clutch plate differences for R75/5?

dwnutsky · Dec 18, 2008

I need to replace the clutch plate on my 1971 R75/5 and have noticed two different types online - the regular plate (part number 21 21 1 251 803) and the clutch plate sport ( 21 21 1 236 332).

What is the difference between these plates, and is should I favor one over the other? I just need to replace the clutch plate and bolts, not the other clutch parts.

Thanks!

The RealOEM fiche only shows the -332 number:

Where did you find the other part number? RealOEM doesn't recognize the -803 number.

I originally found the -803 # at Hucky's BWM parts (http://www.bmwhucky.com/007521.html)

but it is also listed at this ECS tuning site:

It seems to be generally less expensive...

I see what you're talking about...strange that it doesn't show up on the usual fiche website...

If it's cheaper, it's probably of lesser quality. The -332 part indicates that it's by Fitchel & Sachs...the Sachs name is a known name I think. The -332 part is probably heavy duty while the other is not...

Give Hucky a call...
