Detailed Description

EXEDY OEM SC518 is a clutch slave cylinder used in the hydraulic clutch system to transfer pedal input into clutch release action. It is listed for BMW 318i, 318is, 318ti, 323i, 323is, 325i, 325is, 328i, 328is, and Z3 manual transmission applications across the 1990-1999 model years.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Soft or inconsistent clutch pedal feel
• Hydraulic clutch release problems
• Difficulty disengaging the clutch
• Fluid leakage at the slave cylinder
• Wear-related loss of clutch actuation on BMW manual transmissions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and clutch configuration before ordering. Confirm the listed disc size and spline count for your BMW application, including notes such as With Air Conditioning, With Air Conditioning & DMF, or the specified Z3 production range. Bleed the hydraulic system after installation to remove air from the clutch circuit and restore proper pedal operation.
