Thank you for taking the time to do this. I've been researching the @#$2 out of this DIY and you're the first one who actually covered the orientation of the guibo/flex disc/coupler correctly.
Careful with aftermarket flex-disks.. mine came with the arrows molded BACKWARDS, which would've make me install in incorrectly if I followed them. You nailed it when you said the driveshaft moves counterclockwise. Transmission output should "push" into the driveshaft, in each of the 3 beefy links of the flex-disk. Transmission bolt first, THEN driveshaft bolt - always!
So awesome when people figure out solutions to problems and do a proper video about it! And so glad I came across it. I don't have this problem but my BMW is getting on a bit and I will be replacing everything underneath that is made of rubber sooner or later and I had no idea about any of this.
Thank you for the great explanation. You mimicked the sound perfectly haha. Mine does the exact same thing... I'm doing diff bushing at this point so will work my way up to the flex disk soon.
This is the best explained quibo video on RUclips! Good Job sir ! Mine was installed wrong from dealer as well! Plus the aftermarket one I got had arrows backwards. Go oem on this part !
Dude! Thank you for this!! I just got a 325i sedan with an auto transmission, and this clunking is going down just as it's engaging past 2nd gear evert time. Good info here!!!
I am about to this job on my '02 BMW 530i; that is, changing the GUIBO, Center Support Bearing and if needed, the Driveshaft Centering Sleeve. I have been mentally gearing up for the task but have been hesitant because I have questioned the proper orientation of the GUIBO, given the molded arrows and its true orientation. This video clearly provides me with the GUIBO orientation, as factual information. Thank you for your candor and attention to the fine details. Starting in a few days just waiting on a part or two from ECS. I truly feel ready for this!
This has got to be the nicest comment I've ever read. Man you just lifted my day. I would say best of luck with your project but you don't need luck, you got this! Enjoy the reward.
@@mrjgueret Seems there was a shipment delay on my order of parts, the transmission and engine mounts are to be shipped direct from manufacturer. Once those arrive, my project will commence. Patiently standing by for delivery of parts. I am ready!
@@mrjgueret OK, so I completed this task on October 6th, took about 11 hours to do this job, spanning two days. I had one heck of a time getting the guide sleeve off the driveshaft. Other than that, all went well with the replacement of the Febi brand Flex-Disc (GUIBO), Center Support Bearing (CSB), Drive shaft centering sleeve and a fresh repack the rear CV bearings using Redline CV-2 Synthetic grease and a new CV joint gasket. While there, I replaced the Transmission and Engine mounts, seemed like a good time to do it. It is worth mentioning that 3 of the 6 bolts on the GUIBO are longer than the other 3 which have washers, as sandwiched between the GUIBO and driveshaft (a clue) that they are to be installed on the aluminum drive shaft, which prevents galling or dis-similar metal from occurring on the GUIBO, I suppose. Per your very informative video presentation, I was able to quickly identify the proper orientation of the arrows manufactured on the GUIBO itself. I highlighted, with a yellow paint pen, the arrows pointing towards the transmission prior to install. This is likely not needed but it did help me when installing bolts on the driveshaft prior to mounting on the output shaft of the transmission. Overall a success, a not-so-easy job using two separate floor jacks to lift and lower the engine/transmission and being careful with the exhaust system being supported at the rear of the car. I discovered that I could not removed the exhaust bolts as they were rusted and would break if I attempted to remove the exhaust. That is another small job, reserved for another day. Thank you and it is my hope that my personal experience and input adds to the quality of your video and somebody else benefits in performing this very technical task. To date; (11/8/2021) the BMW runs great, no clunks when braking or accelerating just super-smooth shifting through the gears. It is a mental game that one has to overcome as I lived with that alarming clunk for a while especially while accelerating. Crazy how we get conditioned to a certain "thing" and when it is repaired, we still look for that clunking noise. Thanks again! J.R., in Littleton, Colorado
Lol I was driving my 530i around with that gear clashing noise for like 20k miles before I found your video, previous owner installed the flex disk wrong. Thanks man.
great video. Love how you explain things. Going to be pulling my driveshaft to try and sort an aggressive rapid knocking that only happens at 30-40km/h and then goes away. Pre-emptively bought a flex disk and center support. And now I know how to make sure this shit is oriented correctly. Cheers!
