BMW Performance Clutch Kits & Parts for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

Give your factory clutch a heavier motorsport feel or make your extremely tough clutch more drivable! If you have an E36 there is absolutely no reason you don't have this clutch pedal! Your factory E36 clutch pedal is made of flimsy plastic with no adjustment at all, leaving you to the mercy of the clutch you have.

Our Turner Performance Adjustable Clutch Pedal is a rigid design that gives you the ability to fully adjust your clutch feel and performance. With both upper and lower adjustments this is the best pedal on the market to fine tune your clutch pedal just the way you like it. The upper eccentric provides an adjustable pedal ratio to fine tune clutch pedal effort(how heavy the pedal feels). The lower adjustment is to change the position of the clutch assist spring, this allows you to choose where the clutch assisting spring engages. Changing where the spring engages will move the area of tension on your clutch from lower, middle to higher for maximum adjustment.

Your race car no longer needs to have a clutch that makes the car undriveable on the street. Your track car can now be your daily driver or weekend cruiser.

Features:

Adjustable throw
Capable of quicker shifts
Three lower mounting points for the spring to adjust where the assistance engages
Eccentric mount for master cylinder to adjust leverage ratio and pedal feel(weight/force needed to engage the clutch)
Self lubricating bronze bushings
All necessary hardware required for installation
Pedal body and pedal are constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and type II black anodized for a great finish
NOTE: This Clutch Pedal does not include the Compression spring and the original spring must be reused. If you'd like to purchase a new spring, please see:

If you've ever bled the clutch hydraulic system on your BMW, you know how frustrating it can be. Designed with both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians in mind, our clever tool simplifies one of the most notoriously annoying steps in clutch service.

Crafted from high-quality aluminum and finished in a durable black anodized coating, our clutch slave cylinder bleeder tool is built to last. Its function is simple: the adjustable piston rod applies controlled pressure directly to the clutch slave cylinder’s piston, compressing it and reducing its internal volume. By minimizing the amount of air trapped inside the cylinder, bleeding becomes faster, cleaner, and far more effective—no more endless pedal pumping or inconsistent clutch feel. The result is firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement and a smoother overall driving experience, all achieved with less time and effort underneath the car.

BMW E36 M3 Z3 XACT Flywheel Streetlite is a high-performance upgrade designed to enhance engine response and acceleration. This Streetlite flywheel is significantly lighter than the stock flywheel, offering superior durability and strength. Crafted from Chromoly Steel, it provides excellent heat tolerance and rigidity, making it ideal for both street and drag racing applications.

• Improved Performance: Noticeably enhances engine response and acceleration with minimal gear rattle.
• Durability: Heat-treated forging ensures strength and toughness, while induction-hardened ring gears extend lifespan.
• Quality Construction: One-piece design prevents failure, ensuring uniform heat transfer and preventing issues like warped inserts or loose ring gears.
• Recommended Use: Suitable for both street and race applications.
• ACT Advantage: Forged, CNC machined, and dynamically balanced for reliable high RPM performance.

Specifications:

• Product Weight: 15.2 lbs
• Material: Chromoly Steel
• Friction Surface Diameter: 9.4 inches (240 mm)
• Flywheel Type: Streetlite
• Tooth Quantity: 113
• Warranty: 12 Months
• SFI Rating: 1.1

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate, a Performance Street sprung clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the R6 racing clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disc with 6 pads that is best suited for drag and road racing and handles heat better thanks to its increased surface contact area versus the 4 pad version of this disc, the R4. The R6 pads are composed of ceramic friction materials and the disc has a chome-moly hub that is heat treated for additional strength under high load engagements. Over stock, this disc is much better for faster shifting and significantly higher torque loads. Unlike the stock disc, this racing disk has a slightly shortened life span due to its rigid design and pad composition. This in turn is offset thanks to its fast, aggressive engagement for track use.

The final main component is the XACT Streetlite Flywheel. This option is the most popular thanks to it versatility for street driving and drag/track style racing, its lighter weight for increased throttle response, and its single mass design.

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate and a G4 racing clutch disc.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the G4 racing clutch disc. This disc is a sprung, 4-pad disc that is suited for high horsepower road and track style racing. The G4 pads are composed of ceramic friction materials and the disc has a chome-moly hub that is heat treated for additional strength under high load engagements. Also featured are heavy duty torsional springs that are rated for the clutch kit's expected uses. Over stock, this clutch kit has a much higher torque capacity and is better for quick shifting thanks to lower weight and inertia. Despite its ceramic racing style pads, this disc has great durability. In turn, these pads provide higher heat tolerances and faster, more aggressive clutch engagements.

Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set - Street Performance

Your transmission mounts are the backbone of your drivetrain. Stock rubber mounts often degrade quickly, leading to excess movement, mis-shifts, and, in some cases, even chassis damage. ECS Tuning’s Street Performance Polyurethane Transmission Mount Set offers an upgraded solution built for street and track performance alike.

Constructed from high-quality polyurethane and 304 stainless steel, these mounts are crafted to withstand the demands of high-torque and forced-induction setups, minimizing deflection and giving you more direct power delivery. With a 70A durometer rating, these mounts offer the best of both worlds—stiff enough to handle aggressive driving but still comfortable for daily commutes. For track-focused builds, we also offer a stiffer 80A version (sold separately).

Key Features:

Improved Stability: Reduced transmission movement for fewer mis-shifts and over-revs Polyurethane Construction: Stronger than rubber, with excellent oil and water resistance Engaging Driving Experience: A more connected feel without excessive vibration Dual Options: Choose Street (70A) or Race (80A) to match your driving style Durable Design: Mechanical interlock feature for high-stress applications Pair your new clutch and flywheel kit with these premium mounts for an unparalleled driving experience. Plus, our DIY guide makes installation easy—ECS Tuning has you covered from start to finish!
