BMW N54 135i and 335i HPF CLUTCH INSTALLATION TECH VIDEO by HorsepowerFreaks

[@autoSRI]

I know this is an old video but I’ve just done this today on jack stands and used your video and I’d like to say thank you

[@climber120]

This video is fantastic. They did another video for the FMIC and saved me a ton of time. For that reason and the fact that they know exactly how to do these types of jobs I will be buying some parts from them. Nice to see guys who know what they are doing and put things like this together for the DIY guys.

[@Snowmirage6453]

Fantastic Video!!! As if you guys weren't amazing enough now your putting out high quality guides like this. Nothing short of amazing. I would love to come work in your shop for a week!

[@IDD33]

Great video, I dont even own one but I watched the whole thing cause it was very informative and not boring by any means!!!! Please upload more!!!!!!

[@EDIAutoChannel]

Should have a video on how to pull the transmission out and do the clutch in a E46 ! Please ! Much help ! Awesome video.

[@loesch8102]

This has been incredibly helpful. Thank you! I need to put an HPF product on my short term mod list. One question I had though is, what torque specs do you guys use for the flywheel bolts (6 bolt), and also the remaining, non-aluminum bell housing bolts?

[@BamaE92]

Very well done video! You both seem like very sharp guys, that video was easy to follow. Still on the fence though about replacing my 335i's DMF and clutch myself though....crazy how many steps are involved!

[@ChrisNieves]

great video but i wonder the difference of procedure on my 535xi. looks straight forward minus the amount of brackets and labeling.

[@sertone777]

Thank you so much for your knowledge! just knowing this makes it easy for me to work with confidence should I run into have to replace the clutch. mines new now but ..... you know. great job and much kudos due !

[@TheRealTypeC]

This has been invaluable. Thanks!

[@alinz2005]

Really informative. Cheers to everyone @ HPF

[@ak540i2]

Excellent video. Well narrated. What is the instrumental that plays when you guys are putting everything back together?

[@JDMJAMES]

Any idea how similar this is to a N55 135i? They have a different clutch I would assume there are some variations.

[@rolyf100]

Wow, an entire clutch R&R and not a single cuss word! Good job guys! LOL, love the wood block brace tip, wonder how you figured that one out? The same way we all do, right? Was that an upgrade or did that "low mileage" 135 already toast a clutch?

[@rsad2857]

Very informative and intuitive video. Thanks!!!

[@r00t_sh3ll]

amazing video guys keep up the good work your instructional videos are amazing

[@anthonyh0425]

That's one long stick you got there John.

[@SroArcher]

Funny when he said "a few" at 15:15 my "okay google" activated on my android lmao

[@gaijins30]

Great job guys, thank you for sharing this. Really appreciate this

[@labedra]

Awesome video! You definitely getting business from me.

[@davispaul82]

Whats the easiest way to install the slave cylinder? Did you open up the reservoir to release the pressure?

[@TheHandyHippy]

Pilot bearing? not gonna even talk about that?

[@understatedautobody]

John, where did you go to school for this stuff? i would love to have the amount of knowledge you have about BMW's

[@Ydaf995]

how did you get the center bolt out I tried to get it ,its extremely hard to get to ill hopfully ill get it tomorrow aaaaeerrrrrrrrr. you make it look so easy :) thanks for the video !

[@SuperPetermaher]

I noticed you marked the prop shaft before you disconnected it from the rear of the transmission. Why? I had a replacement trans(auto) installed in my 335i last week but my mechanic never marked to position of the prop shaft. Now I have a vibration under load at about 1200-1800 rpm. No vibration under gentle acceleration. Any thoughts?

[@atlanticsteroids9625]

I believe it has something to do with maintaining the balance. Your mechanic should have known that.

[@fatcatsgang]

Bungie cord to lift works DOPE for the driveshaft. And just a paint pen across the o2 connectors. I can get this all out of the way in like 30 minutes lol.

[@mikeg3335]

So why didn't you show putting the release bearing and guide tube back on?