Spent a lot of time trying figure this out, on the forums it's all about diffs, RSM, center support bearings, etc... I have to check mine to see if it's indeed installed incorrectly. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job explaining the orientation requirement mate. Illuminating one of those little knowledge "dark spots" that even some dealer workshops have...apparently.
you are right, all of the forums are incorrect on this. you have described the problem i have perfectly and i can finally fix my z3! thank you so much. I'll let you know how it goes! The impression you made was actually very very accurate hah Best video on RUclips! Pete
Omg bro you have no idea the headache you saved me. I replaced my flexpack too and I noticed I had the same problem even after installing a new one from Amazon. Well to my surprise I found out that it was a cheap China knockoff that’s floating around and it has the arrow pointing in the wrong direction. So even if you followed the arrow you would still install it wrong. This video helped understand how it supposed to work and once I took apart a second time I realized it was installed backwards. By now it’s all to shit so time to put another one.
good think I made some research before installing on my xk8 good stuff 🙏 my jag would rumble under acceleration really loud. the thing was completely torn with strands of ropes coming out of it 🤣
An easy way BMW offers to have the disc in correct position is that 'the arrows should point to the flange arms' (in both directions, that is alternately, one arrow points to the transmission flange, the next one points to the propeller flange)
Very good to add, and as I stated arrow should point to trans flange. The outcome of following that direction would indeed cause the adjacent arrows to point toward propeller shaft. Thanks for your comment. it helps this video move ahead of the videos that mention nothing at all about how to install this disk correctly. happy motoring.
Thanks brother. As soon as you said ackackacka I was on board. I always attributed it to my clutch.. For over 10k miles.. I only bothered to look at the flex disk after i started getting a mean rumble on acceleration. Maybe I need to be hanging it up, lol.
Ended up here from my recommendation list. Watched it for fun n man i need to crawl under my car and make sure mine is installed correctly. My stick e46 has a clunk whenever im shifting. My flex disk has cracks in it but the cluck i feel is from the back. I cant mimic the sound obviously. But it feels like as if the rubber part in the diff bushing or in some suspension part is gone and metal is hitting metal whenever the driveline engages and disengages. Found one crack near the subframe mounting point. Need to investigate more in day light. Glad i came across this as im planning on doing the flex disk n carrier bearing.
5Riverz yeah subframe mounts or rear diff mounts is what I was thinking. if you put the car on 4 solid jack stands, set the emergency brake real tight, have someone else give it torque in first gear and do the same in reverse you can watch the horror show unfold underneath the car. just be careful try and stay out from underneath unless you trust your jack stands..
not always simple. i had every bush replaced on my e46 m3 full resto. then had the cluck. My guibo replaced, we think its the cv at end of shaft im hoping, thats my next thing to do. But your video great as im gonna check they installed mine correct
Im gonna say It in english ....you are FKG Awesome!!!!...now in spanish... eres unnn chingonazooo!!! Four thumbs upppp!!! Greetings from Cozumel the Caribbean...just about to do this job next week...now i know how should be done makes all the Sense in the World the thickest part to compress and the thinest to keep the piece together...( Sorry for my english)...right on dudeee!! Thanks for the lesson just nedded yo see It once to get It ,....this info ITS MONEY!! LOL THANKS!!!
A transmission output flange bolt must occupy a hole in the flex disc who's arrow is facing the transmission flange. I'd rather word it that way to clear up any confusion. Thank you for your compliment and thank you for watching.
I have a e70 50i x5 xdrive when I let off the brake and press the accelerator I get a big thud I was on the outside of my car and I saw the wheels shudder I need help will replacing this part help? I need ur expert opinion thank u!
