Our 1991 Nissan 240SX is still on its original clutch--not bad for a sporty car that has covered 212,000 miles so far. During our Sebring outing we noticed that the clutch didn't feel 100-percent solid on downshifts. It wasn't a slipping mess, but we'd call it 90-percent healthy. Plus, the clutch engages at the top of its range.
It's probably …
To do the clutch, pull the driveshaft, tranny x-member, and exhaust after the downpipe. Grab the tranny and tilt the engine back so where the down pipe turns back is hanging below the chassis and jam a piece of 4x4 in there. It will hold the engine at that angle making access to the top tranny bolts and sliding everything on and off a 1000 times easier.
Thanks for the tip.
