Question about clutch - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well my 9 240sx with KA24de motor has about 110k miles on it. I dont think it has ever had the clutch changed and at times i can feel it slip... i was wondering if i had to buy a whole clutch kit, or can i just replace the clutch disk??

if its gone over 100k miles on the factory clutch, i would suggest getting a whole kit, the TO bearing is probably in need of a change and the pressure plate is probably looking pretty rough

Don't forget the pilot bushing and to grease your transmission input shaft.

most all clutch kits come w/ everything you need, to bearing, alignment tool, pressure plate etc.

If you order your clutch from Courtesy Nissan you'll spend about $170 on parts. That includes TOB, Pilot Bushing, Pressure Plate, and disk. That's if you simply wanna get an OEM replacement. You should also consider resurfacing your flywheel when you take it off to replace the pilot bushing. Replacing the flywheel bolts is another recommendation as well. You don't have to order the alignment tool from the dealer though, it's $5 cheaper if you go to Autozone or AAP and get one.