Hey. I have an E46 M3 and it does this "kaka kaka kak" kind of rattle you mimic here when I press the clutch in reverse or 1st gear at parking speeds...around 1000-1500 rpm. It does it especially. when I give a bit of gas, engine revs to this range and then quickly let off the throttle and press the clutch. It does not do it it higher gears. If I pay attention and slowly press the clutch when I park, I can - most of the time - avoid the rattle. Clutch and flywheel is new. Sounds like it could be the flex disc. Although my mechanic said they did not see anything being worn out when they replaced the clutch, I will have the flex disc replaced now. If it solves the rattle, that would be a cure for something I have since I bought the car (1year, 10'000 miles ago)😀
Zsolt Szabó yes, replace the disk with oem or trusted quality replacement. make sure to install as instructed here. if you follow the video closely you will understand that you will always have the clatter in reverse when depressing the clutch rapidly. nature of the beast, you can't have it both ways.
I don't even have this issue, but I fucking love the way you explain this! hahaha I wish you were the one explaining how to get the side windows out to replace that plastic crap piece, and the seats to replace that plastic crap piece. hahaha
James Hall , dude that's hilarious! When we bought the car both windows wouldn't go up and down. I cleaned all the tracking and replaced the piece of crap plastic pieces you speak of. You're right it's too bad I didn't do a video of that. There actually is a nice way to do it and a butcher way to do it. Unfortunately the butcher had already reached this car, but after rebuilding the door panel I've pretty much undone The Butchery! I'll definitely do a video the next time I'm in the door but I doubt it'll be anytime soon. Remember if you have door airbags and unplug them it will set a code that will need to be cleared. Good luck with your endeavors thanks for the comment.
Thank you for that very interesting info. I'm getting ready to pull my driveshaft to replace the guibo and center bearing on my 2013 X3. I want to replace the U joins to but haven't found a replace part number for them because the OEM ones are staked in. I want to replace them with a U join with the inside clips. Anyone have a number.
i subscribed. great video. went to bmw mechanic, with new part. ( flex disk) for girlfriend. said she needed new tranny. uh huh! yep his son installed flex disk wrong. she gets three free oil changes for messup. and we dont tell anyone. all work done free , plus refund for first screwup! see i drove it and just knew the tranny was fine.( rebuilt many , when younger) and then found your video. feel like i owe you a 12pack. lol!!
thanks for the info.....would that part (if broken) in an 17 2SS A8 Camaro cause a "clunk"?......i have changed the diff fluid, also added the posi additive, still chasing the sound..(started after a few hard digs on concrete)......apprecieate your time, and thank you again for the video.
Obviously hard to diagnose anything from over here but when you were doing those hard digs (assuming you mean spinning tires) on the concrete were there any points at which you were heavily engaged in turning. If your car has limited slip and you remove all pressure from the inside tire, there is a possibility you can cause damage to the limited-slip chuck and spider gears and spider shaft. Have you jacked it up and tried feeling your differential. If it's sloppy you may want to take a closer look with the cover off. Limited-slip differentials are only good for helping lock right and left together while going straight. Too much power\traction to one tire could burn through a friction pack.
@@mrjgueret it was in a straight line....I haven't removed the cover as if yet....those cars have the independent rear suspension....so covers are on the side...with the car on stands it doesn't sound abnormal rotating the wheels..on the ground the cluck is .only when put into gear forward or reverse......I am not a auto tech....so my repair skills are limited......just did not want to be bent over by someone saying I need this, that, and the whole other.....

Dude that is a great comment, I wish I could have included that in the video. Never trust anybody.
I installed a new febi disc like you show in the video, but still have the same problem!?I need some help.
Do not put anything after market on a bmw engine or moving parts or suspension
@@gottgaame lol, go broke maintaining a $5,000 used BMW instead... I wouldn't go that far.
So awesome when people figure out solutions to problems and do a proper video about it! And so glad I came across it. I don't have this problem but my BMW is getting on a bit and I will be replacing everything underneath that is made of rubber sooner or later and I had no idea about any of this.
Tad Ka thank you for your wonderful comment. I myself rely on videos just like this.
Thank you for the great explanation. You mimicked the sound perfectly haha. Mine does the exact same thing... I'm doing diff bushing at this point so will work my way up to the flex disk soon.
I say this is a perfect explanation and helped me solve all my issues with the guibo flange mounting, since my mount didn't come with arrows...thanks!
Thanks my e46 330d i thought it was killing my diff.
Exactly the sound you talking about.
Especially hard changes .
THANKS A MILLION
"hang it up" lmao
Thank you. You put it where a person like me, disabled veteran, TBI, understands. Thank You and people like you.

