Finally found a good clutch/flyweel option for my s/c '95 m3

[Sam L]

So after putting this off for a while...I finally got around to getting a new clutch/flywheel for my '95 vf s/c m3 with 95k miles (on the original clutch). Per Jon Caldito's recommendation, I went with the Clutchmaster's stage 2 Kevlar clutch with JB Racing lightweight flywheel. I got it off bimmerworld.com.

Got it all installed at The M Shop in LA (highly recommend this place) :buttrock Thanks to Joe and Jon for the professional and timely install and great communication. I will be going back.

So far I'm very happy w/ the clutch/flywheel kit. The flywheel makes NO chatter, and the clutch feels just like stock (maybe even easier to drive than stock...)

Oh yeah, I figured I'd upgrade my shortshifter as well so I went with the Stygar shortshifter and I also HIGHLY recommend this kit. It's the cheapest one out there, feels GREAT (no notchiness, very short), and is made from OEM bmw parts. I upgraded from an old uuc one btw...

My car feels brand new! And with this kevlar clutch, i'm ready for an increase in boost...(call me when stage 2 is out, VF...) :evil2

I don't think Ron will mind me copy pasting his email regarding price/info...

31% reduction. Knob sets 3/4 inch lower than stock.
Crimped bent shift lever with nylon cup, four spacers and two circlips, grease and bent selector rod is $140 shipped via check USA. $144.45 via paypal.
I also do a Delrin Shifting arm bushing, pressed in and hand reamed to the exact size of the guide pin (bitch clip). New shifting arm with Delrin bearings and guide pin. That adds $58 via check. $60.04 via paypal.
Crimped shift lever gets rid of 2/3 slop in shift lever. Shifting arm gets rid of side to side slop.


I got mine with the shift lever (no "play" within gears now, where before i had like 1 inch of play), so it was about $200 shipped.

To order this shortshifter, you email Ron directly: ronstygar AT aol.com
