i have a 98 528iA sport and i'm doing a 5-speed conversion. Im gathering all the parts. But i have a question if any one knows where does the clutch line goes after the clutch master cylinder? i saw on a web site a guy bleeding the clutch system and he is puting brake fluid in the master cylinder of the brake system. does that mean dat i need a master cylinder to connect the clutch to. so the clutch hooks to the brake master cylinder? (i'm guessing it does thats why it's hydraulic but what does the clutch master cylinder does?) if any one knows please tell me i got almost all the parts. tranny, drivesaft, etc....

Hi, I am currently doing the same thing to my 635. You need the complete pedal assy. from one with a 5 speed. The clutch cyllinder is on the assy.. It is fed from the same reservour as the brakes. The slave fits on the left side of bell housing. Have fun.

Yes I would like to know your progress, I am interested in doing the same thing... I have an M3 5 speed box on the way... and the M3 diff. This should make a difference.

By they way have you guys modified you 5's yet? Maybe we should start a 528i modified forum section... would love to hear from you.
