1994 NISSAN 300ZX Clutch and Hydraulic Release System Installation

[@4747-u2r]

This is the best damn video for this job better than what I have seen from the z community thank you so much for this this !!

The 300zx Service Manual is very clear on the steps needed to properly bleed the clutch system. There is a secondary bleeder valve by the Power Steering reservoir which was not utilized in your process, hence the reason why you had such a difficult time getting the air out of the system (I would be surprised if you managed to get all the air out using only the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder). For anyone interested, the pertaining section in the 300zx Service Manual is the Clutch Section (CL), more specifically: CL-8 "Bleeding Procedure".

excellent vid. I am now myself replacing my 94 300ZX clutch at 98k. Many great explanations of the smaller details in this vid. With 98k the drive shaft center bearing was feeling a little loose also so considering the cost of bearing,3 new u-joints plus press in/out labor I decided to go with a one piece shaft for the same price. excellent vid........thumbs up #306

Great video about installing clutch and hydraulic release system on a 1994 Nissan 300ZX (Z32) sports car.

[@martycharron3415]

thank you for all your time on this repair. very well done!!!

[@BenjiXbass]

Originally was trying to find another video I had seen on what to/what not to grease, but I'm happy I found this one of the entire process instead. Mine is TT, but it doesn't seem like the job will be any different, aside from couple of upgrades along the way. I'd love the luxury of a lift. I get to do mine with around a foot and a half or so of space off the ground.

[@sharayahgreen4063]

One thing you didn't touch on in the bleeding procedure, is that the Nissan 300zx has not one but two bleed valves. The lower valve is on the slave cylinder and other other is on the passenger fender right next to the HICAS Valve. The second valve really helps relieve air stuck in the system higher up.

[@JaydenLamonte]

This is going to help me restore my 93 z32 🙌🏽

[@FdSnakeEater]

On some of these older 300zx's they had a clutch dampener line that runs to the passenger front fender tub. If you cant get it to bleed out completely, try bleeding this line also.

[@bizaws2]

FYI You forgot to mention the bleeder up by the super HICAS system on true Z32 TT's.

[@Brian-le7wb]

On any z32, not just tt.

[@HayaiDemoN]

cool video, thanks for the upload!

[@victorsandoval7602]

Thank you! Easy to follow

[@mosswine5417]

what is he using to get the top bolts of the transmission off and where can I buy it? It was a pain getting those out, I had to connect 2 wrenches together and unbolt it from the hood.

[@Luther1543]

hey, great to see a great car becoming great again. i heard the clutch replacement costs about $4500 in the 300zx TT, its not cheap to drive one of these cars.

[@BenjiXbass]

+Martin Luther (Martin Luther 1543) About 1/4th of that price.

[@Brian-le7wb]

Not at all that expensive if you have a trustworthy mechanic do the installation.

[@bizaws2]

Ya the car in the vid is obviously an NA so they dont have the line I mentioned.. But if you ever do a TT model the line is there where I described on the passenger side of the engine bay.

[@dad6896]

doesn't get better than this

[@felplayvina]

Hi, just question you always replace the flywheel. I did my 95 240sx I just refine the flywheel and is working with out problem but I never replace the slave or the cylinder but I feel little free play at the pedal, can be because the flywheel? or just need to adjust the pedal?..

[@The300ZXGuru]

***** Dont forget the 300zx has a pedal adjustment you can move by losing two nuts. This typically allows for adjustment of the pedal once all the new parts are installed. O and yeah BTW you can use a socket to install the new pilot bushing. What ever you do DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT use a needle type bushing. It will screw up your imput shaft. Hope this helps.

[@brianheiden6623]

The300ZXGuru Had the nismo bearing for years never had one problem shaft is perfect after 7 years just swapped my clutch out and put a new one in. Not sure were you ran into a problem on this?

[@Martin95Bazi]

He didn't know that there is a bleeder valve on the front passenger side under the hood. It would've made his job much easier.

[@TheFifapro44]

I have a question. I'm replacing the clutch on my 300 at home and I have the flywheel and clutch assembly bolted up, the transmission is up but the input shaft is not fully seated inside of the clutch assembly so I cannot bolt the transmission to the engine, could the probably be a misaligned clutch disk or am I missing something?

[@KSomsy]

I have a question! I installed a new clutch and bled the clutch. when I turn on the car and left the clutch, the car wants to move like it's in first gear but I'm in neutral. please help!!!

[@Spoolin_jerry]

For replacing the clutch is it the same way for a 300zx 90" tt

[@Tarnjit69]

SHOULD I GREASE OR OIL MY NISMO NEEDLE BEARING PILOT BUSHING?

[@drown-g7l]

i have a 1994 300zx NA MT and everytime i shift my rpms drop by 1k after it catches and then it takes forever for the car to get up to speed. i did a compression and vacuum test on it and the engine is running perfect but sometimes the car does catch gears without dropping rpms and actually speeds up pretty fast so i doubt its the gear box. could there be something wrong with my clutch assembley? great video btw *****

[@brianheiden6623]

Juan Cadena Definatly something with the motor, check all electrical connections I mean everywere its usually the first culprit with green corrosion, these cars arre old now almost all of them have corroded wiring at this point.

[@richhobo4449]

1994 NA 300zx hi i just replaced my clutch and 300 miles later theirs like a grading noise it shifts good but when i push in the clutch pedal the noise goes away, can anyone help me out plz im not sure what to do or what is making the noise

[@richhobo4449]

i got a jdm motor for my 1994 300zx Na and the jdm motor i think is a 1990 and i can fit the pilot bushing in the pilot hole the pilot hole is smaller than the bushing and i called around town all the pilot bushing are the same for every year can anyone help me with this thanks

[@zdiaries3232]

Great video

[@arshidalishah5844]

[@attilaszabo4114]

[@attilaszabo4114]

its alright 1987 nissan 300zx base 3.0 engine vg30e and my trans is either a fs5w71a or fs5w71c

[@attilaszabo4114]

thank you Gary! As for bearing with collar would that be a difference with the throw out bearing or the pilot bushing

[@josealonzo2239]

to bleed the slave is not the right way it have other bleeder under the hood by passanger side you have to blled that one too

[@Randomadventuresebike]

Where is the loser dust cover plate?

[@shib7492]

[@The300ZXGuru]

SMH wow

[@ghostsmoke11]

this guy likes grease

[@mrZdude]

These slave cylinders for Z-cars go out once a year. OE Nissan or nothing evidently, because you guys can't make hydraulics that last on a Z to save yourselves.
