going to replace my stock clutch, flywheel, spiggot bearing, thrust bearing, and clutch fork pivot.

im saving for exedy hd cusion button clutch, exedy lightweight flywheel, and nismo pivot.

i did a transit van clutch yesterday at work, to get the spiggot bearing out i drilled a hole in the back and slide hammered it out, can i do the same on my gts4?

If you do a search this has been discussed before - most recommend packing the area with grease then hammering a shaft that's the same diameter as the spigot hole into it, which makes the grease push the back of the spigot and it should pop out. Didnt work for me tho....

someone told me about the grease method but really didnt like the sound of that so i tried my own way, worked well tho i think im going to get a clutch alignment tool and bearing puller... cos not all bearings will be the same

ive decided im going to do the rear main seal while the box is out too.

i have been driving around with the clutch slip for awhile now, only slips once the car heats up anything and around 4500-5000 rpm it starts to slip and rev out, would this be doing my engine and gearbox any damage?

i got another transit job.. this one has a leaky rear main seal, and a ASM box and i have to do it on the ground... fml

i just want to work on my car

i find quickest and easiest way is CARFULLY die grind the bush until its very thin with a die grinder and metal burr, then just a few taps with a hammer and screwdriver will split it into pieces, take the bits out with long nose pliers, use the air gun to blow out any swarf, done. probably takes 5-10 min to take your time, as you obviously don't want to be grinding your crank away with the die grinder

yeah man, the slide hammer of death haha.

ill try hook the slide hammer in there and get it out other wise i can cut it out, or bash it out with grease.

gonna get light flywheel, cusion button, rear main seal, bell housing/engine gasket, spiggot & thrust bearings, nismo clutch fork pivot. is there anything im missing?

yeah thanks people.

i noticed the replacement item is a bush not a bearing?

if thats the cased i will have to remove it with the grease packing method or grind through it and cave it in

Well its a bush (aka plain aka journal) bearing, just not a roller bearing. You can get roller spigots, but i've heard they're not reliable. Its also made from sintered bronze, so its full of tiny holes, and the holes are used hold lubricant.

Nah, thats a good list (if you like button clutches...:). Some suggest doing the gearbox input shaft seal, but i didnt bother. What's the bellhousing/engine gasket? I think you may be assuming there's something there that inst!

i use wet cardboard in the same manor and it worked every time without fail

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
