92'-99' BMW 3 Series Clutch Replacement HOW TO: EASY

[@xTheNameisEthan]

Yeah if you have a lift and a few friends it’s easy, idk if I’m gonna be able to do this on jack stands in my garage

[@jspeedracing]

xTheNameisEthan I’ve done it on jack stands. It’s definitely a bit more challenging though haha

[@zzzzf8404]

@@jspeedracing me currently a week in lol cuz no one talked about the nut behind the starter on the obd1 cara

[@StallionNC15]

@@zzzzf8404 I think that might be the issue I’ve ran into. How did the rest of the replacement go for you?

[@BrokeBimmerBoys]

Not much of a how to you don’t even show which way the clutch goes in or to torque the flywheel or pressure playe

[@UltimatumAutomotive]

The clutch only goes in one way. On most kits says flywheel side and pressure plate side.

[@paulbruemmer9629]

Sooooo what about the starter?? How do you get that loose?

[@aidentrentham2802]

Did you disconnect the carrier bearing first or disconnect the driveshaft guibo from the transmission first?

[@saadsultan6489]

Hi I have 1999 BMW m3 convertible and I am doing automatic to a manual swap now I need to buy a Stage 1 clutch kit for zf 5-speed manual transmission which I got from 1998 BMW m3 any recommendation

[@justingreen1758]

Will you sell the spare clutch out the red one ?

[@asmurr97]

Got any tips on replacing the throw out bearing

[@Talaria69]

I have a 325i convertibles, only thing it’s automatic. Hopefully soon I will get a e36 an build it up

[@adolfovilleda2984]

What’s holding the baring on to the fork lever? I’m doing one of these cars right now and idk what I need to hold those 2 parts together

[@jspeedracing]

nothing lol. I know it's weird

[@XristoforosMoisidis]

Hi, my clutch is engaging progressibly low when using it lets say to park and after some poiont its not doing anything unless you pump it couple times. My question is, should i replace the master cylinder underneath the car or the one behind the pedal? Thank you man

[@jspeedracing]

try the one under the car. It is called the slave cylinder. The master is the one in the engine bay/pedal area.

[@hermansamayoa3599]

Hey dude, I replaced my clutch on my 99 323ic and and it's the type you have to lock in with a special tool, well I got all new parts even a flywheel and when I put everything back on the clutch to too far back from the fork and bearing and I dont know if I have unlock/release anything or what to do, could you help me out.

[@jspeedracing]

is the plate backwards?

[@hermansamayoa3599]

I'll get it back out and let you know, thanks for the feedback.

[@esthedik92]

great video, but i didn't learn much from a how to video.

[@biggboysouth]

Question for the folks that have recently owned one of these cars or earlier as a daily, what is your experience with them? I recently came across a 1989 3 series wagon that looks beautiful but have always heard about reliability issues, costly maintenance and them generally just being a pain to work on. Has this been the case for you? I do perform all the work on my own vehicles so keep that in mind. Only way it goes to a shop is if the job is something that requires expensive specialty tools I don't have or something like that.

[@jspeedracing]

biggboysouth Good question man. I have bought 5 E36’s and have had extremely good luck with them. To me, they are very simple. This whole “German engineering” thing I don’t quite grasp it. If I could only own one project car it would be an E36. Parts are dirt cheap and easy to work on. The motors hold up very well too. They are getting more difficult to find super cheap these days. I think a 89 is an e30 but not sure. Might be another country thing. Feel free to hit me up with anymore questions. If you need some Condor bushing let me know, I might be able to get you a discount

[@biggboysouth]

@@jspeedracing Thanks for the fast reply and I'm in the States (Florida). Yeah you are right it's an E30, I'm new to euro cars. I've been into muscle cars my whole life but lately I've been trying to experience other car scenes. Currently exploring JDM with my 97 Miata. Love driving it but for a daily it's small and I could really benefit from having a car with more room to pick up larger items. Been eyeing early 80s corolla wagons and then came across that BMW I mentioned. A fun to drive wagon sounds like a perfect daily. But that's awesome to know from your experience it's user friendly to work on and cheap to maintain. That's the main reason I never looked at them more seriously due to fear of being stuck with a car that would be difficult to maintain.

[@jspeedracing]

biggboysouth the wagon sounds pretty cool to me 👍

[@unosecura]

I’ve owned at least 10 e36’s Right now I currently own 2 1997 beautiful silver 328is coupe 5 speed, and a grungy but beautiful to me white 1999 323is coupe Automatic It has been quite a journey/experience Love & Hate relationship, but over all I agree with John e36 BMW’s are awesome, it’s up to the persons personal taste, I personally have dished out a lot of money trying to get my white one right, and wow I still can’t believe it’s not ready lol, good luck with everything, awesome channel @johndrives 💯🙌🏽👌🏼✨

[@carloscortez3836]

i'm trying to buy a bmw, but the guy says it need a clutch and clutch cable. Is this true? Will i really have to replace the cable?

[@jspeedracing]

no such thing as a cable. start with the slave cylinder

[@carloscortez3836]

I thought manual cars have a clutch cable? Sorry, if it sounds stupid. I'm trying to learn stick and want to get this BMW for 1500, I can get the clutch replaced for 620. The seller said car needs clutch and clutch cable?? should I just dismiss him and just start out with a new clutch first ? 05 325i

[@jspeedracing]

@@carloscortez3836 start with slave cylinder. Then if that doesnt fix it. Do the clutch. Message me on instagram @jon_drives and i can help

[@georgejackson7501]

great diagnosis guys

[@HunterAlexanderJohnson]

i have a quick question about the E36 clutch. My car won't go into reverse when it is on, but when the car is off it slips into reverse no problem. And its hard to get it in and out of gears 1-5 when the car is running. I think its a clutch issue, but do you have any other ideas as to what it could be?

[@jspeedracing]

HunterAlexanderFilms Bad slave cylinder?

[@jspeedracing]

They are cheap at auto parts places. Not difficult to replace either. Try that, and don’t forget to bleed it

[@HunterAlexanderJohnson]

@@jspeedracing okay great thank you, ill try that!

the transmission in our 93 E36 sounds like something is loose inside so I guess we have no choice but to drop the trans. man that looks like a pain in the ass. I'm doom. helpful video tho.
