Thanks for that link! I always find it funny how the threads here time jump. From. 2008 to 2020.

I am using 21212226854 with my EVO flywheel. Works great.

What’s the go-to clutch kit in 2020? For use on a street car with an Evo flywheel.

[Todd black 88]

Just recieved my clutch kit today and.....

Pressure plate number is the 134 plate but.... its got holes around the sides and two sandwiched straps in three spots.

clutch plate number is 1861661133

Any idea if the pressure plates for the M3 and 325i are the same now? I know the old 134 plate had no holes for ventilation, or whatever its for, but mine does.

What the hell clutch plate do I have? Any ideas if its a new number?

Anyone have access to Sachs recent part numbers for the M3? I know the post above has them, but are they the only ones and most recent? Any help would be great as i'm waiting on this for some major repairs on the driveline, and i don't want to pull the tranny twice.
thanks
Todd

The 134 PP is for the 325i/ix. (see post#13 in this thread)
Sachs Kit # 3000 457 001 should contain PP 3082 005 336, disc 1882 168 232, TO 3151 231 031.

you guy's worry me! I have just fitted a new SACHS clutch and there was no time to do any in depth checks on any part. All I know is that I have a non M3 pressure plate (no holes)
Is there a possibility that the non M3 pressure plate isn't up to the higher revs of the S14?? Fingers crossed.

Did you ever install this kit? I just ordered the same one off ebay.It came with a Sachs Part#3082 005 134. The ebay listing said it was for an e30 M3. Just wanted to see if it worked out for you or do I have to send it back. Thanks

I also just received a SACHS clutch kit with the same pressure plate part # --- 3082 005 134.

Can anyone identify this particular pressure plate? It doesn't seem correct.

I have a centerforce clutch. I like the engagement and heavy action required (i'm twisted) and can easily handle my ~200rwhp. However, I sometimes have an issue engaging 1st gear or reverse from dead stop. I'm not sure if this is clutch related, but can't figure it out for life of me. Prob only thing on my car that annoys me, as sometimes I just keep clutch in at a light to avoid possible hassle. (it wears out TO bearing, but I hardly am at a stop).

I'm really tempted to go overboard and pick up the OS Giken kit...

[FredK]

Doesn't the M42 have a 215mm clutch?

[M3 Adjuster]

just joined the pressure plate failure gang.. JB racing flywheel.. possibly FTL (for the loss?)

bell housing is ventilated but the flywheel sensors were fine.. caught this early on as i was at an autocross and the car just did not feel right at idle as i started a run... just a little extra vibration

for posterity my PP is a Sachs.. p/n 3082 005 336...
not good news for you NSX... has what looks like 2 layers (straps) but they really appear to be just one they are so close together.


the other pressure plate i have in my spares box is 3082 005 106.. from a spare motor that came from an accident car.... 10 to 1 that part # matches to the 318.. someone in the past told me that the setup for the 318 is close to the E30 M3 and is cheaper... the M version has holes in it (less weight?) whereas the 106 does not.

Why does no one rebuild their stock one? The entire system can be rebuilt to spec or better just replace the t-o bearing...

[VOXX82]

Ordered another standard OEM Sachs kit. (Made in Germany)
I have found prices from $189.00 to $650 for the exact same kit?
These folks are 20 minutes from me, so I will give it a shot.
Will let you know how it goes!

The new E30 M3 SACHS PR Plate stamped "Made in Germany
# 3082 005 336" has what looks like 2 layers (straps) Here are a few shots for Internet prosperity........

[NSXM3]

"The straps we're taking about are what holds the heavy steel friction surface to the pressure plate stamped housing. Rivited to both peices, about 1/2" wide, and 2" long steel straps. There are 3 or four of them around the perimeter. If you only have one layer of strapping, run away"

As a reference, the PR. Plate 3082 005 134 in the photo I posted has 3 straps around the perimiter. The straps are sandwiched two on top of each other.


"I have seen other M3 PP and the big difference (and point of failure) between the new ones ordered and the original ones that came out of the cars is the number of straps used. If I recall correctly, the original ones had 3 metal straps on them, whereas every single new one I've seen only has 1."

Great, so even the correct 3082 005 336 could be a problem?
Will hope for the best & count the straps...........

[NSXM3]

Well, the seller is sending the correct 3082 005 336 Pr. plate.

Just to pass on what I have found out, here are the SACHS part numbers needed for an E30 M3.

Clutch disc 1862 168 232
TO bearing 053151231031 / 614105 cb-04003

SACHS kit = KF775-01
LUK kit = 03-045 (uses exact same part numbers as SACHS kit)

SACHS phone # (440) 871-4890

One day this post might help someone else out.:cheer2:
