Please ensure your correct model is selected

These heavy-duty clutch kits use aluminum lightweight flywheels with sport clutch components to give your clutch the grip and clamping force it needs to cope with high torque upgrades. Our kits were developed through racing programs by companies affiliated with our own race team - JB Racing, Sachs Sport, OS Giken, and UUC Motorwerks. JB Racing is the leader in aluminum lightweight flywheel upgrades. They are direct replacements for the stock dual-mass flywheels with steel contact surfaces and computer balanced to 14,000 RPM. JB has partnered with Sachs to spec sport/HD clutch discs and pressure plates that work seamlessly with their aluminum flywheels. The result is a clutch/flywheel upgrade package that functions a lot like the original clutch combo with near-stock levels of effort and engangement but with a much higher torque capacity. Don't let the clutch be your weak link in a highly tuned car!

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.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Simplifies bleeding the BMW clutch hydraulic system by reducing trapped air in the slave cylinder Eliminates excessive pedal pumping and inconsistent clutch feel Helps achieve firm, consistent clutch pedal engagement Crafted from high-quality aluminum for strength and longevity Durable black anodized finish resists wear and corrosion Designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our Clutch Slave Cylinder Bleeder Tool was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology, including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

As Used on Project E36 M3
Aluminum flywheels are much lighter than the stock steel flywheel and that produces better throttle response and more available horsepower to the wheels for faster acceleration. The JB Racing aluminum flywheels are a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and work with stock clutch components for an easy upgrade with very little downside.

Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. As a result they have become bloated in weight and that means more energy is used up just making the flywheel spin. The weight difference between an aluminum and steel flywheel is huge - sometimes more than 50% less. Without the additional mass, more energy can be diverted to where it counts most - moving the car. The flywheel and clutch is one of the first areas that engine builders address when making the rotating assembly lighter for race engines. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance.

In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response. Again, the difference is huge as you watch the revs build faster than before. With the engine spinning easier the power band comes up much sooner. The stock steel flywheel feels lazy in comparison. There is a driving adjustment required to get used to how much faster the engine revs but that's not really a downside.

The JB lightweight flywheel is designed to be used with a factory organic clutch - the same clutch kit that you would get from any BMW dealer. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. By using the factory BMW clutch, JB has also made the whole assembly easy to live with when used on the street. The clutch behaves the same as it originally did - just with better throttle response and more power! The JB flywheel can also be rebuilt with a new clutch contact surface - you don't have to buy a new flywheel.

Aluminum flywheels are considered 'single-mass' flywheels because they do not have the same dampening designs as an original 'dual-mass' flywheel. With a single-mass design more noise and vibration may be noticeable. There are steps you can take to minimize the noise - heavier weight transmission oil and clutch discs with anti-rattle springs (sprung-hub clutch). In addition to the standard replacement clutches, we also sell Sachs Performance sprung hub clutches that also work with the JB flywheels.

BMW E36 328i, Z3 2.8 JB Racing Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel offers a significant performance upgrade by replacing the heavy stock steel flywheel with a much lighter aluminum version. This JB Racing flywheel is designed to deliver faster acceleration, improved throttle response, and enhanced overall performance for your BMW.

The modern stock flywheels are burdened with additional components meant to dampen vibrations, which unfortunately adds unnecessary weight. The JB Racing aluminum flywheel, weighing just 10.0 lbs compared to the stock 25.0 lbs, eliminates this excess mass, allowing more power to reach the wheels and reducing the energy wasted on spinning the flywheel. Engine builders prioritize lightweight flywheels when optimizing race engines for maximum efficiency, and the difference is especially noticeable in how quickly the engine revs and reaches its power band.

This JB Racing lightweight flywheel is a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and is compatible with the factory BMW organic clutch. This compatibility ensures that you can use standard replacement clutches, making maintenance simple and cost-effective. The flywheel can also be resurfaced for a fresh contact surface, so there’s no need to buy a new one when it’s time to replace the clutch.

While single-mass aluminum flywheels like this one may result in slightly more noise and vibration compared to dual-mass designs, this can be managed with heavier transmission oil and sprung hub clutches, such as the Sachs Performance clutch available through Turner Motorsport.

  • Faster acceleration: Reduces the rotational mass for quicker engine response.
  • Improved throttle response: Engine revs more freely and builds RPM faster.
  • Enhanced performance: More power delivered to the wheels for better driving dynamics.
  • Cost-effective maintenance: Compatible with factory BMW organic clutches and can be resurfaced.
  • Direct replacement: Easy upgrade with no modifications required.

Vehicle Compatibility:

  • 1996-1999 E36 BMW 328i, 328is, 328ic
  • 1997-1998 Z3 BMW Z3 2.8

This lightened steel flywheel is specifically designed (and approved) for use in Grand-Am road racing but can also be used as a mild street upgrade if a full aluminum lightweight flywheel is not called for. The Grand-Am flywheel is 20% lighter than stock to meet the rules for the GS and ST classes.Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. As a result they have become bloated in weight and that means more energy is used up just making the flywheel spin. A lightweight flywheel does away with the dual mass design and its additional mass so more energy can be diverted to where it counts most - moving the car. The flywheel and clutch is one of the first areas that engine builders address when making the rotating assembly lighter for race engines. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance.

In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response. The engine revs much faster than before. With the engine spinning easier the power band comes up much sooner. The stock steel flywheel feels lazy in comparison. There is a driving adjustment required to get used to how much faster the engine revs but that's not really a downside.

Grand-Am approved this flywheel to be used with a factory E36 M3 clutch. This opens up a lot of clutch and pressure plate options but we typically used this with a stock Sachs OEM clutch kit. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches.
