Original BMW Clutch Alignment Tool 212270 for BMW 135i, 335i, 335is, 535i, and Z4 sDrive35i (2007–2016)

The Original BMW clutch alignment tool, designation 212270, is used to align the clutch correctly during installation on the BMW 135i, 335i, 335is, 535i, and Z4 sDrive35i from 2007 to 2016. BMW designed this tool specifically to align a clutch on the N54 engine. A clutch alignment tool holds the clutch disc centered against the flywheel while the pressure plate is bolted down, so the transmission input shaft can pass through the disc splines when the gearbox goes back in. The tool is made in Germany.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Universal alignment sets use stepped adapters meant to cover many cars. This tool is specific to the N54, which is why it is matched to the N54 models in the fitment below. It stays with your tools and does not go into the car, so it is available for the next clutch job on the same engine.