[@jayobama9582]

Did you check the play in the dual mass flywheel? I thought it was normal procedure to replace it with clutch and pressure plate. Thanks

[@Skytags1]

Great Video keep up the good work

[@eddiekane5188]

I have a question, I recently purchased a 2013 BMW 135i with 6 speed manual transmission with no reverse. Reverse is there however it grinds and will not engage and all other gears work great. Using your guidance, I removed the transmission, (wow was that fun) and now I need to repair the reverse gear, can you give me any idea what I need to do. I love your videos and watch everyone I find, keep up the good work and hopefully look forward to hearing from you soon.

[@manny5259]

you take it to a transmission shop. You don't want to be fucking around inside the transmission unless you know what your doing.

[@Jeff_SMG]

Great vids thanks, Is it possible to make same for e46 smg ?

[@illduitmyself]

is this the same for all wheel drive. or you have to take out the halodex thing in front?

[@HacAlexxx]

hy, if you have the time can you do a video on how to remove a 320d clutch. Nice video it really helped me :)

[@matreyia]

How do you torque the crazy hidden bolts on the top of the transmission? Still use the swivel socket? Would that change the torque settings on the wrench?

[@raj-cr4nl]

No, torque would be the same.

[@lexgoh5259]

Hi Do you have a link on getting the HPF Feramic stage 1 clutch

[@aaab83]

I hope u can make a diy feramic clutch install video for e46 m3 smg.

[@SnipinCatz]

Incredibly helpful, thank you

[@Jalil__Barzaga]

Is it necessary to use the clutch alignment tool for the installation?

[@AnthonyStromDesign]

Not having a lift would make this job very difficult. Would you say so?

[@f4rshigatsu680]

Is it the same process for the f30 335i??

[@knightrida6829]

Really like your video bro you are really thorough,however I noticed you never checked or replaced the pilot bearing Any reason why ?

[@brib2669]

His car is in mint condition as u can see, probs has 5k miles on the odometer no need to check

[@adamjama5226]

where and how do i get involved in a proper shop like this? do i need some qualifications or just start from scratch?

[@BboyMobster]

nice video. I think I'm going with the automatic version of the 135i lol

[@Tha_Zhuk]

wouldn't even bother doing this myself but great video

[@tartoum50]

bravo et merci pour la vidéo

[@GuamSTI]

What a nice video and explanation

[@torrespope]

are we going to replace clutch on your BMW? heck just special tools are going to bankrupt me.

[@paulomendes3915]

thank you so much for your help!

[@bcs555]

what kind of glove are you guys using?

[@MarcusLSB]

I don't even own a 335/135 yet I found myself watching the entire video.

[@BeamingVideo]

HI this is same for a 335xi right?

[@borikangel]

How much torque I need to apply on the pressure plate?

[@Jc-cj8jb]

You don't need the tool if you buy a new pressure plate.

[@borrachoblanco]

Great video

[@Fernando66002]

Awesome job

[@arellano7142]

how much is labor to do a clutch job on the same car

[@illduitmyself]

like $2k

[@RTree613]

great tutorial guys.. as always lol

[@aibel99]

A mechanic took my gearbox out for repair and then another few mechanics done work to my n54. Eventually, someone forgot to put the oil cooler back on. Now my gearbox is damaged and needs repair. I'm thinking of getting a used gearbox and fitting it in myself. This looks way to complicated though so I think I'll just sell my car..

[@turbolabamerica]

Call me crazy, but when i bought my clutch they sent me the wrong clutch alignment tool. My brother lined up the splines best he could by eye and we got the transmission to go together without the tool.

[@webinarwizards]

E46 SMG Clutch! hpf clutch install!

[@DeanBKK]

The shop looks awfully quiet. Are you doing the customers car at 2 in the morning or something? lol

[@KozmikEl7]

you didnt replace the pilot bearing??? took me 3 plus hrs to get it off.

[@adriangutierrez9582]

N54 Lord Wet paper and a socket that fits flush did it in 20 minutes for me

[@Dazpez76]

Great engine but FUCK ME!!!! Missing a dip stick

[@gsr187t]

Agree the missing Dipstick is annoying, waiting for stupid computer to tell you info on oil level.

[@IzzyPChiba]
