sb280z Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 When putting a close ratio 5 speed in a 76 280 2seater will the origanal throw- out bear collor and clutch fork work? Can the U joints on the drive shaft be replaced? If not where can I get one with new u joints? sb280z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The original throwout bearing and collar work best, because nissan put in different height collars over the years, so make sure you use the one that matches your clutch and flywheel (ie. whatever combination is working now.) Also when removing those parts it helps if you clean off all the grease in the bellhousing with some engine degreaser. I couldn't figure out how to undo the clips on the throwout bearing and fork until I removed all the caked on grease. I don't know about the drive shaft so I won't say anything about that. good luck with the install! -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 you can buy a new driveshaft through msa. I don't remember how much it was but it as removable u joints. I had to replace mine a while back and that is what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
