Reading this. I wondering if your clutch disc broke and is jammed in the pressure plate. :icon14:

If the clutch will not disengage then it could be the hydraulics. You may have welded the discs to the flywheel and the CSC just can't supply enough force to break it free but I don't think you have eliminated the hydraulics yet.

The clutch is spring release and when you want to disengage it you apply pressure to the CSC which takes the clamping force off the pressure plate and allows the clutch to sit in between the two and free spin.

But yes it is pull the tranny time. Ill let you know what I find.

Thanks guys.

pull the stop lamp fuse from the drivers kick panel if you want the ECU to not close the throttles when you try and throttle and brake at the same time. This is what everyone who drag races has to do with a Z to get a proper burnout. There are other ways, such as putting a toggle switch on the stop lamp input to the ECU, etc... but the quick easy way is the stop lamp fuse. I believe its the 3rd from the bottom, left column.. Take note, your brake lights will not work with this fuse out!

But I would just pull the trans :)

yup sounds like it's stuck at least you got the clutch and flywheel from the same company so you only have to call one place.

Oh hello. lol

There are more pictures in my build thread. Needless to say a single disc clutch cannot handle second gear launches, lol.

Wow! That was fast!

Mitco39 09-24-2013 10:07 AM

Yeah.. lol about 5,000 miles on that clutch. haha.

Mitch, if this kit is able to handle your driving, it will take anything anybody can throw at it :)

2 sets of RE11's in one season as well. :)

It is an amazing kit, and all in all has been holding up very well to my abuse. Hell the whole car has really not missed a beat at all.

Thanks Sasha. :tiphat:

Good job by the way!

Two sets of tires and a demolished clutch in 5k miles? Are you testing to destruction? :rofl2:

SouthArk370Z 09-24-2013 12:18 PM

Day-uhm! So much for my bad hydraulics theory. :)

Did you end up with a new flywheel and pressure plate? Mine wasn't as bad, but there were pieces of the material stuck to the flywheel. It was resurfaced. The pressure plate remained. It's weird when I modulate the clutch pedal in reverse it feels and sounds like the clutch disk clapping with the flywheel. It won't hold pressure consistently or something. I'm running the full face ceramic.
