Was out having fun in the car last week until it decided to keep going forwards in traffic when I put my foot on the clutch lol... I had launched it quite heavily a minute or so before but now it's broke :(

 

Getting it on the ramp tomorrow to see what the hell has happened to it - the clutch presses down and the slave appears to be moving the normal amount - but I cannot select any gears with the engine running. The only way to move the car is by starting in gear and letting it roll forwards then start driving but only in that gear. So I was wondering what might have gone wrong? Snapped fork maybe? Any thoughts guys?

I guess at snapped fork as well :(

when it's up on ramp you'll able to remove dust boot and have a feel around in housing

Thanks Paul yeah meant to add no fluid loss either, Z1 6 puck clutch and Z1 flywheel so hopefully they aren't knackered! :(

Hope its not to bad and an easy fix mate.

Snapped pivot ball?

Had the same problem with mine but only when it gets really hot. If you haven't swapped to a s/steel clutch one piece line, then I would recommend that as well.

Worth upgrading the clutch fork and pivot ball if you haven't already done so if you have a high pressure clutch setup.

350z clutch folk is a good upgrade for the z32 box. No modifications required

What a night, fixed my Z and also changed the gearbox in my mates SX.

 

So I took the box off and was suprised to see the fork and pivot were fine, hydraulics were fine... Was starting to wonder what the hell had happened...

 

Removed the clutch cover plate and the friction disc just sat there, melted to the flywheel :(

 

Bye bye Z1 TT 6 puck clutch and Z1 fly, hello NA Z1 6 puck clutch and Z1 fly haha :)

At least you have got it sorted mate... could have been a lot worse

That doesn't invoke much faith in their clutch does it... Are you running much power through it?

About 400bhp mate so no not really. Clutch plate was proper stuck on the flywheel
