240devilz Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 hi everyone, first my name is manello i'm from quebec, canada so sorry if my english is poor i'll try my best . i have 72 240z, i've been restoring it since five years, lot of forum here help me out with my z. I have 350chevy engine mount to a t5 borg warner, jtr mounting kit. my problem is that the gears wont engage when the engine is running. I have a the jtr book and make my setup with this . I currently have a .75 titlton master , 24inch braided -4 hose mount to oem plastic camaro slave. everything is new. i bleeded the clutch and everything is ok no air in the line. i really feel that i have a clutch, but its not working. i begin thinking that my fork on the transmission dont make enough travel...it move about 1 1/2inch rearward ...is that enough!? i really dont see anything else it could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 You may need a 7/8" master. Also make sure everything is bled right, this can sometimes be a pain.

sweetride2go Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 +1 on the larger master. I had to go to a 1" for my T56, something with the datsun clutch pedal geometry wouldn't allow for full travel on the master, so I compensated with a larger bore. Unfortunately, this made the pedal stiffer. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 7/8 MC is what works with the T5 Camaro slave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peej410 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Bleeding a clutch is deceptively difficult. Going extremely slow with the pedal helps a great deal. You can make something like this as well, http://www.bavauto.com/fland.asp?part=CBT%20TOOL&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googlebase&utm_source=CBT%20TOOL&gclid=CP33o-nr6LcCFUyk4AodbDUAhA Just make sure you only depress the pedal when the valve is open or parts will go flying and you will break your tool. Though apparently you need a larger master, either route you go, a tool like this is helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
