350z clutch in ka

I used a 350z TOB and now I am having slipping issues on my brand new clutch. Guess I gotta take out the transmission again and stick a 240sx throw out bearing in there.

Actually, the 350Z clutch is closer to 250mm, at 9 7/8" compared to the 9 1/2" for the White Bunny.
I'd also understood that the TOB was to be used based upon the transmission, and it so happened that the one from the clutch kit I used (mid-grade NAPA one) was identical to the KA one from my 1995 transmission anyway.
I had not cared to look into THIS setup until this morning, and even then only did so to make sure the 24-splines was similar. I know nothing about the RB flywheel though, as this is the first time I had heard of it mentioned for this setup.

which flywheel did you use with your 350z clutch? you cant use a 350z flywheel since it has a 8 bolt pattern instead of the ka 6 right?

I did not use the Z33 clutch, I used the Z31/32 clutch, and the flywheel I used was from the 1993 D21 pickup, which has the KA bolt pattern because it has a KA as well. Usable exchange part numbers are named in the thread I linked in my first response in this thread.

ah I see ya i knew about that setup too but I decided to go for the 350z as it had the bigger contact patch. I had asked on another board regarding which to use at which time I was given incorrect information that i kept using this time around too .

I also called competition clutch since they offer a 350z pressure plate with a 240sx clutch disk and they use a 240sx throw out bearing as well! which leads me to believe the issue HAS to be with the TOB as the only things that can make a clutch slip are the clutch assembly, the tranny, oil, or trany linkage which the TOB is part of.
