Hey my clutch is starting to slip in my 2006 650i 6speed manual. Im located in the NY area and want to know where is the best place to get a new clutch installed.
A slipping clutch smells awful :tsk:.
Please any help and imput. YORGI please feel free to chime in, you seem to have all the answers here.
The one thing I know is that I would not go to the dealer for a new clutch. See if you can find a recommended BMW indie shop in your area and go there.
I found an aftermarket source which sells a 650i clutch kit for $390. Tischer is asking either $340 or $1,492. I see two listings for what seems like the same thing at Tischer. Part# 21207573789 seems like it's a clutch kit for $340, I would call and ask what it includes.
A standard clutch job gives you new: pressure plate, clutch disc and throw-out bearing. If it were me, I would also change the following while you are in there (list from Pelican Parts "super clutch kit"):
New bolts for flywheel and clutch pressure plate
New crankshaft rear seal (aka flywheel seal)
New transmission Input Shaft seal
New shifter selector rod seal
New exhaust flange gaskets/seals
New exhaust flanges
New flex disc nuts (where applicable)
New pilot bearing
New release bearing spring clip
New clutch pivot pin
New slave cylinder
It's an additional ~ $200 for all those extra parts, but the labor will not cost you any more than the standard clutch job labor. If you go for a "standard" 3 part clutch job and any of the "extra" seals fail down the road, you will be paying a lot more than $200 in labor to replace the part.
Yeah the dealer is a real class act telling me $3900 for the parts and labor. I contacted tischer and the kit i need for the 650i is $1,495 which consists of the complete clutch and fly wheel assembly because its a duel-mass fly wheels which has the be changed when the clutch is changed. I also found a local shop that only do BMW work and they said $2,200 for the clutch kit and labor which is alot better than the dealer but still really hefty and at such a bad time of the year. Why is it at this time of the year things always go wrong and unexpected expenses always occur.
Im going to look into all those other parts you said to change and just do everything once.
Thanks a million and anyone else with input please share for me and anyone who might have the same issues in the future.
Lmao "balling" I can't ball over here but man I miss doing a burn out. If I try burning out the rpm's fly up and no wheel spin just stinking clutch smell lol.
Anyone have or know a recommended and reputable shop that warranties their work along the east coast? Im looking to go on a small get a way so anywhere along the east coast i'll be willing to visit to get the job done.
Thanks they said it will be $650 labor plus parts.
