BMW Aluminum Flywheel - Clutch Masters FW-075-AL
BMW Aluminum Flywheel - Clutch Masters FW-075-AL
Upgrading to a lightweight aluminum flywheel on your 135i/335i N54/N55 has many advantages:
- eliminate potential failures from the original Dual-Mass Flywheel
- faster revs from less rotational mass
- more power to the wheels
Upgrading to an aluminum flywheel not only has performance benefits but is also a smart move to prevent a potentially catastrophic flywheel failure. Aluminum flywheels are a single-mass design - machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a replaceable steel clutch plate. This makes the flywheel lighter and simpler, two things that are appreciated for better performance and reliability. Because aluminum is the lightest flywheel available we recommend this for mostly track-focused cars. Steel is also available for performance street use.
High Technology Makes the Difference. Historically, high performance clutches have been a compromise. While improving holding or clamping pressure, manufacturers nearly always increase pedal pressure to an uncomfortable point, especially for stop-and-go traffic. Besides drivability concerns, additional pedal pressure can adversely affect stock clutch linkage and cause premature thrust bearing wear, leading to missed shifts, damaged clutch components, and even engine destruction. Today, thanks to Clutch Masters, increased holding pressure does not necessarily mean increased pedal pressure and the problems that can accompany it. By re-engineering the leverage or fulcrum point on the pressure plate through their Hi-Leveragetm technique, Clutch Masters has increased clamping power, often without changing pedal pressure.
