A ridiculously cheap clutch mod that has transformed my E85 driving experience!

[inkey$]

This was the link I bought mine from. I’ve not tried fitting it yet, but the ad says its clearly not M spec/thread and mentions E85/86 in description with an alternate link for the M.

These were designed in a 2007 e85 bmw z4. Also tested in an e86.
*If your standard oem stop is a screw in, we now have a screw in clutch stop available. That can be found in the the z4m listing, or simply message and ask for the screw in version to test.

If you want a non-M version then this should be the link you use.

I’ve had the same issue, thread doesn’t fit.

I messaged before buying to confirm I was ordering the right part and he said it was.

I will also message to see what he says.

bit of insulation tape tightly wrapped around the thread will sort it, not like it will ever be seen

Yes this would work but I am not paying £13 for a tiny bit of plastic to then have to bodge it
I have messaged him he got straight back and said i could either have a full refund or he would send me a few sizes to try then send back the ones that dont.
He does seem like he wants to help and sort the issue

Hi all. How do you get the old clutch stop off the e85? Is it a screw or pull fit?

Many thanks

Again, same!

Not got a problem with someone who is trying to make something and a business of it so happy to support and recommend based on the customer service so far.

Thank you for your help

If it also doesn't work for me I’ll email him too. Strange that he’s selling for non-M cars but the thread isn’t correct. Its kind of the first thing you'd try to get right if you were producing model specific clutch stops.

[sw4nny]

I have sent him another email and he says he could do with a genuine e85 clutchstop,so ive agreed to let him send me a few different size stops i will find one that fits send the others back with my original stop.once he has the dimensions he sends my original back to me.
I am also willing to help a young business grow especially if hes making parts to improve our zeds

I can see from the photos in this link that this has a set of rings rather than a thread. This should be a fairly simple change - for example, with Autodesk Fusion 360, adding an M10 thread to a 10mm shaft is literally a two second job!

Just taken mine out (2007 3.0si e85) and it's a push fit, not a screw.
