'13 DCT clutch replacement or trans swap?

[Mxtress]

So, I've got a '13 135i with a DCT. And after looking at the costs of the a new DCT clutch or aftermarket clutch pack, I'm noticing that it might be the same or cheaper to just swap in a 6 speed.

I know people have done it and I'm not worried about that. I feel like I'm a little frustrated that, with the tools I have available, it would probably cost me less in parts to do transmission swap than it would to just replace the DCT clutch pack.

So, are there any rebuilt or new DCT clutches or clutch packs that aren't over $2000? Because I can't seem to find any.

I just realized I put this in the wrong forum section. Could a mod help me out here and move it to the 135i/N55 section? Or just delete it, I can repost, it's fine.

Just curious, what is the cause that's making you have to get new clutch?

I don't have to get one right now. Like, my clutch is just fine. But I don't like waiting for parts when I need to replace something. So I plan ahead and either have a resource available so I can overnight something or have the parts on hand.
