#26 of 40 slippage issues-93 300zx by jtrombone Oct 15, 2008 (6:01 pm)
Hey folks-have had my car for 7 years and it now has 115k on it, just did the timing belt 2k ago. The engine runs strong-it pulls great in 1st and 2nd gears. Sometimes in 3rd/4th/5th the tranny slips? RPM s go up, but there is a lag in acceleration. The clutch resevoir is at the mid point. Any ideas? Thanks JF   PS-3rd gear has bean balky since I owned the car. Replies to this message: missmarilyn (Oct 18, 2008 5:58 am)

Replying to: jtrombone (Oct 15, 2008 6:01 pm) These are classic clutch slip symptoms. There is a possibility that you may be able to adjust the linkage (attached to peddle) to take up the play in the clutch. With 115k it is likely though that the Clutch (clutch, pressure plate, and bearing) will need replacement. If the CVs haven’t been changed yet, this may be a good time for those as well since they need to come off the transmission to access the clutch. Parts for this job will run less than $500, including CVs, and there’s a good guide on: link title. If you take it to someone, I’d expect to pay at least $2500.   Good luck

Replying to: 300problems (Mar 30, 2007 8:04 pm) Dude, the same thing happened to me yesterday. I was going to work and all of a sudden I herd a odd sound like high pitch spinning sound I guess, then *boop* she just started rolling no power and more. Its like I was driving in neutral, the engine was revving but it nothing to the wheels. Smell your trany fluid, mine smelled burnt, but it was clean looking and was at the level it should be. But if any one has any solutions plz let us know.
