hey guys just a quick question, What is the clutch bracket for? i didnt put mine back on when i replaced my clutch and flywheel? is it needed?

k well this is wierd but i kinda like it hahah, since then ive been driving the car every morining and the issue is no longer relivent. it seemed to vanish. but i never adjusted the pedal...i wouldnt even know how? and i looked under there and where it seems like there would be a spring on the pedal, there isnt any spring......i looked at my brothers s13 and his clutch pedal doesnt have a spring eather. but clutch pedal travel and stiffness is good. well i hope the clutch problem doesnt come back, but if it does ill try to bleed it again and if it does not work ill update the syntoms its performing. other than that ,thanks for your replies. .

the spigot bearing...i didnt know the exact name ...but i didnt replace it. I did replace the throw out bearing tho. last nite i finished everything up and installed my tranny and fired her up....seems to run great other than one problem.... the pedal seems to feel really mushy and weak. sometimes its pressed in and wont come back up and it wont engage in gear? i did bleed the clutch cilendar.....so i dont know whats goin on? i came accross many threads on diffrent forums and people with similar problems after changing there clutch/ flywheel. people sudjested to bleed the clutch more untill i felt the the diffrence in the pedal, even read that people have bled there clutch system for over an hour to get all the air bubbles out of the system and that worked for them. but i did notice one thing when installing my new throw out bearing to the shaft of the tranny, i notice that when i pulle the lever all the way down on the side of the tranny the throw out bearing would get stuck on top almost disangaing from its path of travel. but would come back after i pressed it again manually with my hand....so i think my problem has something to do with my throw out bearing getting stuck when pedal if fully pressed to the floor? i did grease the bearing for smooother travel. and i also noticed that after i shut off the car for a while and took it for a drive around the block later that nite that it seemed normal and the problem had dissapeared as if it never happended. but at diffrent times it would do the same thing.....mushy pedal dropping to the floor when fully pressed ,not engaging in gear.... id had to try to put it in gear numerous time before the pedal actually workded. should i continue to bleed the system and see if it works ? whats a solution for this annoying problem? or does my pedal need to be re adjusted all over again?

Hi , my name is Chewy Im 21 and I own a RB25DET powered S13. I ussualy work on my own car and when i come accross a dilema i search for a solution online ussualy, on car forums such as this...or nico,zilvia, nwnissans...ect Im replacing my clutch/ flywheel. I replaced my oem clutch with a 6 puck clutch and replaced my flywheel with a lighter flywheel. everthing is torqued to specs and ready for my tranny to bolt rite up (so i think..) Dilema#1; after i replaced those things (clutch/flywheel) i started reading online, everytime you replace your clutch/ flywheel , you should also replace your pilot bearing/bushing. now this is after everthing is already installed and torqued down. i relized that i didnt replace the pilot bearing nor the bushing. is that a problem ? should i be worried? am i ok to continue and bolt the tranny back on? Do you guys think i should unbolt everything, start from the begining and replace those things aswell? Dilema #2; i noticed after i bolted up everthing that the clutch is in contact with the pressure plate/ flywheel ( like panckakes) everthing looks good but i went to the front of the car and turned the main crank pully and it turns the flywheel. i know the flywheel never stops rotating when the engine is on but when i turned it, it made a friction sound as if the clutch plate(6puck) was too close to it causing friction? it wasnt hard to turn nor was it a harsh sound . i simply need to know if thats normal and if the clutch is always in contact with the flywheel or is it suppose to be free flowing/ spinning without contact? id like to know what you guys think. im doing this on my own and i wanna do this right the first time. and i dontknow if im taking things to serious so any information regaurding this topic would help. thnx guys!
