for those that have changed their own clutch, specific question with pic - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

when i was putting on my SR clutch, the bulb/fulcrum circled in red was separate from the tranny, it looked like maybe it had broken off, but i didn't know if it was supposed to be attached or not, so i put all back together, drove the car fine for a while, then the clutch fork came off

is the bulb/fulcrum supposed to be attached? do you think it would work to get it welded on?

it is supposed to be attached to the tranny and never come off....i am not sure if it can be unscrewed from it position..but you do need to have it in place..if you do get it welded back on make sure that it is sitting the same EXACT position it was before it broke off

it is threaded just unbolt the fulcrum and put a new one on

nismo does offer this item... just a bit of fyi... to me that means it is a weak point or a point that management made the engineers cut costs with... if you plan to drive the car and can spend the cash i'd suggest splurging on it....

Screwed in the front tranny cover
You can use the KS one with no prob.
Even, use the KA tranny cover,use new gasket!!

pr240sx your post made no sense to me.

yes, that piece is needed. if you look at the clutch for (for ka anyways, but im pretty sure the sr clutch fork is almost identical even though i never seen one) theres a small indent for that pivot. i dont know how you got fork on to work. i dont know if its a weak point, but nismo does make a stronger one.

should say "That is screwed in the front tranny cover
You can use the KA tranny front cover one with no prob.
Use new gasket!!"
