Clutch question

[Yampiedog]

I was wondering how the bite was on others clutches - i'm guessing I find that the clutch bites at about 3/4 out. Is this too high?

[rothers2901]

I dont think so, Ive had mine for about 3 1/2 years and the clutch is near the top end, never had any problems.

They do have a high bite point - have a search some guides on here about making adjustments

Cheers guys, not worried about where it bites if that is the norm, I can live with that better than thinking my clutch is on its way out!

Now wondering if the clutch is going as it over revs when accelerating, worse in higher gears...

 

Is this a job that an amateur could succeed at replacing with the car jacked up on axle stands? I don't have either the Nissan Service manual or the Haynes manual at present so don't know exactly what it entails on this beast.

Yes it is a DIY if you are handy with the tools and you have the correct tools and equipment to carry out the task.

 

It is a 2 man job as the gearbox is heavy.

 

Quite a few forum members have successfully fitted a new clutch and fly kit.

 

Or you could pay a carefully selected garage circa £200.00 to do the work for you

Not something I am prepared to try then, will have to find trusted garage near to home...

Another question - is the clutch hydraulic or cable?

[Watshot]

Hydraulic.

[Yampiedog]

I understand it is automatic adjustment too which means there is no room for human adjustment?
