PMC Motorsport Stage 2 – clutch kit Toyota JZ 1JZ 2JZ – 6-speed manual BMW N54 ZF GS6-53BZ 135i 335i 535i – 215 mm / 8.46" Twin disc – Sachs XTend 3000 950 709 – max. 700 Nm / 516 lb⋅ft
Complete Stage 2 clutch kit enabling the connection (swap / conversion) of the Toyota JZ 1JZ 2JZ engine (GE, GTE, VVT-i, and non VVT-i versions) with the manual 6-speed ZF GS6-53BZ gearbox used in BMW with the N54 engine. The kit includes a gearbox adapter plate, custom PMC Motorsport flywheel for a 215 mm twin-disc clutch, and a Sachs XTend 3000 950 709 twin-disc clutch from the BMW E9x M3 V8 – self-adjusting pressure plate, two clutch discs, and a release bearing with clutch release fork. The maximum torque capacity of the kit is 700 Nm (516 lb⋅ft). An ideal solution for high-power turbo projects – daily driving, drift, and motorsport.
Are you planning an engine swap of the Toyota JZ 1JZ 2JZ into your BMW (E30, E36, E46, E34, E39, E90, E91, E92, E60, E61, E81, E82, E87)? Our adapter plate is a reliable solution. Swap the automatic transmission for a BMW manual gearbox and unlock new possibilities.
PMC Motorsport adapters are not only for converting automatic transmissions to manuals in vehicles with the Toyota JZ 1JZ 2JZ engine, but also provide support for completing a JZ swap in BMW and other vehicles, such as Nissan (S13, S14, S15, PS13) or Mazda RX-7 / RX-8.
The aluminum gearbox adapter plate is designed to simplify gearbox installation as much as possible, avoiding radical steps like cutting off the entire bellhousing – only preparing the starter motor clearance is required. Custom flywheels dedicated to PMC Motorsport adapters are made of aluminum with a replaceable steel friction surface, inspected and balanced before shipment. Flywheel designed for a 215 mm (8.46") Sachs XTend 3000 950 709 (3000.950.709-S) twin-disc clutch from the BMW E9x M3 V8. Two friction discs handle higher torque than a single-disc clutch of the same diameter, while maintaining operating comfort thanks to the self-adjusting pressure plate. Adapter thickness: 20 mm (0.78").
PMC Motorsport gearbox adapters are synonymous with precision and top quality. A design process based on 3D scanning and inspection using a measuring arm ensure a perfect fit. Production on modern CNC machines guarantees ideal engine-gearbox concentricity, which is crucial for powertrain durability.
Our entire production and R&D department are located in Poland. Over 90% of components are manufactured in-house.

Additional information
PMC Motorsport parts are intended for motorsport and race track use.
Parts intended for installation by professionals with knowledge in engine swaps and vehicle modifications – in workshops and using properly adapted tools.
The adapter installation manual contains only basic knowledge necessary to physically connect the engine with the gearbox outside the car body.
Depending on your specific car, additional modifications may occur, such as: adjusting mounts, engine/gearbox mounts, firewall, transmission tunnel, driveshaft length, etc.
We manufacture our adapters using fully recyclable materials.
Installation instructions
For flywheel installation, it is necessary to use the automatic transmission starter ring gear (flexplate) Toyota OE 32101-30090 or 32101-22050 and a 4.5 mm spacer between the engine block and flexplate, Toyota OE 32116-22020 (not included in the kit). Bolt the flywheel to the crankshaft using the included bolts tightened to 72 Nm (53.1 lb⋅ft) with threadlocker. When installing the twin-disc kit, shorten the release bearing from the Sachs XTend kit – according to the diagram below. A Toyota JZ starter motor without an additional pinion cover must be used for mounting – details in the FAQ section.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which engines does this kit fit?
For Toyota JZ family engines: 1JZ (1JZ-FSE, 1JZ-GE, 1JZ-GTE) and 2JZ (2JZ-FSE, 2JZ-GE, 2JZ-GTE), in VVT-i and non VVT-i versions.
