This guide contain step by step ho to replace BMW E36 clutch, lets begin from the first step : remove all this crap. The exhaust is best dealt with by dropping it in one whole piece from front to back. The connection points are easy enough to find, so I won’t go into that. Careful with the nuts on the exhaust manifold- hit them with PB Blaster first, let it soak in for a half hour or so, and then attack them. Remove the clutch slave cylinder (2 nuts) and unclip the wiring harness for the backup light switch. Release the O2 sensor harness(es) from their brackets on the transmission crossmember, if applicable. Tie everything up and out of the way. Support the tranny with a floor jack and remove the tranny support bracket (crossmember). Leave the tranny bushings intact; just loosen its top nuts to slide the assembly off. Note the dirt circles in the photo left by the 4 bolts on the crossmember. Use a Sharpie to outline the bolts and bracket of the center bearing before removing it. It should be put back in the same orientation to keep the driveshaft aligned. Ultimately, this means it should be centered and pulled forward- there should be no slack at the rear section of the driveline. So if you mark it before removing, there should be no worries. Finally, you’re on to the transmission itself, which should still be supported with a floor jack. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (-) CABLE BEFORE THIS STEP or you will get the shock of your life when you mess with the starter! Some bellhousings have 11, but mine only had 10 bolts. Except for one on the passenger side (which was a standard hex head), they’re all external Torx bolts. Which is a good thing, because the sockets tend to stay on them better. This means you can reach in through the engine bay, place the socket onto the bolt head without it falling off, then come back underneath the car and attach the extensions and ratchet onto it- you’ll end up doing this for the upper bolts on the driver’s side.
