Ok here s my problem. I have TOB noise coming from the bell housing. I can hear the whine through the first 4 gears and slightly in 5 and 6.
Heres my list of parts I have used in the car currently.
e46 6 speed transmission 105k miles and was working great with no noise in the donner car I took it out of.
e46 flywheel
e46 clutch disc (used less then 5 k miles and barely broken in )
e46 oem self adjusting pressure plate ( reset via the diy with the 3 jaw puller)
e36 piolet bearing
e46 new oem TOB
e36 ball pin platic
e36 clutch fork
e36 325i slave cylinder
auto drive shaft and 3.38 rear end out of a auto e36 m3
I have placed 3 Throw out bearings in the car over the past 3 weeks. Ive gotten the job timed down to 2:45 min ha ha
At first, I thought it was a new dud of a TOB. figured, heck new parts are sometime manufactured bad. Bought a new one, same noise. Today went in and replaced TOB with one that came out of the e46 with the transmission that was making no noise.
Still making exact same noise.
my other symptoms are that 1st is easy to go into when at a red light, I start moving and when I push the clutch in, I have to pull it out of 1st. it does not slide out of first. and going into second is a bear. goes in without grinding but extremely grumpy.
3-6 are fine , 3rds a little grumpy but ok and the rest go right in
here is where I'm at in my thought process
I think I may have bent the self adjusting pressure plate during the diy process of reseting it. I see in the UUC clutch kits, they simply hate that bugger from BMW and delete it all together going with a traditional clutch style with a simple PP.
I think that my driving issues as well with the first 3 gears.
Can I install my e36 Pressure plate? are my mounting points the same as the e46? will this work. Ive been in there now 3 times and I'm getting good at it. Only want to be in there one more time.
HELP
Otherwise the swap is great, no vibrations no issues at all, cruising speed on the highway and rpms are awesome