Which gearboxes fit the kit?
For the 6-speed manual ZF GS6-53BZ gearbox from BMW with N54 engines in HGX, JGD, JGF, JGK versions (E60 535i, E9x 335i, E8x 135i, Z4 35i) and GS6X53BZ HGY.
Do I need to cut the gearbox bellhousing?
No. The adapter was designed to avoid cutting the bellhousing – you only need to prepare the clearance hole for the starter motor.
Which additional parts do I need to buy for installation?
Automatic transmission starter ring gear (flexplate) Toyota 1JZ / 2JZ, OE 32101-30090 or 32101-22050, and one 4.5 mm spacer between the engine block and flexplate, Toyota OE 32116-22020. You also need a slave cylinder dedicated to your specific gearbox, as well as a Toyota JZ starter motor (see question below). These parts are not included in the kit.
Which clutch is included in the kit?
Sachs XTend 3000 950 709 (3000.950.709-S) twin-disc clutch from the BMW E9x M3 V8 with a 215 mm (8.46") diameter: self-adjusting pressure plate, two clutch discs with 32.5x35-26N splines (26 teeth) for the ZF GS6-53BZ gearbox, and a release bearing with a clutch release fork.
What torque capacity does the Stage 2 kit hold?
The maximum torque capacity of the kit is 700 Nm (516 lb⋅ft).
Do I need to modify the release bearing?
Yes. When installing the twin-disc kit, the release bearing from the Sachs XTend kit must be shortened. The method is shown in the diagram in the "Installation instructions" section.
Which starter motor should be used?
Toyota JZ starter motor without an additional pinion cover. The mounting method depends on the adapter version:
a) adapters produced up to 2022 – starter motor installs identically to the original equipment (OE);
b) adapters produced from 2022 to 2025 – one of the starter mounting holes in the engine block must be drilled out to ∅12.9–13.2 mm (0.507"–0.520") to a depth of 22 mm (0.866"), then use the sleeve from the AN 335-M10 kit and bolt with ISO 4762-M10x35 bolt;
c) adapters manufactured from January 2025 – the lower mounting hole in the starter motor must be enlarged to ∅12–13 mm diameter and the engine block tapped to M12x1.5.
Does the adapter also fit the ZF 8HP automatic transmission?
Yes. The PMC Motorsport gearbox adapter plate itself is universal and fits most BMW gearboxes (applies to adapters produced after 2022). When converting to a ZF 8HP automatic transmission, the standard flywheel must be replaced with a PMC Motorsport 8HP torque converter adapter.
What is included in the kit?
Aluminum gearbox adapter plate with mounting bolts, PMC Motorsport custom flywheel for a 215 mm twin-disc clutch with replaceable steel friction surface, crankshaft bolts, clutch pressure plate mounting bolts, and a Sachs XTend 3000 950 709 clutch kit (pressure plate, two discs, release bearing with clutch release fork).
Can I buy only the adapter or only the flywheel?
Yes. Every component of the kit is available separately – including the adapter plate itself with the flywheel, without the clutch.
Does the price include customs duty for shipments outside the European Union?
No. The product price and shipping estimate do not include customs duties or additional fees that may apply in the recipient's country.
Can I buy with 0% VAT?
Yes, if you are a B2B customer outside Poland with an active EU VAT number (verification in the VIES system) or ordering with shipping outside the EU.
Are the included instructions sufficient for installation?
The instructions describe connecting the engine to the gearbox outside the car body. Depending on the vehicle, additional modifications may be required: mounts, bushings, firewall, gearbox tunnel, driveshaft length. We recommend installation by professionals.
It is worth remembering that a lightweight rigid flywheel provides uncompromising throttle response at the expense of eliminating factory damping elements. This translates into a more direct drivetrain operation, which may result in a natural increase in the audibility of gearbox mechanisms. This is a desirable characteristic in sports vehicles, resulting from a rigid connection between the engine and the drive.
