550i clutch. Comes with a pressure plate and new bolts but no alignment tool. New flywheel didn't even come with new bolts and I had to buy them too lol

After struggling for hours I figured out the best way of doing this on jackstands without help without a proper set up. i would recommend this process, to get it back up (getting it off is pretty easy)
Step 1 : Understand where the centre weight balance point of the gearbox is Step 2: Position gearbox under car about 5-10cm away from clutch interface on ground Step 2 : Use a jack and most importantly get a bit of yoga matt/rubber to put in the jack cup (otherwise the gearbox will slip all over the place on the cup and make life hell) Position jack perpendicular to the car step 3: Get underneath the car (so you are perpendicular) get behind the gbox (driveshaft end) and lift it up into the cavity and put the jack (cup) underneath the GB centre balance point - balance the GB on jack cup Step 4: Use your leg to pump the jack handle up while using hands to steady & guide GB into location - slowly once you get close and guide the GB into position Step 5: With the jack taking the weight put a couple of the bolts in Step 6: drop and remove jack, do up all bolts The key is to use the centre balance point of the GB on jack and use something so it doesn't slip on the jack cup - do this and guarantee the pain will be minimal Also makes it easier to get to the top back bolts if you use a engine support bar to lift the engine and makes the gearbox go down Hope this helps someone - makes it MUCH easier |
