Thread: problem tranny sr16ve on sr20de

yeah i'v put a brand new act clutch/pusherplate as well... so any way to fix this prob by reducing the travel of the levers?

Not sure what you mean, but you need to add a spacer to pull the cable further out, not further in



This is the problem, are you using an OEM Nissan brand cable, or a generic cable? Did you change the cable?

i'v searched for people that got same prob.. and found some quote:
"Overthrowing is when you depress the clutch and the slave cyl moves so much that the release bearing moves too far and it actually pushes the friction plate back onto the flywheel and causes drag. Mine used to do it when i first got it and i cured it by fitting a smaller master cyl. A good cure on a Honda is to fit a 1/2" master cyl"


"Try pushing the pedal in about 3/4 of the way and slowely go further down from there. When mine was first installed; if I pushed the pedal all the way to the floor, you couldn't get the car out of gear becuase it was "overthrowing". You probably acutally need to make the pedal throw shorter rather than longer. If you adjust the rod above the gas pedal; you also need to adjust the switch at the top of the clutch pedal.
I had to adjust my cluth pedal travel at least a half dozen times during the break in period. Once we get your pedal working properly; we will work on the squeal that will probably develop with the car in neutral and the clutch out. I've had my SPEC Stg2 and LWFW in for about 6 months now, so I 've been there."

^^^ This is not your problem. Trust me when I tell you, and just like Dre said, the ACT clutches DO NOT WORK without clutch adjustment issues. You can buy a 1.6L clutch for a GA16 sentra, it is an inch shorter. But it causes shortened TOB life because the TOB will ride the pp all the time.

I have installed 3 ACT clutches, and 3 clutch specialties clutches. All the ACT clutches had adjustment issues, and I won't use them again.

I did have a JWT pp that had adjustment issues as well. But my other JWT pp worked just fine. There is something up with aftermarket clutches where they can't get something right. I am tired of dealing with clutch adjustment issues, and I hope to never have the issue again.

yep my friends jwt pp / b15 disc adjusts fine with the new oem sr cable

My jwt pp / b15 disc / new oem cable is fully adjusted an if i dont get a spacer eventually its going to suck

Guaranteed cable is stretched, I've seen this happen a few times and every time it was fixed with a new clutch cable.
I had a stretched cable in my g20 and it had similar issues and I went to home depot, found some thin washers with the same diameter of the clutch cable deal and threw a bunch together, probably 1/2" worth and it fixed my issue.

I had this issue with an exedy clutch. You can search for exedy and you will find a few posts about it. It sucks, I had to adjust the clutch so that the first 3/4 did nothing and it had to go to the floor to work right. I had a brand new OEM SR20 cable too.

Just cut a small piece of aluminum tubing to fit around the end of the cable for a spacer, it will make a HUGE difference. I think Miko may sell them pre-sized.

Aren't there different length cables for cretin body styles?

The ga16 cable is supposed to be a bit shorter and will give extra adjustment. I just put my b14 cable in my NX the other day because the crap generic one that was in there stretched/ripped. It seems pretty much the same between b13 and b14, but there are different part numbers for each car. The b14 cableseems like it may give a little more adjustment in a b13.
