Use crankshaft pulley bolt to rotate engine in direction of ro-
tation until a full pulse tooth
(arrow) is centered in pulse sen-
sor opening.
Measure depth from pulse sensor mounting surface on trans-
mission to top of tooth.
Q Measure length (A) of pulse sensor from mounting surface to
end.
- Subtract length of pulse sensor (A) from distance to pulse
tooth from mounting area on transmission. This resulting
measurement is the pulse sensor air gap. Use shims avail-
able from
BMW to adjust air gap to specification.

Clutch, installing (new SAC components)
V-8 models and 1998 and later 6 cylinder models are
equipped with the self-adjusting clutch (SAC) pressure plate.
The SAC pressure plate, when new, comes from the factory
with a lock plate at the center which maintains spring tension
on the self-adjusting springs. This
loclting ring must not be re-
moved until the pressure plate is securely installed on tlie fly-
wheel with the clutch disk in place.
CAUTION-
Avoidcontaminating clutch friction surfaces with oilorgrease.
Do not touch these surfaces.
< Center clutch disc on flywheel using centering tool.

Self-adjusting clutch (SAC), breaking in
With normal driving, 800 to 1000 gearshifts are required to
break in the clutch.
Break in the SAC gradually, with light to medium loads, to en-
sure correct operation and long life. Fast sports driving ma-
neuvers may destroy a new
clutch.The following break-in
procedure helps to create the correct coefficient of friction.
Drive normally on level grade. Starting speeds on level
grade may be up to 2000 rpm.
Upshift and downshift through all the gears at 3500
- 4000
rpm.
On medium grades (approx. 12% and up), start
off at ap-
prox. 2500 rpm for the first 5 or so times.
