Rb25Det Clutch Problem

Having issues with new clutch, about 500km ago I had a new Exedy Extra Extra Heavy Duty Button for an RB25det, Manufacture Part No: Exedy NSK-7056HHHDB installed, together with an exedy lightened flywheel and a Nismo clutch pivot.

Over the past week the car has these symptons,

Hard to get into 1st and reverse gear when cold, and just as bad when at running temp. With the clutch fully pressed to the floor and the car in 1st gear the cars still moves forward,

Gears grinding, impossible to drive,

Had enought of it and took it to the mechanics.

I sat in car on the hoist as he bleed the master and slave just to make sure there is no air in the system, or a leak. Still no improvement at all.

Mechanic is assuming its a problem with clutch fork, he thinks it may be bent, he wants to purchase a clutch fork before he pulls the gear box out.

Does anyone out there know or have had any similar problems, I'm a bit unsure about buying a new clutch fork before the box is removed just incase its not the problem.

and even If I replace it who's to say that the new clutch fork wont do the same, flex, break, or is there an aftermarket forged one I can buy.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

It's either the clutch fork bent/split/otherwise f**ked, or the ball could be damaged (that happens a lot) or it could be that your clutch master is shagged, internally bypassing, and so only giving you half a pedal. Oh, and the pedal brackets like to split open as well, causing the same sort of crap.

If it were me, with a stupidly stiff clutch just put in, I would get a Nismo pedal bracket (or weld some extra bracing across the top of the original one) and get a new strong-as-possible clutchfork. Just 'coz. You're going to need to beef those up anyway or they'll just shit themselves at some stage. And budget for a master cylinder as well.

Your clutch is not being fully disengaged. Symptoms covered above. My car did the same, the spring in the master was broken into 3 pieces. Occasionally it would drive fine then at time it would just not get in or out of gears. I'd do the cheapest and easiest options first. Box out is a pain in the arse. These exedy hhhd clutches like breaking things. I went with something custom and the pedal feel is identical to stock but with massive clamp load and 5 puk clutch.

I had the same problem, replaced the master/slave and no change, nothing broken...

so one weekend got it up on ramps and removed the box to find out 6 of the 9 bolts holding the pressure plate on where pretty much coming out..

so the plate was on the piss and not being able t o dissengage the clutch...

you can tell if the fork/ball is broken/bent anyways though the inspection hole... generally..

hope this helps narrow it down.

eventually sent the clutch back to exedy and the clutch is deemed to be faulty as it wont release, cant believe it. they refunding money though.

if you want a cheaper alternative to the Nismo twin, get a NPC Organic clutch. They utilise a 10" (a brand new modified Exedy clutch to their specs). Sprung centre, organic material, 1.7 ton clamping force.

Pedal  effort is same

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
