Heavy Clutch on a KA24? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

spacedustpurp · 06-20-2012, 12:59 PM

Hello, i'm in the market for a 240. I test drove one today with a KA24 in it, and the clutch felt heavy. I don't know how else to explain it. I like everything about the car but this clutch is making me skeptical about purchasing it. Am i going to have to replace the clutch? I'm sorry this isn't much info to go on, but this is all i know on the car. Answer as best as you can please!

Thanks

If you like it, I suggest you start doing leg presses. Man up

I wasn't looking for a smart ass answer. You act pretty immature for your age sir. I've never driven a 240 before and the car i drove to test drive the 240 was a vw jetta. I could easily tell a difference between the two, but that was expected. I just wanted to make sure the clutch wasn't about to go before i bought the car.

Is it a stock clutch? Does it make any weird noises when engaging/disengaging? If I remember correctly (I haven't driven many other manuals lately) that my clutch is a bit stiffer than most otter cars I've had... Your probably fine

No one else has any input?

Proly just a stiff aftermarket clutch, ask what's in it? Any KA I have ever dove had a clutch that was was so easy to push it was like putting your foot in water. I personally like the stiff feel.

No matter if i'm a "noob" or not. And theres no need to be an asshole when you could just answer the question. People get mad because of internet hardasses like you and the guy that was rude before.
