Hopefully you havnt made a big error with your release bearing arm/release bearing and made the slave cylinder piston pop out...


Slave cylinder push rod to release arm play should be about 3mm


It could be a nasty coincidence i suppose

Is puting s13 clutch any better.
The dimentions are the same.
What is better in s13 then s12.

S13 had 550kg pressure plate compared to 450kg on S12

i was advised by alot of people to put the s13 clutch in as it iss able to take more bhp n still have a nice life! i obv wasnt 100% that it fited as no 1 cud tell me they had done it but yes it fits a treat n grips veru well so far

Yeah its a good clutch that the S12 engine will probably never be powerful enough to slip.

Which preasure plate shoud i use ( wich year there are two) and which preasure bearing? Should i use s12 or s13 and which one??? Im changing the cluch this weekend because mine is sliping during gear change. Last tim it slipet when i changed from 1-st to 2-nd and 6K rmp

i used the clutch from a 1989-1992 200sx turbo n used the pressure plate from it as well! the release bearing also fits obv jst need to press it on deff a gd upgrade thou feels so much faster now

I have bought an excedy disc and NKK preasure plate. I hope that exedy is any good because in my friends s13 it sliped at 280 HP
