So I finally started the process of installing my new Spec 3+ clutch and Mfactory SMFW today

The car has 58k miles and the mods are in my signature...
I'm replacing it because the factory clutch was no longer holding at all in 3rd - 6th gears ever since I made the switch to MHD using the E40 map.

Here are some pictures from today

How does that pressure plate and flywheel look to you guys? lol

Does anyone know if the dual mass flywheel is supposed to have this much play in it? lol

No, your DMF is shot. The spring cup and sliding blocks are done. Clutch disc and cover look good, few hot spots on the pressure plate but nothing to be concerned about.

I must have missed the check box where to choose the color for my Spec 3+ clutch, so it matches my car also.

Please post reviews. I really want to know how bad the noise will be for the smfw.

Good looking car.
I remember that job on my 335, my first thought was holy shit that's a large transmission.

Yeah after feeling how much play was in the flywheel, I figured that wasn't right! Thats ok though, because its getting replaced anyway

That was a nice coincidence when I opened the box, its too bad it gets covered up and you'll never see it

Thanks!
Yeah, it didn't look so big while it was in the car, but as soon as it was loose, holy crap it took two of us guys to muscle it to the ground!

After I get it all installed and broken in, I'll be sure to write a quick review on them.
It'll be about 3 weeks or more though, because I'm also upgrading the fuel lines, adding a ECA system, TBI system, walnut blast, spark plugs, upgrading my BOV hose/nipple, deleting the PCV system with AD Engineering fittings, and couple other things...
Then I'll be hitting up BuraQ for a custom 100% E85 tune

In the mean time, here is a good review if you haven't read it yet... it helped with my decision to try this combo
