For a 2.4 mated with a 5 speed...?

Thanks

Thanks, would you recommend this brand Sean?

Yes.

Or change to a 240mm flywheel and fit one of these :

Link just sent me to a assortment of 280z bits. Does anyone have any good, bad or indifferent opinions about any of the brands/options available?

iOS a 200sx clutch the same a 280zx. Or more the question, will it fit?

I'm glad I saw this post because I was going to ask a similar question about clutches.

My Clutch is starting to judder and I am starting to get an occasional crunch when putting it into first gear but all the links listed refer to L24 engines or bigger. I have an L20 engine and the only listing I can find for that is from a Nissan Laurel. Would these be the same clutch kits or would a kit for an L24 fit? Otherwise does anyone know where I would get a kit for a 2.0L Fairlady Z 2+2?

Cheers

Gearbox crunch is the synchro going (or gone) not the clutch.
I would have guessed that the flywwheel is the same for the L20 as the L24 ie 225mm.

.....

That can be the clutch Sean - try selecting 1st gear without using your clutch.

 

[SeanDezart]

Point taken. Try slipping it into second beforehand then first - if it still snicks - it's the clutch then ?

 

[Farmer42]

Having thought about this for a bit, it's more of a grind than a crunch - a bit like you are trying to put it into gear without using the clutch. It's only occasional though so I am thinking it may be release bearing or slave cylinder. The judder is defo clutch plate so that will need replacing. If I buy the kit with a new bearing & it still grinds then I will think about the slave or possibly master.

As far as clutch kits go, I have no idea what size flywheel is on the L20 or L24 so I bow to judgment that it could be 225mm. If this is the same as a Laurel then these seem to be widely available.

Will have to start saving the pennies!!

I would buy a slave and master cylinder together as one often goes after the other new part is fitted. They're also cheaper than a clutch and to fit so try that first if you go down that route. Of course, you could buy and fit it all in one and sleep easier.

Now after a clutch slave and master kit. zstore in the US have them in stock but are not coming back with a international shipping quote. MJP are more expensive but out of stock for at least a week so it's irrelevant.

Anyone happen to have any for sale or want to point me in the direction of a good US supplier for parts as I will be replacing a lot over time.

Cheers,

Joe.
