WTB-flywheel for 5 spd conversion

[billpatterson]

Hi there!

I am compiling the parts for a E3 automatic to a 5 speed conversion. I am using a Getrag 265. The next piece I am looking for is a decent used flywheel.

Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill, is this the one. I might have one. Will let you know tomorrow.

Hi BBOY,

The key is that M30 engines (6 cylinder) use a larger diameter flywheel and clutch (240 mm). The 4 cylinder engines use a smaller diameter flywheel and clutch (228 mm).

For example, https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-22224-11221270286-genuine-bmw-part/

Thank for confirming!

Bill

Hi Bill, it's a bit rusty. Here is the measurement and it's a 240 mm disc.

Hi! That’s cool and OK. Is one better than the other? As long as it’s not pitted; it can be resurfaced. How much $$ ? I live in Edmonton Alberta and my postal code is T5R4B5.

cheers

Hi: I have a a complete set up from A to Z for conversion including resurfaced flywheel, upgraded clutch, Driveshaft, LS diff, shiftier & platform, 5 Speed & new modified cross member including very nice rebuilt half shafts. Let me know what you need other than flywheel.

Hi Jahan
Sounds great. I will need a modified driveshaft. It best to update the support bearing too. Is the driveshaft for a Automatic to 265 5 spd conversion? How has the driveshaft been modified? Please let me know what you are asking for the driveshaft? I am in Edmonton, Alberta T5R4B5.

Bill

Buy an aluminum one?

Hi 'teahead',
Please explain the advantages of an aluminum flywheel for a street bound vehicle? http://www.jbracing.com/flywheel-bmw2.php . I'm always open to learning.

Cheers,
Bill

An Alu flywheel will rev quicker but you will sacrifice the smoothness that a stock flywheel brings, especially at idle. That is my experience FWIW.

Here's a pic of the alum. flywheel that is in my 5 speed conversion. The previous owner bought it from Korman Autoworks in North Carolina. Note that the high strength bolts need to be longer than the bolts used in a steel flywheel. My engine was out of the car during its color change.
