Hey,

I'm almost finished collecting all of the parts neccesary for my auto-manual conversion. The last thing I need to buy is a clutch kit. The question is, which clutch to buy? I have a lightweight flywheel made for an M3, pretty sure its a fidanza. Which clutch should I use? UUC uses the e34 M5 clutch, but if I use that, which PP and throwout bearing do I need? Is it the same diameter as the M3 cutch disc? Lastly, which trans fluid should I use? I have a ZF trans out of an M3 with an MTF label on the side. Which brand/weight is reccomended. What are your thoughts on the fluid blend UUC uses? Is it right for my trans? I tired searching to no avail.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian

With the LTWFW I would use the mix that UUC recommends. It will quiet the chatter some. As far as the PP and ToB:

"Tipping the scales at only 8.5lbs, this aluminum flywheel boasts the same great features as our Classic flywheel, but is designed to use the clutch disk, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing from the 3.6 liter E34 M5."

From their website.

Guess I didn't look hard enough... haha.
Thanks.
Anyone else have a different opinion? Or is this the final verdict?

If that's the info from their site, you should listen to it. :)
