Clucht problems by prezxz

For the past year i have been having problems with my 1991 300zx twin turbo , i have been experiencing the clutch slipping , i have replace the clutch , clutch master cylinder , slave cylinder , the clutch spring , slave cylinder hose and keeps doing it . The car runs but if you give enough power the clutch will not release and starts to burn( you can sense the clutch burning). There is a clutch power booster under the dash board , before i take the time to change this i will like to know if anyone has experience this problem. I've been having this problem after i had someone to replace my clutch, then i order from japan a 350z 2005 transmission made for me and i installed the 350z 2005 6 speed transmission in my 1991 300zx twin turbo and keeps doing the same problem. I have notice that with the original transmission and the new transmission the car keeps doing the same thing. If anyone knows whats wrong please let me know. Or if someone knows any speed shop in los angeles california area , please let me know i want to get my car fixed. Email me or respond. Thank you

PREZXZ YOUR 1991 Z CAME FROM FACTORY WITH THE VG30DETT ENGINE AND RS5R30A WARNER SYNCHROMESH 5-SPEED MANAL TRANSMISSION.HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO CHECK 1ST CHECK YOUR CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT IT SHOULD BE 7.5 TO 8.15 INS. ALSO CHECK YOUR FLUID LEVEL IN CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TOO MUCH WILL CAUSE A SELF APPLYING CONDITION.THERE IS A PLATE THAT GO,S BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANMISSION MAKE SURE THAT IT IS THERE THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM IF LEFT OUT. SINCE YOU TRANSPLANTED THE 350 2005 Z TRANSMISSION I HOPE YOU ALSO USE THE FLY WHEEL AND CLUTCH FOR 05 Z BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO DIFFERANT DESIGN. GOOD LUCK FROM THE GUYS AT (LEE TECH).

Hey guys thank you very much , yes flywheel and pressure plater where aslo change the car was doing it with the original transmission also , but that is already taken care off , we found the problem , and is working perfectly , the clucht push rod was weak and wasnt doing the necessary force to dessengage the clucth.
thank you

I saw a few Z's with the 2005 Z 6 speed tranny in the 300zx Twin Turbo... Is that a direct bolt up or is there modifications to make this happen. I was interested in this topic. Also, are you loosing low or top end with the 6 speed??
 
Thanks, Mike

hey thats good that your problem is fixed ,
i'm hoping you can help me out i have a 91 tt z and i am wanting to do the same up-grade as you did with the 05 350z transmission .
i could use your help with what i need to get and do such as >
     did you use the same 300zx computer for the transmission and harness or did you have to get the 350z computer/ harness . is the transmission a direct bolt on would i use the 350 clutch fly-wheel and so on or would the one on the 300zx work .
if it is not too much would you send a list of parts that i will need to get from the 350z to do the swap .
 
                 thank u
                    Marty

1996 300Zx Auto Tranny Problem by 300zx_sacca

- Eng/Tranny makes Clunking Noise when in "P" or "N", noise goes away in any drive Gear or Rev...sounds like the e Torque Converter is Knocking, maybe loose bolts, but no access w/o removing the starter, Tranny Support Brackets, Tranny Bolts and Tranny cover-plate. I also think the Fluid is reading "HIGH" when checked Cold & Hot.
- Car was running Fine other than occasional Chunking in "P" & "N", but now the car will only drive for about 1-2 blocks then the RPMs Spin-out...High. So, I shut the Engine Off, wait 20-40 sec's and I can drive for another few blocks
- Please advise actions to take before I Drop the Tranny. Found a Used Tranny ATTARCO for $425, I can do the Labor
- NOTE: bought with a SALVAGE Title in CA, was hit in the Drivers front-corner & repaired. Previously One Owner with 215,000 miles. The rest of the car seems CLEAN...Thank you, Brad

transmission just gave out by 300problems

hey i got a problem with my '94 300zx(AT) transmission. it was working fine when i bought it about 3 months ago, then after driving it for about a month and a half the tranny just whent out. the odd part was that it didnt give any signs of goin out at all, i was just driving one night and it quit going into gear. ive talked to a couple friends about it and had all sorts of different answers, but nothing that i can really work with. the weirdest thing with it is that right when i start it up, it will go into gear, but only for a 100 feet or so, then gives out and wont go anywhere, but it's ONLY right when i start it up thats it. anyone had this problem or think they may have an idea?

I have a 1990 300zx with 100K that i purchased about a year ago, i have had the engine replaced, body work done, repainted and now i am working on the interior, question is when i purchased the car the transmission made funny noise in 2nd and 4th, so i had the transmission replaced, i found a TT 5 speed transmission with low miles and had it installed, works great but guess what the noise is still there but not nearly as bad..... any ideas????? or experience with similar issues?????
