Awesome. Did all s13/s14's come with clutch dampeners or just some?

As far as I know, all manual transmission 240sx's S13 and S14, SOHC and DOHC came with the damper system. If for some reason your car doesn't have one and you didn't remove it, then either:

1. Previous owner removed it
2. Your car was swapped from auto to manual
3. Maybe you have a different car and you're on the wrong forums LOL

 

i would like to thank you for that writeup ive been searching since my clutch is feeling sloppy and kept reading about the dampener and didnt understand where it was it only to me 5 minutes to realize after reading your writeup...now im gonna go outside and bleed my clutch as well as remove that shit...also i noticed my tie rod boots need replacing so ill be using your writeup again when i get my lazy ass outside and do that better do it soon lol....thanks again keep it up :thumbsup

 

Good to know I could help out =)

 

looks goos as long as no one breaks their line. Not hard to figure out but the idea definitely never crossed my mind so thanks.

 

wow, never thought i'd see two writeups for the same thing on the front page of teh diy section but i guess wonders never cease around here...nicely done

Whenever I write something new I post links to it on 3-4 forums. I didn't bother checking if there was one already on this forum. If it bothered you, well... :dancingco

 

Raine, you're a 240sx genious. excellent write-up!

 

this is a useless DIY i did it 2 weeks ago and i dont notice a diferance.

 

I lifted my car to remove this and it was gone already. I haven't driven any other 240 so I wouldn't know if it feels better.

I did it and I can tell a difference, great write up :thumbsup

 

OMG! thanks SO MUCH DUDE! i just finished doing it.. everything went great, except it took like.. 2 hours. the 10mm open wrench wasn't gripping right and it balded the screw and there was only 1 sweet spot where it turned the screw. other than that everythings great. greatly appreciated. keep doing write ups yo. heh

 

I wanna do this, but I have nobody to help me bleed the system once I get everything removed.

 

Great writeups, very detailed thankyou

 

Is this just for the KA24DE engines or for the CA18DET's as well?!

 

sweet ill remove this tommorw when i bleed the clutch

 

For some of you that have problems with the hardline bolt there is a simple way of getting it loose. You will need a locking set of visegrips and you will simply clamp down on the nut and use a hammer to tap it loose. Flare nut wrenches aren't that god for stuck bolts. And don't worry about crushing the bolt with the vise grips it will hold up fine until it comes loose...

 

I wanna do this, but I have nobody to help me bleed the system once I get everything removed.

I bleed all my brakes/clutches by myself and have never introduced air into the system. All you need is a some clear tubing (preferrably silicone) to hook up to the bleed screw.

Just make sure that immediately where the tubing connects to the bleed screw, the tubing is higher than the bleed screw for at least 6 inches of tubing. The more tubing you can raise above the bleed screw, the better.

When you press the clutch/brakes, make sure you hold it at the bottom for a short while to allow any air bubbles to go to the top of the fluid in the tubing, then pump again. You'll have to check periodically to make sure your container doesn't overflow and that your master cylinder doesn't run low on fluid.

Also, I performed this mod but didn't notice any difference whatsoever either. I guess it will make future clutch fluid bleeding faster, but clutch fluid shouldn't need to be changed often.

 

i did this today
very straightforward,
i have 2 240's right now
i have a ss clutch hose in my good one thats also the one i removed the dampener system from, if i walk between the two and feel the clutch pedals there is no contest i can vouch for this mod.

 

now what if your clutch is about to go.. kinda slipping and almost ready, can you tell a difference and will it mess with anything. very nice website good post

 

i did this to mine and bled it out but i didnt feel any major differences. it was alot easier to bleed though. great write up and very helpfull when it comes to having to bleed your clutch when no one else is around.
