- Raise and safely support vehicle
WARNING-
Make sure the car is stable and well supporied at all times.
Use a professional automotive /iff orjack stands designed for
the
ournose. A floor jack is not adeouate suooort.
- If necessary, remove transmission splash shield.
- Disconnect fluid line from slave cylinder on lefl side of trans-
mission. Place pan under hose to catch dripping fluid.
4 Working underneath transmission, remove slave cylinder
mounting nuts (arrow) from clutch housing and remove
cylinder.
- Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Check for wear on slave cylinder. Any wear except on tip is
caused by misalignment of clutch components.
Lightly coat
pushrod tip with molybdenum disulfide grease
(MolyltoteIB Longterm or equivalent).
. During installation be sure pushrod tip engages recess in
clutch release lever.
Fill fluid reservoir with clean fluid.
. Bleed clutch hydraulics as described earlier.
Tightening

Clutch slave cylinder to transmission 22 Nm (16 R-lb)
Fluid line to slave cylinder 17 Nm (13 ft-lb)
The transmission must be removed from the engine to access
the clutch mechanical components. It is recommended that
the clutch disc, pressure plate and release bearing be re-
placed during a clutch overhaul.
Besure tocheck the bottom of the bellhousing foroil. If engine
oil is found, check for a faulty rear crankshaft main oil seal.
See
119 Lubrication for rear main seal replacement.
Clutch variations
Two versions of the clutch are used:
1997 528i (6 cylinder) uses traditional clutch components.
All
540i (V-8) and 1998 and later 6 cylinder models from
use a self-adjusting clutch (SAC).

described later.
- lnspect transmission pilot bearing in end of crankshaft. The
bearing should rotate smoothly without play. If necessary,
replace as described later.
4 lnspect and clean release bearing lever. Apply a thin coat of
grease to release bearing lever lubrication points (arrows).
Clean and lightly lubricate clutch disc splines and transmis-
sion input
shaft splines.
4 Checlc release bearing ball stud and spring retainer. Replace
if damaged or worn.
CAUTION--
On S6S 420G transmission, always replace release bearing
ball stud and retainer spring.
- Clean release bearing guide sleeve.
CA U TIOG
Do not grease guide sleeve. If guide sleeve is greased,
release bearing may stick to it.

(6 cylinder engine)
- lnspect flywheel for scoring, hot spots, cracks or loose or

Lock flywheel with BMW special tool
11 2 170. Remove
pressure plate and clutch disc as described earlier.
- Loosen and remove flywheel mounting bolts. Remove
flywheel.
- Clean flywheel bolt threads in crankshaft.

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.

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.

ELECTRONIC ~MMOBILIZATION (EWS)
E39 cars are equipped with a passive theft-prevention sys-
tem. The Electronic Immobilization System (EWS) makes it
impossible to
startthe engine using any means other than the
special lkeys furnished with the vehicle.
NOTE-
Replacement EWS control modules or DME control modules
must be electronically aligned to each before the vehicle will
start. This requires the use of the BMW Service Tester
(DIS-
plus, GT1, or MoDiC). Without alignment, the engine will not
crank (for example: swapping a
known good DME control
module into another vehicle for test purposes will result in a
no crank situation).
In the EWS system, the ignition key is embedded with
acom-
puter chip (EEPROM) and coded. The key communicates
with the vehicle using a transponder in the lkey and a ring an-
tenna surrounding the steering lock cylinder. Up to
6 replace-
ment keys are permissible. Only an authorized
BMW dealer
can provide replacement keys.
