Ok so heres the story. I just finished a clutch in an E90 335xi. He had a Spec Stage 2 / Aluminum FW setup, lasted 1000 miles before it nuked the disc. Turns out the trans shop that did the work, forgot to transfer over the nub that sits in the flywheel to support the input shaft, and the excess slop ate through the disc and killed it.
So we managed to find an oem flywheel, stole the nub out of it, and installed a brand new Spec Stage 1 with a Steel SMFW. Everything fit like a glove, trans slid right on and up against the block with zero issues. Pedal is slightly firm, way less than ACT but slightly heavier than OEM. The problem lies in the fact that the pedal engages high, and it does not grab...AT ALL. It will barely roll out in 1st and 2nd, and 3rd if you even try to barely accelerate it will just jump RPM.
Are the flywheel step heights different from I/XI? Spec makes no mention and Ive done 6-7 clutches and this is the first Ive ever heard of anything like this. I am using the supplied Spec Throwout Bearing as well.
What do you guys think? Trying to get some insight before calling Spec tomorrow...
