Finally installed my M90. I did it over two weekends. I used the M46 flywheel/PP and disk.
Yellow PP and Carbon fiber clutch disk were purchased from Clutchnet. M46 23 tooth spline section on the disk was substituted with a 20 tooth spline . Over all I have to say that it's been the toughest job to date that I have performed on my car. When I say tough, I mean how labor intensive the job really is. Probably because of how heavy of a beast the aw71 is. I put the car up on four jack stands and used a hydraulic tranny jack with the articulating plate. I tell you that jack is worth it's money in gold three times over. Complexity wise I think the job was pretty easy. All the right tools is a definite must for all those comtemplating the task. As for driving impressions, don't really have any. The car is currently off the road(no plates). Has been for the past couple of months. I did do a quick late night around the block test drive and hoped for the cops not to catch me. I have to say that it is a very sweet shifting transmission. It has a higher end feel to it when compared to the M46. I also wanted to test drive the 3:31 rear I installed. The 3:73 made the engine run out of revs at very low mph. Everything checked out ok on my brief test drive so i'm happy. I plan on putting it on the road again as soon as I sell my 90 740T.
Edit: Many thanks to all those who have undergone similar conversions and posted info about them. Through many hours of searching and countless pm's I was able to gather all the tid-bits of info needed to make this conversion possible. If any of you have any questions regarding any of the work I have performed on my car. Please feel free to ask.
I'm also showcasing my new black 1997 960 interior.
Enjoy
