JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I just installed a new stock clutch in my '71Z and it is slipping badly. Basically the clutch has no friction at all until the very top, then when it does engage is slips horribly. I just got my turbo motor running and went to take the car out for a ride after I put the new clutch in and oooooooohhh no acceleration due to clutch problem. I used the 240z flywheel and bought a 240z clutch kit for it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 umm maybe some clutch hydraulic problems? maybe some adjustments can be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Isn't the 240's clutch self-ajusting? What could be ajusted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 i think you can addjust the push rod on the slave cylinder and the clutch pedal.... What about the bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm a little embarrassed here as I am learning, but is it the piolet bearing you're talking about? That big bearing that comes with the clutch kit; I did change that. As for your other suggestions, I was not aware that that could be done. Thanks for the tip, I'll look at it first thing tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 What is your setup? l28et with which trany? If the 5 speed trany you might need the old bearing collar off the 240z trany I'm not guru on this subject just tring to help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have a stock 240z clutch setup matted to a '83zxt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I do not want to have to pull the engine again. I checked my clutch ajustment at the pedal and it's as far out as it will go. I don't think there is anywhere else to ajust it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okimoto Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 try at the slave cylinder. it might be the older adjustable kind with the screw-able pushrod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Do you mean that rod that comes through the firewall that has a C-clamp on it? Do you know which way this push-rod should be ajusted to increase clutch to flywheel pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessZ Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I finally found my Chiltons; you're right Okimoto. I've never done a clutch before. My last two cars were automatics. Sweet maybe I can burn some rubber tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
