  • 1993 Nissan D21 (Hardbody) will not go into gear with the truck running. Here is what the issue was on my truck.
    I changed the following.................
    -Clutch Master Cylinder
    -Clutch Slave Cylinder
    -Rubber Line to Clutch Slave Cylinder
    (((Tires still spun when started in gear with clutch pushed in.)))
    So I pulled the transmission and found the broken spring on the clutch disk.
    I then changed................
    -Flywheel
    -Clutch
    -Pressure Plate
    -Throw Out Bearing
    ((((While the transmission is off, you may want to change the rear main seal on your engine.)))) I did!
    ((((NOTICE: You are 99.999% likely to need a "Drive Shaft Carrier Bearing", so order one ASAP, or get one from your local parts supplier.)))) I did!
    Transmission was cleaned with foam degreaser, followed by four soaks in "Purple Power Aluminum Brightener" from O'Rilleys.

    A wealth of information! I didn't get it all in one viewing and plan to watch it again when I haven't already had a beer. I have a roughly similar problem, but I suspect a different cause. Still learning.

    This just happened to me today, luckily I have a stage one clutch on standby. I knew eventually the stock clutch would go since I drift mine. Lasted longer than I thought. Thank you!

      No worries!
      I put a "Clutch Max" stage one in mine with a new flywheel. The kit off of eBay.
      I can't stand how grabby it is now. No give at all. Even a Stage 1 for a daily, I would never do it again. Other than that, well worth the $130.

    Pulling a transmission on a 91’ Hardbody that sat for years in a field in Louisiana. It’s far enough off the dowl pins, about 1 inch from the engine but doesn’t want to separate. I think it’s rusted like yours was, gonna keep prying and pulling. Thx for the vid

    • @PDofLA
      @PDofLA  Před rokem

      Yep! If your pilot bushing it chewed up like mine was, it will definitely hold onto your transmission input shaft for dear life. Mine was also hard due to the upper dowl pin being swollen. Have fun, and PRAY you get years out of the little truck without having to do this job again.

    This happened to me and I had shifted through first after a jump started dot-dot-dot I replaced the master& slave cylinder and it's still acting funny and neutral but it goes into first and sounds kind of weird so I'm I'm expectint what you're going to say

    Luk not good update😢... It gives a clutch fork vibration which might introduce air into the system through the slave cylinder I've had to bleed my clutch system every 6 days for over a year now I don't think it has a leak gonna check I rebuild the damper With 700 PSI gasket maker versus Kim

      This truck is trying to kill me. This is the worst clutch job I EVER done.
      My Mazda 626 was ran through wet concrete by the previous owner before I bought it. And that clutch job was still a cake walk compared to this truck.
      Down to re-installing the drive shaft, and I mushroomed the drive shaft bolt, trying to get the new carrier bearing on.

      ED. I got an issue. Maybe you ran into the same issue on G Moneys truck? (Same height)
      I tried (THREE) carrier bearings. All of them fit great from the trans to the cross member. (Front Driveshaft)
      BUT
      When I go to put the rear driveshaft on, it pushes the carrier bearing forward towards the transmission about 3/4 to 1".
      It makes the carrier bearing look pregnant. lol
      Did you guys change the carrier bearing on G's truck?
      If so, what part #?
      Did you have any issues with binding up of the drive shaft, with it lowered, with the new carrier bearing?
      It's like the bearing sits "Perfect" in it's perch, but the rear driveshaft grew a inch since I removed, and replaced the damn carrier bearing.
      Any help?

      Yeah I had this issue back in 2015 when I first got the truck, and tried 4" blocks.
      I forgot what bearing I ended up with, but I did end up with 3" blocks, cut with the correct pinion angle. And my bearing finally sat correct, and no issues at all until now.
