How to inspect and replace the clutch disc, flywheel and release bearing on BMW 335i?

Inspect the clutch disc for wear, cracks, loose rivets, contamination or excessive runout (warping). Replace if necessary. Measure the depth of the clutch lining at lining rivets, if the shallowest rivet depth is less than 1 mm (0.04 in), replace the clutch disk. Inspect the flywheel for scoring, hotspots, cracks or loose or worn guide pins. Replace the flywheel if any faults are found. If the flywheel is removed from the engine, install using new bolts. Check to make sure the transmission pilot bearing rotates smoothly without play. Replace if faulty. Inspect and clean the release bearing module. Check the release bearing ball stud and spring retainer. Replace if damaged or worn. Clean the release bearing guide sleeve. Do not grease the release bearing module or guide sleeve. If the guide sleeve is greased, the release bearing may stick to it.

BMW 335i Clutch Disc

A Clutch Disc functions as an essential link between engine power and the input shaft in transmission systems of BMW 335i automobiles to maintain consistent gear shifts. A dual-faced BMW Clutch Disc contains material that both connects with flywheel and pressure plate for transmitting engine power through both sides. The pressure plate detaches from the disc after the driver hits the clutch pedal so gear shifts become possible. Standard driving conditions typically use organic materials as the main component for the disc although it also can be made from ceramic or kevlar or metallic material options. Different 335i Clutch Disc styles come in two configurations: sprung hub and rigid hub. The shock-absorbing properties of sprung hub discs with their coil spring mechanism work well in street conditions but racing vehicles normally use rigid hub discs. BMW 335i Clutch Disc need replacement because heat and friction eventually wear them down to the point of slippage that affects performance thus requiring swift replacement to keep the vehicle operational.
