Chutch Problems

[chriso_R33]

hey all. I have something to report that happened to me this afternoon and was wondering if it happened to anyone else. I have a 93' r33 GTST Manual, with the 5 speed standard box and a twin plate exedy chutch with standard fluid lines, standard master and slave cylinders too. I was driving home this afternoon and i shifted from 3rd to 4th and the clutch pedal felt weird. I pumped the pedal a few times thinking it was an air bubble and the on the second pump, i lost the pedal all together. I pulled over and had a look under the bonnet to see if i was leaking fluid, but i wasn't, i looked under the car to see if anything was obviously wrong. I found the clutch release fork loose in the hole in the bell housing. I'm thinking that its the fork retaining clip.. The long belt wire looking thing. Just asking if anyone else has had this happen to them and what did they do to fix it or improve the design. thanks all...

P.s... I'm devistated the gearbox is gonna have to come back out again!

back again guys.. good news, its only gonna cost me about $20 to fix the chutch this time, turns out the pivot bold snapped off in the bell housing, so unluckely for me the box had to come out, only took me 25 minutes this afternoon tho.. all good.. I'm gonna be crankin around again by thrusday..

Yeah I had this happen to me too, replaced with one out of a Nissan Serena gearbox that was floating around the workshop.. appeared to be a heavier duty item than the R32 GTSt one (thicker, tapered shank).
