Hey all,

my s2 33 has had a sqeaky clutch for as long as ive had it (about a year). recently though, when i press the clutch pedal in i can feel and hear a 'notch' about half way through. its like a click, ans usually happens only if the clutch is pressed in fast. i remember reading someones comments on these forums that the predals can go from squaky-notchy -and then break.

can anyone else shed anymore light on this?

thanks.

I have a similar problem. When I press down on my cluth pedal it squeaks (although i've always assumed that the actual pedal itself has just needed a grease up) but recently ie last couple of months the peddle feels like it is notchy. It still seems to have all the same grip, ie The car doesn't feel like its slipping or not getting the power to the ground, its just notchy.

Like Red Emblem said, it is usually about halfway down or up and you can feel a notch, although for me its usually on the upstroke of the releasing the clutch. I would also be interested to know anyone's views on this or if they have fixed it etc.

Mine had that. Then when pulling into work, the pedal box broke. Popped all 4 spot welds holding it together, split it, and twisted the box. Me > car towed home

Get under the dash, look at the braket at the top of your clutch pedal. Take note of the side welds.

Mine squeaks like a parrot. I used silicon lubricant spray pretty wildly under there until it stopped, but now it's back 3 weeks later. =-//

And my 4-month old clutch is slipping badly. Doing searches on clutch adjustments atm.

dont start on pedal boxes........ :(

My pedal box where the actual pedal pivots on the hinges snaped completely on one side and made a loud snap like my trans just dropped hehehehe

then the clutch was completely loose and sooo easy to press, gotta get it re welded back up with some reinforcements..........

has anyone attempted doing it themselves???

how much of a bitch is it and what has to be taken apart...

my mech quoted 300 for labour and to re weld it and also re inforce with new brackets....

lucky i havnt taken it too him yet....

Pfft..$300 for labour.

Take off the pin from the clutch master rod, then the 2 nuts holding the cluth master in the engine bay. Get up under teh dash, and theres 1 bolt at the top of the box. Then it comes out. Simply use some scrap pieces of sheet to reinforce the areas where the spot welds are (making sure it will still go back in origional spot after)

Hes charging you to remove 2 nuts, 1 bolt and a little welding....about 3 hours work. I can get my clutch master off and the pedal box out in like 30 mins.

Easy as pie to see in the R33... climb in the footwell on your back, follow the clutch pedal.

It goes to that rod, which goes to a rubber grommit, which goes through to the master cylinder.

weasel: yeah man, your clutch pedal should go to the firewall, where it is held on by a bracket which has been spot-welded to the firewall.

If you want to get everything out of the way to do the welding, then yeah... you'd be pulling half the dash out. I recken you could get in there with the method that I described and chuck a couple of welds on it.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
