Nissan Clutch Problem... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Matthew · 05-02-2005, 01:35 PM

Chris and I (mostly Chris) spent the majority of Sunday bringing my '91 Nissan Stanzarossa back to life. Prior to Sunday I hadn't driven the car since parking it due to a seized waterpump last march... About a week or so before the waterpump seized I had a new clutch installed, and the flywheel resurfaced... I am now experienceing heavy clutch slippage with very light throttle input. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

My guess would be the significant torque produced by the KA24's 2.4 litres of fury, as a result of your aftermarket eBay intake. I hope it was worth the voided warranty, son!

It was worth it. ^_^

My first guess was that his rear main seal is going/gone, and that oil leaked into his bellhousing, causing his clutch to slip. There was no fluid leakage on his driveway.

you problem is that you have to take one of the superchargers off. also you have to add another cam shaft. once you have the 3rd camshaft on you problem will be fixed. tell me how it goes.

How does the pedal feel? It might not be releasing all the way...
There may be some oil leaking onto the pressure plate/flywheel, but more than likely you would have seepage onto the ground. How is the clutch fluid?(is it cable/mechanical...I have NO idea :D ).

I am going to have another look at it tonight. I didn't actually drive it, Chris did. I had a bad expirience last time I test drove one of my cars after cooling system repairs were performed on it...
