Pull Push, Or Is That Push Pull

[Messiah]

Hey all, i know i can search for this, and to be honest i have, but its getting late, my brains turning to mush and i'm getting things arse end up.

I have an s1 33 gtst everytime i look around and see a bargain cluch going its for a later model. i know there i can convert, the question is whats the best way and what will it cost.

Ok i've see the os giken pull push converter (or was that push pull.. bugger) goes for about 300-500 depending on where u look. is there anything cheaper than this.

And can someone set me straight once and for all on which way around i'm going... it would be push to pull right???

I think the stock OS Giken is push type....and the converting kit is for pull type....

Simon,

The entire R33 range, excluding the GTR, use a push type clutch release mechanism. Below are photos of the both types of set-ups, push and pull. It is irrelevant whether the set-up you're looking at, is a single or multi plate, the pressure plate design will still closely resemble those pictured below.

Push Type

Pull Type

The only reason your vehicle will have a pull type arrangement is if a gearbox conversion has be conducted using an R34 item. If you are in any doubt then it's an easy job to double check. It's a simple task, look on the drivers side of the gearbox and locate the clutch slave cylinder. If the piston is pointing towards the rear of the vehicle then you have a push set-up, if towards the front of the vehicle a pull. Below is a picture of an R32 GTS-t slave cylinder, your set-up will have two bolts holes on the same side of the slave not one on either side as in the picture. The piston is the silver rod in the lower left hand side of the image.

Cheers for that, helped a lot. I mainly get miffed as every time i find a bit of a bargain clutch wise it tends to be pull type, which it appears is not me.
