High clutch engagement with RJM?

Cranberry

I just recently went through this problem as well, had the tranny dropped TWICE because after the new clutch and flywheel install it still had high engagement issues with slipping problems. after a week in the shop and back and forth with Nissan we finally figured it out. The release bearing on the clutch was messed up. when we replaced this the problem was resolved and the engagement point was back down to factory.

Hope this helps

Hmmm... stupid question - but the release bearing - is that the pilot bearing, or something else? I replaced the pilot bearing when putting the new clutch in, and the trans was brand new. Unless it's something attached to the engine that I didn't touch then it shouldn't necessarily be this, but thank you for offering up other options/issues to check!

Hey man, I'm going to be honest and state that I do not know exactly where the release bearing is. I have a mechanic that does all my work (follow my youtube channel for the documentary on it)

All I know is after a week of it not engaging right and slipping still, my mechanic resolved the problem be replacing the release bearing in the tranny. I don't know where that is or what it looks like, all I know is that was what was causing the engagement issues and slipping.

also forgot to mention, the release bearing is not the pilot bearing. We replaced the pilot right form the beginning and there was still slipping issues
