Default clutch on my E39 BMW

So ... after replacing clutch slave and and the master cylinder ... still had shifting issues. Took the plunge and decided to R&R the DMF, clutch disc, PP, throw out bearing, misc. clutch release moving parts, clutch lines, RMS, tranny / selector shaft seals and bunch of other WYIT stuff on my touring.

Cost about $1K in parts ... saved ~ $1K+ in labor

Here is the old disc ...

New clutch shifts like butter with new shifter bushings / clutch components and redline in the tranny.

On to the next thing...
