Twin-Disc Clutch Set (M50, M52, M52TU, M54 and S50)







Twin-Disc Clutch Set (M50, M52, M52TU, M54 and S50)
A Twin-Disc Clutch Set for M-Series and I6 S-Series Manual Gearboxes
An OEM-feel clutch able to hold up to 1000Nm of torque! If one of our single-plate clutches isn't strong enough for your build, then this could be the answer. A custom-made flywheel and spacer plate CNC-machined in-house at FTWL's factory, paired with two custom friction plates using LUK's OEM-quality 8090 kevlar friction pads and a Sachs OEM pressure plate provide a strong and reliable base to any build using an M50, M52, M52TU, M54 or S50 engine.
Please note that this kit does not come with a clutch alignment tool.
These fit:
The Getrag 5-speed from E36, E39, E46
The ZF 5-speed from E36, E39, E46
The ZF 6-speed from E36 M3
The Getrag 6-speed 420G from E46 M3
We DO NOT sell an option for the ZF GS6-37BZ (later E46 6-speed manual gearbox) as the input shaft is too short to house the clutch pack.
Included in the kit:
CNC-machined flywheel, plus patented sprung centre plate
High-quality Sachs pressure plate (our own specification - not available from any other supplier of this setup)
2x friction plates with billet machined centre hubs
Release bearing (Throw-out bearing)
Flywheel bolts
Centre plate and pressure plate bolts
You may also want to add:
Clutch pivot pin (Stainless steel)
Highly durable flywheel and intermediate plate - now also includes an updated, patent-pending anti-stick system for low-maintenance and cooler operating temperatures.
Friction discs incorporating LUK's 8090 kevlar friction pads with billet splines to mate to the gearbox input shaft
OEM-quality Sachs clutch pressure plate
Clutch release bearing and all bolts needed are included with the kit
Before refitting your gearbox shorten the release bearing guide tube by 4mm to increase clearance.
Make sure to thoroughly clean and lightly lubricate the splines of the gearbox input shaft before fitting the gearbox to the engine.
Please note that during clutch wearing-in phase, the discs will squeak on clutch uptake. This is normal and lasts until the clutch is fully bedded in.
Torque settings:
Flywheel 105Nm, with loctite
Centre plate 30Nm, with loctite
Pressure plate 25Nm
If you would like our Workshop to fit this part to your car, or you would like this clutch instead of the single-plate clutch adding to your turbo kit, please let us know before you buy.
