Hi All,

 

long time since I've posted and hope all are well!

 

Unfortunatly my Pivot ball on the clutch fork has snapped and I'm wondering If anyone has succesfully managed to change it without removing the gearbox? It's clearly visible through the hole where the fork arm sticks out, I'm wondering if once the slave Cylinder is removed and fork pulled back if its achievable? I really cant be assed to remove the gearbox tomorrow!

 

Cheers

Funny you should post this, my mate just snapped his on an rb25 box today was thinking the same thing, was contemplating making the hole where the fork is a little bit bigger, will depend if there is enough room to get the new pivot in place and screwed back in, i did a search on the net but nothing came up.

 

I may be able to update this in a few days, one way or another its going in :wack:

I would not suggest cutting into the grearbox bell housing, he should really remove the box If he has to. Will start mine a bit later although will try to get the pin out through the hole, looks bloody tight though!

Good luck, I have a spare box I was going to dig out and see what the possibilities are, your going to need to retrieve the snapped off bit too dont forget.

well, I though I had managed it through the fork hole, managed to unscrew the old pivot pin with a couple different angled 17mm spanners. Got the new one back in but unfortunaty I dont seem to be able to get the fork back on its lugs, tried a few different ways but no joy. so bloody close too. Just like most jobs with the 300. Always got to take the long way round, I think nissan could defitly done a better job with considering after sales service. The Z is deffinitly not in my good books right now, have to remove all the exhausts, propshaft, linkages, mounts and box just to change a bloody pin. NOT HAPPY!
