1991 240sx: how do i check for a bad clutch

[xckid]

My car is approaching 180000 mi. I dont think it has ever been replaced only slave cyclinder . Another reason i want to know is because it sometimes just pops out of gear when i put the clutch in and i go to move it feels like it just popped out. Also how far are you supposed to be able to push the clutch pedal in before disengages the clutch and engages< (sp) my pedal is like almost all the way out when it engages and dis.

yeah I'd say your clutch disc is done

Damn serious. *sighs* it still holds but . I would figure it eventually would give out like not even let me put it in gear

What happends if i keep driving it. this is my Daily Driver.

prob slipping all the way since it's not really the disc that's totally done for but the disc/pressure plate. so yeah eventually you won't be able to shift and will need a tow home. around my neck of the woods, that can cost as much as a new clutch disc and pressure plate.

I have the same problem on my '93 hatch and I'm getting ready to replace my clutch also. If you are wanting a stock clutch, you can go up to O'Reilly auto parts if there is one around you and get one for $140. They get the whole kit for you and if you are wanting a new fly-wheel they have those also for $85. They'll also turn the fly wheel for you for an extra $25. It's the cheapest I've found for a stock clutch kit for the 240's. Hope this helps.
