Hi there,
I have found a flywheel from BBOY. Thx for that! And I am looking for some more used or 2nd hand parts. Specifically,

1. Torque plate/between flywheel and crankshaft (pic below)
2. Master cylinder (unless new available and reasonable $)
3. Slave cylinder (unless new available and reasonable $)
4. Fluid reservoir for manual (unless new available and reasonable $)

I will get new flywheel bolts, hoses, seals, release bearing, clutch disc/pressure plate, shift lever and tranny support by autosolutions.

Please message me if you have any of these?

My motor doesn’t have one of these shims, are they only used with the “twin mass” flywheel from a later model? I wouldn’t buy used master or slave cylinders myself which then would need to be rebuilt.
 
I presume you have seen this: lots of references to part numbers that allow you to hunt for used. That is how I found my e12 shift platform and e21 shift lever. http://www.e9coupe.com/tech/5speed.html

A couple of comments based on things I redid several times:

Not sure about autosolutions; but I tried several tranny mounts and settled on the Coupe King transmission mount: http://www.coupeking.com/shop/product/e9-5-speed-conversion-mount-kit/ Expensive, but highly recommended.

Also, whatever shift platform you acquire, mount the rear of the platform to the body of your car using a bolt installed from underneath passing through the platform, then use a sway bar bushing between the platform and the body, then, where the bolt passes through the body, use two (yes, two) nuts on the top to secure the platform to the body. I tried less robust ways of doing this, and twice found myself with the platform dislodged and bouncing off the driveshaft, having to pull upwards on the shifter to shift gears. Trust me, go with overkill on this.

#'s 2-4 might be available new and are pretty inexpensive, at least in the States.
Have you checked Mesa Performance?

Good to know about that shim. I was wondering too.

Hi Ohmess,

Ronald at Autosolutions makes lovely shift kits and supports. His and CoupeKings are very similar; great minds think alike, they say.

All the best,
Bill
 
I have several of the torque plates. They are used on 533i, 633i, and 733i models.
