Anyone have the part number for the Sachs release bearing for the e21 5 speed conversion?

Go here and do some research under upgrades, transmissions

I believe it is different depending on which flywheel you have. do a search and know which flywheel you have, it will either be the 320 or longer 323 throwout bearing.

 

The 215mm clutch can use the standard 320i bearing, if you have a 228mm clutch then you need the longer 323i bearing

 

I am not sure these part #'s are current but this is what I have in my notes:

320i bearing:  21 51 7 521 471

323i bearing:  21 51 1 204 525
