I've seen people find them for as little as 450 shipped, might want to look around a little more.

i started with my old one, just seeing if i could do it. and right off the bat i knew this isent for me. its a royal pain in the *** and something i dont want to **** up.

so now, what do i do??? take to a transmission shop and get them to switch everything??? how many shops have even opened a nissan 6 speed?? around burlington nc prolly none.

post in your regional forums and see if anybody is willing to do the work for/with you.. either that or have it towed to a shop.. a competent tranny shop should be able to figure out what they are doing with that transmission

Thanks for the update on the HR clutch working out for you.

SR20DEN has taken his tranny apart and removed forks, shafts, gears, and such. I helped and watched some. He can do this for you if he has the time. He hasn't been doing much for a while cause of work, but I'll see if he wants to make a few bucks. I still have to find time for him to help me with this clutch/flywheel as well......unless you want help me.

well i finally got it moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


adjusted clutch pedel, its really nice, grabbs nice, i havent been harsh on it though.

the tranny seems ok, the fd feels totally diffrent and hella nice.

one problem very big, im pissssssed off, oil is leaking bad, at eather rear main seal, or the rear of the oil pan, this is causing oil to get on flywheel clutch all that, and its dripping out of the lil hole in the bottom.


sooo it looks like its all gotta come apart agian. idkkkkk pics soon.

oh ya !!! the hr clutch , feels like a fen feather, when u press it down, its kinda scary.

ok so today i started back at it agian,

this time it was diffrent took 2 hours and tranny was out, lil more and oil pan was off, now time to figure stuff out..


so the oil leaking is from the rear main seal, its is torn in 2 spots, idk why, eather from defective parts, or i installed it wrong.

see pic http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/DSC01586.jpg


also, the new clutch setup!!!

i though it was fine, untill pulling it apart.

the pressure plate, and the pressure plate side of the clutch is totally fine no problems

but now the flywheel and flywheel side of clutch disc is worn on the inside, like burn or something, but the outer part is fine,

whats up with that??? i really dont know what to do about it.
