M60 M62 Twin-Plate Clutch Kit for BMW M57 Gearbox

With this M60 M62 twin-plate clutch kit, you can fit the strong GS5-39DZ gearbox from the M57 diesel behind a BMW M60 or M62 V8. It is the most durable and smoothest-operating conversion kit for V8 swaps: a twin-plate clutch that transmits up to 1100 Nm without you feeling it in the pedal.

Thanks to the 240 mm discs and the large friction surface, slipping the clutch and pulling away feel just as they do in a standard car. The floating intermediate plate slides on specially developed steel and never seizes, a problem that alloy flywheels do suffer from under heavy use. The pressure plate clamps the discs together over 4.5 mm of travel, so the clutch lasts around 50% longer than a BMW clutch with pressure plate.

Specifically for the M62, the adapter has a location for mounting the standard crankshaft position sensor. The flywheel, pressure plate and floating plate are balanced together to prevent vibration.

A twin-plate clutch kit that transmits 1100 Nm, yet has the pedal feel of a standard car.

Why choose this twin-plate clutch kit?

The GS5-39DZ is one of the strongest manual gearboxes BMW has ever built, and this kit is the neatest way to put it behind an M60 or M62. Design and machining are tailored to the most demanding customers: no alloy flywheel that cannot cope with the hard work, but a balanced steel package that lasts.
