my s14 [70k] tranny [on an auto s13] is grinding so bad it hurts me. I had it put onto my automatic s13 a few months ago. Only ~700 miles on the Valvoline Syntec 75w90 gear oil. I bled the clutch, checked trans oil level, and have been adjusting the MC piston length 'lock nut' on the clutch pedal [only helps a bit]. Grinds on hard accel [4k+ rpm] shifting into 2 and 3, and [here's the kicker] when Im in NEUTRAL, I clutch in and blip the gas and it grinds!? I noticed this when rev matching/downshifting then just tried it in NETUTRAL and it happened... >;(
Im considering your advice, but I hesitate because my oil is stil NEW... any ideas?
The only other thing I can imagine is that the pilot bearing is causing it somehow because the person who installed it said the s13 bearing from my s13 Nissan OEM clutch kit was not a perfect fit for the s14 tranny. It fit after grinding it... is it time for trans rebuild...!? Info/suggestions appreciated.
