Clutch problems

I'm asking Johnny about it now, I'll call Gabe too and see what he has to say about it. Nismos and Sport share this pilot bushing?

No stock nissan car that I know of come with a Nismo needle pilot. I have had many issues before with the needle pilots and always advise against them. No matter how careful you are with them they are just way to easy to damage during install.

I would like some pictures of the disk when it is pulled and before you put it back together, Just to make sure it is not damaged from the previous dragging when the air was in the system.

I will do that.

Let me know man.. I don't really wanna drive like this... I don't wanna be a PITA customer (I could tell Gabe was annoyed every time I came back the same day bc pedal was not feeling right) and that is why I've been trying to figure this on my own with the help you guys and Joe...but hey if it was an install issue then I hope Johnny will honor it..

Of course he will, once a JTran customer you become family, Gabe just started working there and he mite have been giving you a hard time because he knows your friends w/ me, lol. Sounds like it could be the pilot bushing but I don't think your hurting anything by continuing to put miles on it, exspecially since your getting a new tranny and if it is pilot bushing it's going to get replaced regardless. The clutch spines were cleaned according to Gabe but as far as pilot bushing damage, I have no idea. I'd like to drive it myself and feel the issue as I'm sure Johnny will too.
