This Stage 1 clutch will fit the 2009-2012 BMW 335 3.0L from production on 2/2009 and will hold 430 lbft. of torque at the flywheel. These kits feature a non-SAC mechanism pressure plate, which , deviating from the original design, provides a lighter rotating assembly, higher rpm capability and greater clamp load levels. Required for the install is a billet rebuildable flywheel that features a lightweight, low MOI design and infinite rebuildability. The billet aluminum flywheel weighs 14lbs, and billet steel 22 lbs.
Stage One
These clutches are great as a replacement for the stock clutch, and engage as smooth with stock-like daily drivability, but are much higher quality with very good wear characteristics. They are also good for high performance street driving, or light drag strip action for bolt on naturally aspirated and mildly modified forced induction engines. The kit comes with a high clamp pressure plate, steel-backed and multi-compound woven organic clutch disc with a high torque sprung hub and disc assembly with install tool. This application does not utilize a conventional throwout bearing, as the releaser is a concentric hydraulic slave/bearing assembly. This concentric slave is available at your local dealership.
These clutch kits are designed for use with SPEC flywheels SB53A-3 or SB53S-3. Spec flywheel is required for this kit.
