rudypoochris Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Stock 240z, had a loud throw out/clutch release bearing, spent 5 hours changing it yesterday, today I finally start it up, its no good. The car doesn't move with the clutch out in gear. No weird noises. Jack the car up in the rear, prop shaft turns no matter what the gear. Clutch slave is depressing the fork, any gear is selectable with engine running clutch in or out. I can't figure this one out for the life of me. The engine and trans are bolted flush, there was a clutch in before, so I assume the disk can't fall down, can it? I just lined them up and it went straight in the first try. The only possible thing I could think of is that somehow the clutch fork isn't contacting the throw out, but is that possible? EDIT: By the way I am using a 1981 5-speed 280zx NA sleeve, but a 240z throw out. Not from a 2+2 though. They looked the same when I installed it. Incase that might matter.

Evan Purple240zt Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sounds like you need to adjust your clutch pedal free play. Either that or the throwout bearing isn't seated well on the fork for the clutch release. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Yep, that was it, got it fixed a couple days back. So simple in retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 What was it? It needed adjusting, or the bearing wasn't seated making the assembly too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 What was it? It needed adjusting, or the bearing wasn't seated making the assembly too long? Needed adjusting. It needs to be adjusted even more though as I detect slip in 4th gear under full load. I assume the bearing is seated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
