Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Building your perfect BMW is more than just adding horsepower and stiff suspension. Your drivetrain needs attention in order to deliver power effectively. Most BMWs feature comfortable clutch discs, heavy flywheels, long shifter throws, and open differentials. The drivetrain transmits power to the wheels, but can also be a source of power loss when it is designed for comfort rather than performance. Everything on this page will help you improve your power delivery and driving experience by providing custom Limited Slip Differentials, Short Shift Conversions, Performance Clutch Discs, Lightweight Flywheels, and anything else your BMW needs to be the perfect driving experience.

The ECS Billet Master Cylinder Fitting is the ultimate solution for a notorious failure point in BMW E30 clutch systems. This critical fitting, located at the end of the master cylinder reservoir hose, is responsible for delivering hydraulic fluid to the clutch master cylinder inlet. Unfortunately, the OEM plastic fitting is prone to degradation after prolonged exposure to brake fluid, often leading to total hydraulic pressure loss and brake fluid leaks inside your vehicle.

ECS has addressed this issue by engineering a robust and long-lasting alternative. Crafted from 6061 billet aluminum and finished with black hard-coat anodizing for superior corrosion resistance, this precision-machined fitting replaces the fragile plastic original, ensuring leak-free performance for the lifetime of your vehicle. Upgrade to our Billet Master Cylinder Fitting during your next clutch master cylinder service and enjoy peace of mind knowing your BMW is equipped with a durable, high-quality solution.

Features & Benefits:

Made from 6061 billet aluminum for a permanent, reliable upgrade over the factory plastic fitting. Black hard-coat anodized finish ensures long-lasting protection against the elements. Precision-machined barbs match OEM dimensions for a leak-free seal with Genuine and aftermarket master cylinders. Designed for a secure fit within the factory grommet location. Prevents brake fluid leaks and loss of clutch hydraulic pressure caused by plastic fitting failure. Upgrade your BMW and bulletproof your master cylinder with the ECS Billet Aluminum Master Cylinder Fitting. Ensure clutch hydraulic system reliability and enjoy peace of mind knowing your failure-prone plastic master cylinder fitting has been addressed.

Clutch kits make it easy to get all the key components needed for a proper clutch replacement in one convenient package. Most kits include a pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. More complete kits may also feature a pilot bearing and an alignment tool to ensure precise installation. Swapping out a worn clutch disc is an excellent way to restore performance and improve the driving feel of high-mileage vehicles. Common signs of a failing clutch system include a soft or low clutch pedal, slippage, or chatter during engagement. Worn release or pilot bearings often produce noticeable whining or grinding noises when the clutch pedal is pressed or released. Keep in mind, the clutch is a wear item. Lifespan varies widely depending on how the vehicle is driven—some may need replacement as early as 60,000 miles, while others can last well beyond 100,000 miles.

The transmission is one of the vehicle’s most vital components, with numerous finely engineered precision parts making it one of the most complex and expensive units to repair or replace. Using the correct oil and replacing it at the correct time is key to preventing transmission problems such as ‘shudder’, gear stiffness, and axle whining. Damaging components before these issues occur can result in possible premature and expensive transmission failure. Only the right oil can guarantee the safe functioning of the transmission in the vehicle. High-quality transmission oils from febi are therefore precisely matched to the special requirements of vehicle manufacturers.

Over the life of a vehicle, the transmission can often be overlooked when performing routine maintenance. If left unserviced, the automatic transmission fluid will break down, causing the valve body and filter to become contaminated with deposits and sludge. This will lead to poor shifting, slipping, and ultimately transmission replacement.

Over time, the transmission is often overlooked during routine vehicle maintenance. Without proper servicing, automatic transmission fluid degrades, leading to contamination of the valve body and filter with sludge and deposits. This can result in poor shifting, slipping, and, eventually, the need for a full transmission replacement.
