I have a 1984 Nissan 300zx Turbo V6 3.0L Z31, I dunno what is wrong with it which is why i am posting this, But I think it is the tranny/clutch kit, This is what happens, I start the car and put it in 1st/2nd gear and when i put the clyutch out and give it gas the cars rpms go up to 7,000rpm and the car will only get up two 8mph, Yesterday it was running fine except I did notice that the car is letting off a bad smell, Which is why i think it is the clutch, Plz any help/advice/tips is much appriciated. I need to fix this so ui can drive to work lol, so help me out here cause i dont wanna pay for a diagnostics if i dont have too.

Sounds like the clutch has gone bad. It could be that the rear main oil seal on your engine failed and leaked oil onto the clutch.

Either that or the clutch simply wore out.

The only other possibility is that the clutch slave cylinder jammed in the extended position and won't let the clutch engage.

Burnt up the clutch on the highway.

My sister once told me on the phone she was stranded between two hills and her car was going "seven" all the way from baltimore to D.C.

When I got there, she pointed to the tach.

When I got it apart, the entire flywheel was purple and orange and full of big cracks on the friction surface.
