Clutch Install Question
I'm installing a new clutch on an engine/trans outside of the car.
When reassembling, I mounted the disk and the PP using the centering tool and torqued down the 12pt to spec. In its current state this is the same as if your foot was off the clutch?
On the trans side.. i put the new TB on the fork and greased up where it mounts to the fork and the input shaft.
All I'm supposed to do is just mount the tranny on the engine?
The splines on the PP don't attach to the TB correct?
The reason why I'm asking this is because when I push on the fork/slave cyl there is no feel other than the fork spring.
Also there is no way the trans could be mounted without the input shaft going into the clutch correct?
I'm having a brain fart now. I think if I look at it again it will make sense. But thought I would also ask for clarification.
Thanks

-no it is not the same as your foot being on the clutch. when you push the clutch pedel in, the slave cylinder moves pushing the TB onto the clutch, which pushes the center of the disk, spreading the springs, pushing the clutch onto the flywheel, thus sending power to the wheels.
- the splines do not attach to the TB no.

Hmm.. When the clutch pedel is pushed in there is no power to the wheels....?
When this happens there is no or little pressure on the disk. Its kinda floating between the PP and the FW?
When your foot is off the clutch the pp sandwiches the disk and FW..
So when the TB pushes against the splines its the same as when your foot is on the clutch. depressed.
?
TIA

Re: Clutch Install Question (s13_240sx_92)
When no pressure is applied to the diaphragm(or fingers) of the PP, the PP applies pressure to the clutch. So, the clutch will be engaged.

correct.
What you have to watch out for when torquing the PP bolts down is
that the disc stays directly in the center.
Double check it after you torque the bolts down.
If it's not directly in the center then the input shaft will not slide in all
of the way to the pilot bearing on the flywheel and the tranny will not go in all
of the way.
I had to retorque the PP bolts a few times before I got it directly in the center.
You should also replace the rear main seal when doing this project.
