1 thru stage 5 clutch upgrades, they also will have a lightened flywheel. I'll keep you posted. I figured most people wouldn't be ready for clutches for a few more months.

Chesmu · 04-15-2007, 09:31 PM

have you guys tried the cdv delete first? This supposedly helps smooth out shifts. I also highly recommend a short shift knob...I have the OEM short knob and it has made a difference.

PresaMat · 04-15-2007, 10:21 PM

I believe UUC performance has a clutch for the 335. I talked to them about a month and a half ago and they said at the time it would be ready in a few weeks. Give them a call. They have good prices too.

Not Ur Avg 3 · 04-15-2007, 11:01 PM

ye cdv and an ssk wud prob be the best thing u can do thus far for smoother shifts, but ye a better clutch is needed with additions like the procede.
damn schneid.... when am i gonna see ur car? lol, Ben (from SMU) has told me uve done some crazy things to ur 335, and so has chase at stett, he told me ur gettn some custom downpipes or sumtn lol.
from wat i hear u go to highland parks?.... plano west here

HyperM3 · 04-16-2007, 03:54 PM

Changed out my CDV the other day and while at first I didnt like it, I was able to shift better naturally after some driving. It really makes a big difference for such a cheap mod. It shifts with authority now.

schneid4323 · 04-16-2007, 04:30 PM

CDV was a major help
the clutch is a POS

Boondoggler · 04-17-2007, 08:27 AM

The combination of the Rogue Engineering Octane Short Shift Kit, the cdv delete, and the M-sports knob provides a much smoother shifting experience. Totally worth the $350 investment. Of course this doesn't address folks who want a stiffer clutch or who wish to install a BBK, but if you're finding it hard to shift smoothly, this is a good solution.

BeMyWife330i · 04-17-2007, 09:07 AM

cdv for sure.....http://www.zeckhausen.com/cdv.htm

bimmermans54 · 04-20-2007, 12:26 PM

SPEC, they make the best. Had it in my 650 rwhp e46 m3, well all my bmws.
ASK for davind or jeremy 205 491 8581.
The others are garbage

bimmermans54 · 04-20-2007, 12:27 PM

SPEC= star performance engineered clutches.
David, or Jeremy

ATG · 04-20-2007, 12:30 PM

Trust me, e90 clutch is totally fine. I used to have a perfromance clutch on my old car -- my left foot and calf are still sore.

Boondoggler · 04-20-2007, 12:41 PM

SPEC's website doesn't show an available clutch for the e90.

Would you happen to know if the Rougue Octane SSK would fit an E92 335? I would assume that it would, but I haven't seen anyone with one.

purplewidow · 04-20-2007, 03:53 PM

yeah even though i have an auto i was n't happy when i drove a stick it felt like i had to push take my foot off the floor to push the clutch all the way in and i am 6ft and don't drive all ghetto...deff no granny either!!! what gives

No, not yet.

[edit] Sorry, I didn't notice you started the other thread in reference to the Octane for the E92 335. Sorry for the repost[/edit]

Not available just yet, but in final development now.

We'll be offering solid-hub versions for use with the OE dual mass flywheel in a variety of facings, from performance street up through hardcore drag racing. Our similar clutches for E46/E39/E36 handle beyond 650lb-ft.

We will also be offering a lightened solid flywheel with sprung-hub clutch with the same facings.

Our line of clutches are the "tuner's choice" for racing and forced induction, we also private-label our clutches and flywheels for some of the bigger European tuners.

FYI... the reason E90/E92 clutches aren't out yet is the difficulty in manufacturing. BMW introduced an entirely new style of transmission/flywheel interaction with these cars, requirign us to manufacture special components. It's expensive, but we figure as soon as some of you guys start hitting the 500-600hp mark, you'll need an upgrade!
