Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Over the last month driving the roadster a couple of times each week, I've been noticing that it has been harder and harder to get the car into first or reverse. It is now almost impossible. What is the most likely cause of this? Clutch adjustment, clutch Hydraulics, or the clutch itself. The clutch is supposed to be fairly new.

Thanks!

I would guess that you have some bad synchros in your tranny. Even a new clutch will not help that. I have never rebuilt a tranny before but plenty of people have. Parts are available. Unfortunately the only way to know for sure is to pull the engine and tranny and then tear the tranny down.

I would first check the Clutch Slave Cylinder, how was it when you adjusted the new clutch. Is it way out at the end, or was it pretty easy to set. Its always a good idea to check the SLave Cylinder when replacing a clutch.

Thanks for the feedback. Bleeding the slave and adjusting the clutch fixed the problem.

Coool! Glad to here it was the easy fix.
