Possible Nissan OEM clutch system issue - Everyone Read

B.A.Q · 09-05-2011, 10:06 PM

I just switched to Red line and I didn't notice a difference until a few days after it became smoother but notchy sometimes specially when it's cold.

Another problem I'm having is a whine in first gear my friend said he doesn't have this in his Nismo, any thoughts?

Air in the clutch line would prevent the CSC from being fully engaged, otherwise the only other thing I can think of is that something is out of adjustment preventing the clutch master from having the correct range of travel.

Nearly 3 years of racing on my car on the stock clutch and I don't have anything like this issue.

My clutch and transmission work just fine - 3K.

Whine in first, only in first? does it sound like its spinning up? All the time in first or only when you accelerate?

Which is why I'm starting to think its something stupid, some adjustment is off somewhere...

In high RPM doesn't go until a shift or slow down I wanted to take it to the dealer but didn't have time. And I feel like there is air in the clutch it has like few inches until it starts disengaging

i can neither confirm nor deny this, but i've been told somewhere that the whine is a noise made by the carbon fiber drive shaft at high rpm. ok ready, discuss!
