ahh trannys. you got to love em.
I got lucky. I put a old clutch in when I did my tranny swap, 30K miles down the road and still pullin hard. Removin the tranny is easy. It's those top two bolts I hate. I'd replace the slave while your there. Maby even the line if it looks rough. Like hoov said. "It's the crap you do while your at it"

Throw out bearing.. but i got a question for every one else about clutch slipedge ? when im driving my 82 280zxt in 1st to second to third gear the rpm meter peaks with just a touch of gas.. meens my clutch is sliping right ? in time for a new clutch.. its a stock clutch from nissan its been on my car for 9 years and only put about 30,000 miles on it.. should i get another stock clutch ? or get a stage 1 or stage 2 clutch kit ?

Seems to me most high performance aftermarket clutches don't last nearly as long as factory clutches, at least with a stock engine. I wouldn't go more than a stage 1 on a daily driver, maybe even just use a stock disk, with a stage 1 pressure plate.

or a ratcheting wrench. dot put a aftermarket throw out in it thu. they dont last as long as the clutch. nissan only for those things. trust me and while your at it, replace the guide bushing in the end of the crank with the needle bearing unit.

just use a normal wrench, those top 2 bolts are easy as well. and whats with "stage" crap. that means nothing to me. use real car terms such as how many pounds the pressure plate is, the disc make up, disc or puck.... etc.
i hate stage's.

first of all, isn't it that the throwout bearing pushes on the clutch pressure plate only when you push the pedal down.
I thought Kid was saying the grinding was when the pedal was up (when all the gears inside the tranny are spinning)
Seems like the gears in the front half of the transmission are bad, or the main input shaft is going out.
But, since the grinding is gone its all good

Hum... big mechanical problems don't just come and go by themselves. Not much you can do. Either rip into it, or wait till it starts making the noise again. Make a vid if it does come back.

so, i took my car to work today thinking i was gonna change my clutch and pilot bearing and throw out bearing.. i went to drain the tranny and no fluid came out at all!! like 5 drops... so i put gear oil in it and then everyhitng works but it makes a wineing sound on 1st 2nd and 3rd... other then that, everything seem okay... and when i was driving my "door light" came on.. and it doesnt wanna go off so my floor pannle light keep staying on
