BMW Guibo / Flex Disc Information

Article by: Mike Oswald

Article applies to: all BMWs with a manual or SMG transmission (and some select automatics – such as e34s).

 

All BMWs with a manual or SMG transmission (even some select automatics too) have a guibo (also known as a flex disc).

This disk is located between the output shaft of the transmission and the front half shaft (tri-flange) of the drive shaft.

The purpose of this doughnut is to provide shock dampening between shift events in the drive train:

This shock dampening is in addition to either a dual-mass flywheel (which has springs installed to reduce shock), or a single-mass flywheel with a sprung hub clutch (also designed to dampen shock).

Shock (in addition to heat), is the enemy of any transmission.

I would, as an example not recommend solid metal “guibos” as they offer no shock dampening and will contribute to the eventual failure of your transmission, driveshaft . . . or both.

Below is a table of applicable guibo / flex discs for all BMWs.

A thank you to PowerTrain Industries for the data in this list.
