Well no one would have guessed - including me. I removed the clutch to find that one side of the clutch completely ripped off the plate. So I drove about 1500 miles with one side of a clutch lol. I guess the ripped off clutch material was still kind of connected causing the transmission to not stop completely thus making first gear hard to get in. p.s. don't replace your clutch on the floor of your garage unless you have a great therapist

I just purchased a R34 GTR and drove it 2000 miles back home (once in a life time opportunity - best drive of my life) but around 500 miles in something happened with the clutch where the car would not go into first or reverse when stopped. So I currently have to start the car in 1st or reverse and then "release" the clutch like normal and the shift like normal once I am moving. And If I try to put the car in first or reverse when stopped I can feel some vibration on the shifter like something is still connected between he engine and the transmission. Nothing is wet around the master or slave cylinder and I seem to get full travel from the slave cylinder - I am thinking the hydraulics are good since I can have the car in first gear with the clutch depressed and engine running and not stall out. And when the engine is off everything shifts as it should. Video of slave cylinder movement
