Clutch Problem

Hey guys,

having some problems with my clutch on my 32 gtst. i replaced it about 10 months ago with a heavy duty clutch from repco, and when i did that to press the pedal it was pretty heavy. But along the way my clutch master cylinder started leaking and i never really good it fixed until today. Now its a bit more heavier but sometimes its hard to push the stick into gear. Like to get into first i have to come to a COMPLETE stop and push the pedal in and then put it into first gear, and it feels sometimes pretty rough when it should be feeling smooth.

My mate who changed the clutch master said saw the selector fork when the car was raised and it was really bent.. does this sound like what my problem is? how much would it cost to take it somewhere to get it straightened out?

Thanks

if the pedal is hard, i will assume it's been bled properly.

if the master cylinder has an adjustable pushrod, make sure it is adjusted long enough so that when the pedal is pressed in, it is releasing the clutch properly/fully.

if it isn't releasing you will have trouble getting the gears.

how far do you have to lift the clutch to get it to take up/take off?

if you barely lift the clutch and your moving forward, might need a little adjustment to lengthen the pushrod.

by all means could be the fork bending, which will do the same and not allow it to release, but hell that is not very common at all in my books.

thats what my mate told me who put in the clutch master (about the fork).. he says the new clutch master i bought was a few thread's short or something compared to the other one.. but yeah i barely lift the clutch for the car to start moving.. and its hard to get into gears.. also out of no where it will start hunting/jerking so id be going constant 80 then it would jerk while im pushing the accelerator and slow for a bit then picking up just do the sometimes unexpectedly.. it even stalls when im in neutral sometimes going 60

would this all be due to the clutch?

he also says the bled it twice but its so soft its not hard at all

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
