Update... working on the tranny.

 

Went to the dealer and picked up some goodies.

Throw-out bearing.

Just as I suspected... the guy who rebuilt my tranny the last time used silicone only to seal the front cover.

Nicest 720 I have ever seen, hope you are going to use a Centerforce clutch. I used to have a Mitsu GSX and a stock clutch will not last behind a turbo engine. Sure wish all those photos weren't deleted, so I could see all the progress. biggrin.gif

WAIT !!! before you install that pilot bushing for the trans...

do yourself a huuuge favor- go buy a 'needle bearing' style pilot bush instead of that brass one. The brass ones will eventually shred and make you think your throwout bearing is going out.

 

i think this one is for mazda, but they do make them for KA's http://www.frsport.com/Mazda-OEM-Replacement-Crankshaft-Clutch-Pilot-Bearing_p_8929.html

 

i did it and upgraded to Nismo bearing as well as Nismo fork pivot bearing. never have to fix it again...

Thanks, not using a centerforce. Went with Gripforce 300zx Stage III clutch.

Pilot bushing was already in... I used the Nissan pilot bushing instead of the one that comes with the kit. Same for the T/O bearing.

 

The pivot was fine. What is the difference between the Nismo one and the OEM one?
