Proven Clutch and Flywheel Combos from VAC


This kit combines an excellent JB Racing flywheel and either an OEM or ClutchMasters clutch package for a no compromise solution for your BMW.
These are proven packages made from scratch to be a perfect match for your m50 / S50 family engine and trans.
Looking for excellent drivability, durability and pedal feel? This setup fits the bill and are made to perform! No M5 pressure plate mixed together kits here, we don't like those and the feel and durability are inferior! These kits offer much better drivability than other and are more durable under the stresses your BMW will see...

    Some of the benefits of this kit include:

  • Combo pricing on quality products for high value
  • Excelent power holding and longevity
  • Sprung hub design to reduce transmission / clutch chatter normally associated with light weight flywheel setups
  • Faster shifting and easier rev matching
  • A smoother revving engine, getting more power to the ground!
JB Racing Flywheel:

JB Racing is the manufacture of some of the finest flywheels around; used by many professional race teams to do precision machining for engines and other driveline components. Their made in USA BMW flywheels are produced with the same precision and quality that our customers and teams rely on. A JBR flywheel weights very little, but though superior engineering increases durability where it counts: matched to a Clutchmasters performance clutch, this combo package is actually weighs 1.5 pounds less than competitive M5 based kits- meaning more power gets to the wheels and you go faster!

This JBR Flywheel features:

  • CNC machined, zero-balanced to eliminate vibration
  • Weighs in at only 11 lbs
  • Replaceable hardened steel clutch surface, bolted - not riveted on
  • Heli-coil inserts for pressure plate- do not strip when clutch is replaced
  • Factory starter ring gear
  • Hardened steel gaul plate keeps the flywheel bolts from damaging flywheel
  • Addresses several concerns common to both street and track driven cars.
  • Flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, and dowel pins included

    OEM Clutch:
    With the factory OEM Sachs M3 clutch, you get the smoothness and operation BMWs engineers intended for the M3. If your not tracking or not planning to modify your car much past standard 250BHP power levels, this may be just the ticket.

    Clutchmasters Clutch:
    By adding a sprung hub disc, chatter and noise gained by adding a lightweight flywheel is greatly reduced or nearly eliminated. Depending on your car's use, we offer four options to match your needs:

  • ClutchMasters FX100 - Performance Organic - 40% higher holding capacity; works great up to 300WHP yet feels like stock or better! Superior alternative to 'M5' based kits
  • ClutchMasters FX200 - Kevlar - 70% higher capacity, very smooth engagement, very long lifespan (2-3 times) feels like stock, but most be broken in carefuly
  • ClutchMasters FX300 - Sintered Kevlar - Segmented kevlar surface, 110% more capacity than stock, long life but can be slipped, feels almost like stock pedal effort. Holds super well while being smooth, most be broken in properly.
  • ClutchMasters FX400 - 6-Puck Ceramic - hard use compound, gives up more smoothness for additional power handling capability - great for dual track use and hard street
  • ClutchMasters FX400 - 4-puck Ceramic - hard use, basicaly an on/ off switch for maximum power handling capability - recomended for track use only
    • Pressure plate - We increase the clamping force on the pressure plate by changing the lever action, which adds a minimal amount of pedal stiffness compared to other methods. We also replace the straps with beefier pieces and add an additional layer for good measure - this has proven to be the Achille's heel most pressure plates and is a must for cars that will receive any extended hard use.

    All kits include JB Racing aluminum lightweight flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate of choice, and throw-out bearing.
