OS Giken BMW E36 S50 Super Single Alum Dampened Single Plate Clutch

What you get with this OS Giken Super Single clutch kit is a complete package designed specifically for your 1995-1999 BMW M3. This includes the clutch disc itself, a lightweight aluminum flywheel, a pressure plate, and a release bearing. This is a single-plate clutch system, meaning it uses one clutch disc to transfer power from the engine to the transmission. The dampened design of the clutch disc helps absorb some of the shock and vibration that can come with aggressive driving or performance modifications, making for a smoother engagement than a non-dampened unit.

OS Giken is known for making well-built drivetrain components, and this clutch is no exception. The aluminum flywheel is significantly lighter than the stock dual-mass flywheel, which helps the engine rev more freely and can improve throttle response. This weight reduction also helps reduce rotational mass, which can make a noticeable difference in how quickly your M3 accelerates. The pressure plate is engineered to provide a solid clamping force, ensuring that the clutch can handle the power output of the S50 engine. The inclusion of a release bearing means you have most of what you need to get the job done.

When installing a performance clutch like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Because this is a single-plate setup and uses an aluminum flywheel, you'll likely notice a more direct feel when engaging the clutch compared to the stock setup. This can take a little getting used to, but many drivers find it worth it for the improved performance and feedback it offers. Make sure to check if any specialized tools or alignment tools are recommended by OS Giken for the installation process.
