You'll also want to check the starter for clearance. That thing caused me more pain that I can describe. It gets in the way and can cause that gap. Its either that or you may need to realign the clutch disk as mentioned earlier. It can be done without the tool, but the alignment tool does make it easier. __________________ SOLD!!! 1999 332ti //M Sport Titanium Silver M3 S52 3.2 I-6 Engine, M3 Clutch w/ ti Getrag Trans, Z3 3.15 LSD medium case diff and half shafts, OEM Hatch Spoiler, Eurosport HP Underdrive Pulleys, FDM, 17" DS1 rims, M3 Front Struts & Springs, M3 Instrument Cluster, 3-spoke //M steering wheel with tri-color stitching, SSK, CCFL Angels in Depo projectors with 5k HIDs |
