How do you replace a clutch disc and kit on a 1991 Nissan 300ZX?

Answer:

Clutch

This is a summarized explanation; it is recommended you consult the repair manual for vehicle or consult a transmission shop.

On a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the driveshaft, transmission and bellhousing must be removed in order to access the clutch. The clutch can then be unbolted from the flywheel. Remove the flywheel, inspect carefully for cracks and resurface. Some flywheels are flat, some are stepped. Be sure the proper step measurement is achieved.

Always replace the full clutch kit, disc, cover, release bearing and, if equipped, pilot bearing.

Reinstalling the transmission is one of the most difficult parts of the job. The transmission is heavy (you will need a floor or transmission jack, or a strong helper) and the clutch must also be perfectly aligned (with a pilot tool) so that the transmission input shaft will slip into place.
