No there's no reason why I think you will have to baby it. It will probably be quite bitey for awhile. Make sure the flywheel gets machined and replace the spigot bush while you're there. The spigot bushes are the same as VL commo ones - $10.50 from the local holden dealer - double at nissan. Repco seem to do a good flywheel machining job too - at first I took mine to a machine shop but they only had a lathe not a facing machine. $50 well spent.

The flywheel is very important - if the clutch has been slipping the flywheel will be scored.

You don't want a shuddering clutch. Make sure if you're taking it to a mechanic that they do the job properly.

Ok guys just picked up my car tonight after the new clutch install. My old clutch wasnt actually that worn out pretty sure it was glased? The new clutch is pretty much the as driveable as the stocker can slip a bit and engages about an 1- 1.5 inch of the floor. Also turns out i got a race/lightened flywheel unsure brand or what it is exactly but i would like to know. Ah well off the dyno for me. :D

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
