Auto To Man Convert?....how About Man To Auto?

Hi PW350...I'm getting a little confused buddy......could you re-read my past posts?

I don't and won't have a lightened fw in my car....I would not ever recommend any flywheel, ever, to anybody, for the V35, unless you want more of the 'performance' aspect....(which I don't need, not that way anyway)...That's why I'm potentially selling one (on behalf of somebody else).

I am extemely upset and mad at the 'chattering' noise in my car....that's why it's going back to the dealer.

I now have a 1 inch thich foam pad on the clutch pedal, to help reduce (albeit not very well) the vibration from going up my leg!

Cheers.

I Apologies for misunderstanding your previous post. wasn't sure what you meant "for sale" term before. Cheers

Sounds strange that your getting this vibration from the clutch pedel, I had a OS twin plate in my 180sx and it was noisy as when you pushed the clutch in. But i never had any vibration coming from the pedel pushed in or out even when it was shagged after some hard launches @ the drags with slicks on.

Just a random stab in the dark but you may have one of these problems

clutch is miss aligned

hot spots on cluthc/flywheel

weak slave cylinder

cracked or busted gearbox mount

cracked or busted engine mount

Clutch Chatter:

Clutch chatter, a vibration and/or noise when engaging the clutch, is likely to be caused by an internal clutch problem. A warped disc, hotspots on the flywheel or pressure plate surfaces, worn or dry input shaft splines, or worn release bearing.

wow!..thanx for taking the time for me 180!

I don't really expect anyone else to read my prior posts, in other sections re my box, and the drama's unfolding.....

So I'd like to answer you as best I can, if I may, point by point...

yes, that bloody clutch pedal feel, that is proportional in vibration to the gear knob....very frustrating, and very un-classy...my little Festiva bomb feels better than this car........the noise is there only when the clutch is in the drive position, regardless of gear (including reverse)....

When clutch is in, no noise, at any speed...coasting, reving in neutral, no vibration either.....only when she's under any (slight) load.

Clutch and flywheel are brand new...standard Nissan OEM parts.

Slave Cylinder....just doesn't seem to be anything remotely like this.

Gear box mounts?......The box has been in and out of the car 3 -4 times....and I was there most of the time it was un-installed...do you think we would've found a bad mount?....I'm sure we would've.....but I thought we would've.

Engine Mount?....admittedly, never checked this.???..but then again, if you heard the whirring 'volkswagen' sound when taking off in first and reverse, you'd prolly neg that.

Spigot and Thruster bearings are brand new Nissan parts.

Input shaft spline/needle bearings....I was told they're ok, coz I thought that too!...(but hey, could still be them!)

Release Bearing??...I don't understand that part??..sorry.

My thoughts???...farked sychro assy......

180?...Thankyou so much...(goin down on you big time).

Anyway....she goes back monday....I'm pushing for a whole new box, that's be the right thing for them to do, (and they say they will)..they can waste their own time on that suckerbox, not mine.

Oh...driver's side door lock actuator/solenoid shat itself lastnite.....farkin great....back to using keys again.

Skyline is supposed to run 100 Octane... Don't think the ethanol blend is anywhere near even 98.

Iv been using the key to unlock the door myself as of late, because my key seems to for some reason to require 3 to 5 presses before it will unlock or lock after that for some reason you only need to press it once.... might open up the key and give the contacts a clean

Yep...when I bought the car, I noticed a little calcification on the key PCB.....a liitle CO cleaner, and batt contact clean saw it work consistantly again.

On the other key, noticed that a battery leg was no longer soldered in place...a little heat tickle with my Wella saw that soldered again.

Nice and gentle does it.
