Posted July 16, 200717 yr comment_215267 Well I just had my L28 put in my 260z. The engine is running great. Saturday I went to park it in the garage and now I have no clutch. I got under it and can feel the linkage has come off. I believe this is to the throw out bearing. It looks like the ball on the end of the cable has pulled out of the ring. I was wondering is there a place with schematics that would show the clutch assembly? Also do you know where I can buy the ring if thats what I need? I think if the ball has pulled out the ring will worn to the point that it cant be fixed without replacing. Thanks Chris.

July 16, 200717 yr comment_215307 What 'cable' and what 'ring'? I don't recall anyhing like that from any of the many times I've worked on S30 or any RWD Datsun clutch.

July 16, 200717 yr comment_215310 i believe he's referring to the ball and retaining clip on the clutch fork Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24912-help-with-clutch/#findComment-215310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 16, 200717 yr Author comment_215312 Well it ended up being the slave I replaced it and now it works fine. What I was talking about was undernieth were the clutch mechanism is there is like an arm rather then a cable the part that activates the clutch. Since there was no hydrulic pressure it felt like it had come out and I was thinking that it fit into a ring I was wrong of course but I was doing this in the dark in my driveway and since I had never really worked on it before I was guessing. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.

July 16, 200717 yr comment_215320 Glad to see you got it fixed. I had to replace my master cylinder just last week due to a major leak. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/24912-help-with-clutch/#findComment-215320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 16, 200717 yr comment_215325 Glad you got it fixed. So basically, your slave cylinder took a dump. It happens. I've done enough of those over the years that I could probably change one in the dark.
