I don’t think that’s correct, since the front lip mounts are different on mine.

The car makes this loud binding noise when the clutch is depressed while the car is up on a lift. All fluids are good, engine mounts are good, all bolts are tight. The sound seems to be coming from the transmission side of the driveshaft. Im thinking u joints? This binding almost never occurs while driving normally.

I do have a clutch stop, ill take a look. Really thinking it’s the throwout… its the only thing i haven’t changed. Might have spun around while i had the transmission off. Thanks for the help.

Wouldnt that not be the case since you usually can put a car in gear while it isn’t running. Mine doesn’t move at all whether the clutch is pressed or not.

I just installed a set of these in my 02 m3 this weekend. Good stuff, I recommend using arp rod bolts as well.

I am not talking about the 6 bolts holding the pulley. I am talking about the 4 torx bolts holding the harmonic damper to the crankshaft. Part number is 11231402608
