Are you having any issues with the flywheel? How many miles on the vehicle? Just asking as most of the time you can get away with doing just the clutch. Considering how much a flywheel is id def consider doing that and using the extra $$$ for items that need addressing while we are in there or such.

It rattles but that's common. I'm going to buy a flywheel just in case and return it if I don't need to replace it. The car was bought in April with 104. I drove it back from the east coast. Currently it's has 108k. I've been pricing the kits on bavauto that have the transmission seals and throw out bearings.

If you are replacing the flywheel you should look into a lightweight one. I have a UUC aluminum one in my e36 that is 11.5 lb I think and it is fantastic. In my e30 I put in a 14.5 lb lightened "i" flywheel when I swapped to 5spd. Last weekend I replaced one on a late e36 with a chromoly 16.5 lb one from ebay, F1 brand I think. It feels awesome with a light flywheel.
Also the dual mass from the e36 last weekend had no resistance to movement in it's rotation like it is supposed to have. It had 230k on it though.

How much is a new dual mass? You can get a lightweight one for less than 300.
dual mass is $500. I almost went uuc but I didn't feel like upgrading the clutch.

On an M54B30....stay with the OE flywheel. A lightweight flywheel will increase the harmonics associated with the aluminum block and long crankshaft. Especially if you like to run the engine at high RPM.

Got the new OE clutch and flywheel installed by tsweers89. He did a fantastic job! Car feels like a million bucks! I would recommend anyone taking work to him! It was definitely worth it taking it to him. Saved lots of money $$$. So happy to have a running car again that I have her a hand wash!

Glad it worked out for you. Now it is time to put the power to the wheels and upload a burnout video=D
Think he needs a few more break in miles before he does that. Thanks again Ben, if you need anymore work done let me know.
