Guest tom sixbey Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 i'm temporarily installing a 280zx 5 speed to my L24. - my question regards the clutch.. - should i use the 240's flywheel and clutch, or use the 280zx flywheel and clutch assembly.. i was going to get the 280zx clutch parts, but i was afraid that the ZX flywheel might cause an imbalance problem...

jeromio Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I dunno if this will help you, but: I had an L28 with an L24 flywheel and clutch from a 4spd that I used with a ZX 5 speed. I had to use the 4spd clutch fork since I used the 4spd slave cylinder. It all worked very well, but then the clutch springs wore out prematurely. Everything else about that (probably old - on the car when I bought it) clutch and pressure plate looked fine. The throwout bearing was pretty gunky, but the disc looked like it had alot of life left in it. Springs were just shot I guess. It had started to rattle and shifting got rougher and rougher until it just didn't work anymore. I then installed a ZX clutch. But visually, both clutches looked identical to me (except for the one being shiny and new). I don't know what if any differences there are betwixt the various clutch/flywheel setups.

Guest Anonymous Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 AFAIK, all of the nissan clutches are the same, except for the 2+2 models, which had a larger contact area. And again, I beleive even this clutch is interchangable on an L series engine, which many people use when doing a turbo conversion using a nissan trans (as opposed to the borg warner) So, yes, you should be able to use your 240 clutch fine. I'm praying to the car gods I'm right Anyone going to correct me on this? Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
