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 ...

Name: bad_clutch1_ce315.Large.jpg Views: 409 Size: 134.4 KB

Name: bad_clutch_2_d5e3f.Large.jpg Views: 413 Size: 95.4 KB

Name: bad_clutch_3_d8f4e.Large.jpg Views: 389 Size: 136.7 KB

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

On to the next thing...

Hmmm, so what do you think was causing the shifting issue?

How did that not cause any damage to your drivetrain?
