Thread: '97 200sx SE-R VE Swap

It's a brand new Timken TOB, no the PP is the new one that came with the clutch disc

did the pp look ok? i've done tons of swaps and never heard that noise before. def not a good sign..

Granted... It was a cheapy ebay stage 3 6 puck but my buddy said he did the swap with that clutch and didn't have a problem with the clutch and the PP didn't looked damaged?

was that broken TOB an ebay part to? LOL

i buy alot of things from ebay.. but when it comes to important things i always buy the good shit.

get this:

Key Value Clutch kit 2.0, Sentra B13,B14,B15 2.0 The Key Value clutch kit contains OEM pressure plat

an just dont beat on it too regularly lol, thats what i got in the gf's car an it works great.

Yes it came in the clutch kit haha. I learned my lesson on cheaping out on important stuff, I bought good everything else but ran out of money and the clutch was the last thing I bought.

is this worth the extra $140 if I plan on taking it to the track every now and then?
Clutch Kit Bundle, 2.0, Stage 2, Stg 2 : Key Value clutch with 2k SE disc, t/o bearing and clips, ax

Now I didn't notice a pilot bearing when I took the tranny of the DE, correct me if I'm wrong but their not used on SR20's?

yeah man it would work.. but if your going to go a step further this would be the best bang for your buck.. lot of guys run this including my self.

Clutch Kit Bundle, 2.0, Stage 3, Stg 3 : JWT Pressure plate with 2k SE disc, t/o bearing and clips,

you CAN just order the clutch disk an pp to save some cash, no need for the axle seals an rear main seal if they dont leak i dont touch them. but i'd def get the new tob an clips again even if its redundant..


that sound is metal on metal, like a grinding or shaving sound.. is it possible to put the tob on backwards? that'd make that sound if so..

Pretty sure the TOB is in right, there is a flat side and the side that spins (not flat) is what is facing the PP with the clips on the clutch lever

no sr20's do not need the pilot bearing/bushing thing..

you sound like you got it in right by the way you explained it so thats good..

did you make sure to use both dowell pins AND the plate between the engine an trans? sorry if i repeat my self im just tryin to help.

is it possible the disk is in backwards? just askin'.
