Dave G Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Crossing fingers too. I guess if it was your slave cylinder that needed replacing then it makes sense to change the clutch at the same time as it's accessible at that point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorZ Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 Picked the car up a couple of days ago. Everything seems fine. The clutch has a nice smooth feel to it. For the past year or so I found the clutch juddery when stop/starting in slow moving traffic. There is no judder now. They gave me the parts that were removed. I would like someone to look at them but I don't who at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave G Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Great that you have your car back and everything is better (smoother). To be honest, my clutch can sometimes judder in slow moving traffic... I'd be curious to see the clutch so if you have time, pop some photos on here for us all to see (of course I wouldn't be able to tell if it's worn or not as it needs measuring - pure curiosity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My clutch Judders until the engine and transmission is warm and it has done since I bought it.

ProfessorZ Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 Can't believe how heavy the clutch is. Here are some pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorZ Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 Does anyone know of someone in the South West who could look at this clutch? I would really like to know if it really did need replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav C Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 There still looks to be a lot of friction material on the friction disc and there are no obvious signs of wear or damage, maybe the issue is with the pressure plate?

Dave G Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Thanks for sharing the pictures. Do you have a local independent garage nearby you could show the clutch to? I've just taken a look at the service manual, attached are some screen grabs on how to measure the wear plus the wear limit. From your photos it looks like there is loads of material left...

I can't find this info about clutch discs in any of the booklets I have. I have 3: Owner's Manual, Navigation System Owner's Manual and Warranty Booklet and Maintenance Record.

Dave G Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 The above screen shots are from the Nissan maintenance manuals that the dealers use. These are not supplied with the car so the data won't be in any of the booklets you mention. I can't take credit, some enterprising individuals got hold of these and put them on the web so I took a copy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
