Air in the system wouldnt have an effect on clamping force, thats all in the pressure plate. It would only prevent it from releasing all the way. But you already know this. So im going over here now. Bye
Darn, I had a feeling that might not do the trick.

I have had my "blue flywheel of death" for 20k miles at least with no troubles. It has fantastic feel and is still easy enough to drive that my wife said she can't tell the difference from the stock one. I am also not revving past the stock limiter, I would rather have the light flywheel and stock limiter any day.

Why are you still messing with junk clutches. Get the UUC twin disc and call it a day. Will also feel a lot better on your foot as it feels like factory.
How much power?

What exactly is the blue flywheel of death? Lol
Also, wouldn't a twin disk not feel stock at all? Unless you are talking about a different version , but most run crazy clamping force and won't have good pedal feel.

All of the reviews say it is very streetable and holds big power. I might need this in my life.

I am not sure why it has this terrible reputation, maybe people are using it with other mods that cause engine destruction? Lots of crap info on the interwebs. I run the OE e34 m5 pressure plate/clutch and it feels like stock but grabs way better. I am NA though.
In regards to the twin disc, it will be more stock feeling than a similar torque capable single disc because you have twice as much friction area. Same pressure plate force multiplied by twice the area = twice the torque capability with the same pedal feel.

Please don't listen to anyone here that says its bad. Its stock feel as it has 2 clutch discs so doesnt need as much clamping force to achieve the same thing your south bend would. I have driven a 673whp m52 e34 with one and could a very slight difference. Go to bimmerforumns were people actually have experince with them not here were its all here say. John I know all the secrets let me know if you need anyother info. Haha

Does anyone know what kind of clutch and pressure plate this is? Not sure it is a southbend stage 4...

it sure doesn't look a whole lot like mine, but I'm not sure if I have a stage 4 or a stage 5? And its red if that makes a difference.
Anyone else want an affordable twin disc? I'm going to be using a quartermasters twin disc, and their hydraulic TOB, and use a ring gear from an automatic, and build a simple button flywheel(or drill my bolt pattern into the one it comes with).
whole setup should be less than 500. And engage like stock
yet hold 1000ftlb. Ive personally driven a couple of these quartermaster twin discs, and they work great and are CHEAP and rebuildable. never driven one in a bmw though.. Turns out bmw is awesome and uses a 10 spline 1 1/8th input shaft, which is the same as most SBC transmission options, so thing are cheap WOOHOO.

Do you have a link to a set up like the one you're speaking of?

Were are you finding these quartermasters for $500? Unless they are used, which I would nmever use a used set up unless it had new clutch discs and such. From searching they are all around $1700 with TOB. Jon again go over to bimmerforums and search. Tried and true set ups that are known to work and not having to make your own flywheel.. Honestly if these set ups were that cheap and easy many people would have done it already.

I think I was pricing a used unit, that was rebuilt(which there are like 10000 on ebay or racing junk) But you can find on quartermasters site that chevy 10 spline 1 1/8 for less than 800 complete.

The clutch slips now and then. Probably due to the heat variations whenever the beans are given. I'll be getting the UUC twin disk. Let's do a case study to see if tsweers89 really knows what he is talking about.

Still trying to find the UUC Twin disc clutch... It's not in the basement or in the couch.
Anyone have a good condition g260 trans? Mine is noisy when the clutch is out. Yes, I do have a new TOB. I'm guessing bad bearings inside the trans. It was noisy before the turbo.
Or should I put new bearings in my trans? It has close to 300,000 on it.

Thats the "Getrag rattle" (worn layshaft bearings). Mine does it a bit too, nothing any normal passenger in the car would notice. How bad is yours? As im sure you are aware it isnt anything to be concerned with other than the annoyance of the noise.
There is/was a guy on the east coast that sold rebuilt transmissions (primarily for specE30) for about $800. Search for it on r3v
