Need pic of throw out bearing on shaft - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Does anyone have a pic of a throw out bearing on the shaft in the tranny. This is a 91 hatch with an s13 redtop. I recently installed a Spec stage 3 and now every time i push the clutch pedal i get this ungodly screeching. I replaced the pilot bushing, clutch, pressure plate and the throwout bearing. The only thing I can figure is maybe I got the bearing on backwards and its not spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I decide to just run the car off of a cliff.

Thanks

In a way I really hope so and in a way I don't. I hope it is because it will be fairly easy to fix. I hope its not because it makes me a dumb@$$. Oh well I guess you live and learn.

I put a new clutch kit in my car and I have the same noise, although it only happends every once and a while. And I did put the TB in correctly. My TB is a koyo, what kind did you put it?

OEM nissan from an S14. Not sure what brand it is. I called Heavy Throttle and they told me the 95's bearing was the same. It got quieter on the way home from work today, but I still have this horrible vibration coming from the clutch/tranny area when I depress the clutch pedal. I will be pulling it back apart tomorrow to see whats up. This has been the only problem I have had with the swap, I thought it would be a lot worse.

Figured out what my problem was. I removed the tranny and 2 fingers from my pressure plate fell on the ground.

I dont feel like such a dumb @$$ now. Any one else have issues with spec clutches. I have heard good things about them. I'm hoping this is a freak thing.
