Clutch replacement, need help! KA24de - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

TyUSMC0814 · 08-15-2012, 03:51 PM

I have a new full clutch kit. The only problem is I don't know how to disconnect my driveshaft or where exactly the tranny mounts are. I have all the tools I would ever need. And a lift if need be but I've never done anything drivetrain wise. I just would like some instruction and pictures if possible. I'm not incompetent and usually when I look around the area I'm working, I'll find stuff. Any help please?

I'll bite:

1. Unbolt the 4 14mm bolts holding the driveshaft to the diff
2. unbolt the 2 17mm driveshaft carrier bracket bolts & pull the driveshaft from out of the trans
3. drain tranny oil
4. unbolt 4 17mm bolts on the tranny crossmember (while supporting trans with a jack)
5. lower the jack under the tranny so the whole engine/tranny tilts backwards
6. unplug wiring from tranny sensors, remove shift lever
7. use a whole bunch of extensions & a 14mm socket to reach the bellhousing bolts & loosen. be careful not to let the starter fall out of the tranny (you should probably disconnect the starter wiring, or at least the battery)
8. pull trans off the engine
9. remove pressure plate & clutch disc
10. inspect flywheel for hot spots & glazing (should probably remove flywheel & have it resurfaced)
11. replace pilot bushing, throwout bearing, clean up bellhousing
12. line up clutch disc with alignment tool
13. torque down pressure plate in a star pattern
14. put everything back together

Just dont torque the SR flywheel that much and step torque it up. Torque them up to 40 lbs in a star pattern, then 70, then I usually torque mind up to about 95 ft lbs, while using red lochtite.