I have a same sound on my E81 on first gear so i'm gonna check this tomorrow. Thanks for the explanation
Nice job explaining the orientation requirement mate. Illuminating one of those little knowledge "dark spots" that even some dealer workshops have...apparently.
first explanation I've seen of how the guibo works! Thx!
DANG!! Freakin awesome. I never would have thought of this. Nice dang work.
Clear& concise, excellent video👍🏾👍🏾, promote above peers
very well explained, thank you for saving me the time of searching. Great video and proper sound effects :D
thanks for the great tips! about to replace mine. Did my clutch + flywheel install myself and must have not done this correctly. Cheers!
Exactally what i was looking for! Cheers bro!!
Straight to the point !!! Awesome video !!
You are a legend bro!! Thankyou.. Im gonna go and check this tomorrow cus my driveline is bouncy as fcuk and i never understood why..
GOAT level video man thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
great info, I am about to do my flex disk and this is very helpful, thank you,
2019 and good advice recieved :)
Thanks.
Clear, simple and above all: logical!
I thank you for Translating from the Mind of a German Engineer how to properly Install the Flex Disc and the Logic as to the Function of the Disk
Damn, thanks so much, gonna realign this when I get home
- also thanks AKGC gencoupe forum
I already knew about the arrows around the outside. Now I know exactly why that matters. Thanks
you are right, all of the forums are incorrect on this. you have described the problem i have perfectly and i can finally fix my z3! thank you so much. I'll let you know how it goes!

Love it man spot on
Very informative, thank you.
Definitely you deserve for glass Scottish 🥃🥃🥃!! 👍👊💪 Great job mate!!
hahahaha
love it - thanks for the video - much appreciated
Sometimes is not Flex disc but you stater the most easy fix
Ended up here from my recommendation list. Watched it for fun n man i need to crawl under my car and make sure mine is installed correctly. My stick e46 has a clunk whenever im shifting. My flex disk has cracks in it but the cluck i feel is from the back. I cant mimic the sound obviously. But it feels like as if the rubber part in the diff bushing or in some suspension part is gone and metal is hitting metal whenever the driveline engages and disengages.

Very observant. Good info.
Great instructions and sir I understood your video to a tee thnks*
“if you dont you should find another hobby” 😂😂
Very informative thanks!
not always simple. i had every bush replaced on my e46 m3 full resto. then had the cluck. My guibo replaced, we think its the cv at end of shaft im hoping, thats my next thing to do. But your video great as im gonna check they installed mine correct
I never hit like but that KAKAKA sound was dead on lmao
Dude. Best explaination! Funny too! (Y)
thx for the detailed explanation, found this useful.
Doing the Lord's work here.
When you care about the arrows you are automatically doing it correct, right?
Finally after 2 years I’ve search Someone figures it out👍
Thank you for the video
Very good video 🔧⚙️
Nailed it! Cheers
Im gonna say It in english ....you are FKG Awesome!!!!...now in spanish... eres unnn chingonazooo!!! Four thumbs upppp!!!

Thanks for the lesson just nedded yo see It once to get It ,....this info ITS MONEY!! LOL THANKS!!!
i have a single clunk noise everytime i put into D or R. will this be the issue as well.
Great video very informative. Is it correct to say that the moulded arrows should always face the flange arms?
A transmission output flange bolt must occupy a hole in the flex disc who's arrow is facing the transmission flange. I'd rather word it that way to clear up any confusion. Thank you for your compliment and thank you for watching.
Thank you I owe you a beer.
I have a e70 50i x5 xdrive when I let off the brake and press the accelerator I get a big thud I was on the outside of my car and I saw the wheels shudder I need help will replacing this part help? I need ur expert opinion thank u!
Yeah he made the sound pretty accurately
This video was SO good that I’m going to buy a used BMW just to make that noise!! 😂
This dude is super smart. Listen to what he says.
Dude just saved me money
Have you ever done the center driveline baring?
my e36 does the clack clack clack under acceleration, is it the same error?
Lmaaoooo just did mine.... test run now 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
nice info
Nice
Thank you!
For clarity it’s tension, not “stretching force”
Your a legend. Cheers for that knowledge.
