Thread: Broken clutch arm :(

i have a serious crack in my clutch arm, right near the pivot point (1/4 inch from it) it is not fully disconnected, but i can not disengage. is there any chance of repairing this without removing the trans? can it be welded - braced for more rigidity?

Can be welded yes without removing anything. (Might want to disconnect the ECU before you weld.)

good thinking!
thank you!

this just happened to me the exact way. welded mine up but i opened the tranny and disconnected the TO bearing so i could slide the lever arm up higher so my welder could get beneath the crack. If your gonna do it do it right

so how exactly did you "open" the tranny? and how long did it take? if you dont mind me asking.

Take the bolts and mount off and seperate it from the motor. Then the bellhousing is all open

Happened to me also I had mine welded for about 2 yrs with no problems...Until that day it broke again.....Finally replaced it and new clutch and flywheel to boot....

This is a common problem on B14's. The only real way to fix it is to replace it with a B13 arm or the newer arm that nissan revised. My boy welded his also and it held up fine until it cracked again...

hmm good to know.

indeed, thanks!
