I have EXEDY too in my vintage 280z powered by Rb26dett, it's like a rock. Too hard for me. I hate the traffic light.

 

Yea im getting the oem replacment exedy tho.
That z sounds sexy tho any pics? I was thinking about doing that myself but im a sr20 lover.

 

I don't bench bleed it either . To Messy

First install the slave and start to bleed it as normal till you have fluid and movement. Then I remove the slave and push it in with the bleed screw open to push any trapped air out of it .Then close the bleeder and reinstall and finish bleeding it .

I have had a few cars get air trapped in the slave before .

If it were me , I would stick to the stock flywheel as it helps to have the extra inertia . The factory flywheel is not really that heavy compared to say a 350Z . OEM clutch or I have had great luck with Comp Clutch 2100 series .

damn that's sweet - you certainly have a beautiful collection

 

wow sexy color too.. Two thumbs up!


Back on subect i took the car for another ride today and there is also a vibration coming from the pedal. hmmmm

 

Clutch Pedal Vibration: caused by:
1. Bent crankshaft

2. Bent flywheel flange

3. Flywheel not seated evenly on crankshaft flange

4. Severe misalignment between engine and transmission

5. Cover assembly not centralized on flywheel --sounds like main bearing knock

6. Clutch housing sprung by improper installation

7. Clutch release shaft arms not parallel

8. Broken or missing clutch pedal pull-back spring

.....but I don't think you've done any of these lately, so


Bleed the clutch system again!!

 

I really think its the clutch. im gonna pull it apart and just order another clutch. Everytime i try to go into gear now the gears wanna clunk. no good!

 

When they fail, clutches usually slip. they hardly ever fail in such a way that you cannot shift. The creeping forward sounds like hyrdraulics. Did you have someone push down on the clutch pedal while you observe the action of the slave?

 

Unless you are Glenn and one of the disc cracked and one of the springs popped out jamming it . I might have a pic somewhere . I will have to look tonight
