Maybe your clutch is bad? Check fluids in transmission and diff.

[ahryell26]

damm, that sounds bad to me. ur right it could be ur transmission.

[funigui]

no it sounds like ur fan clutch on ur fan is seized!! go outside and grab ur fan and try and spin it

[ZOOMIGUEL]

okwell i will check all fluids first thing tommorow,

and about the fan thing, my fan once or twice completely stopped while i was driving, and i had to get out of car and move the fan cover which had stopped it couple times, but now its fixed and i think that might have ruined the fan

you think ? how can i fix the fan?

[Fahaka]

is this an automatic transmission?

I think it is based on the vid. It is definitely in need of help. seems to be slipping profusely, maybe a bad torque converter or something.

Time for a 5spd swap

[funigui]

if the fan is sized, buy a new clutch or install aftermarket electric cooliong fans

[ZOOMIGUEL]

if the fan is sized, buy a new clutch or install aftermarket electric cooliong fans

ITS A 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION

so the clutch is out basically?why do i need cooling fans when the fan spins? i meant that my fan got caught couple times and completely got stoppped and engine ran for 3 mins with out fan spinning.

engine does get hot tho.

ps. new radiator last month

The fan clutch not the clutch.

[Fahaka]

holy crap that is a 5spd...yeah it is time for a new clutch. I thought it was a auto with a 3k stall converter...lol

[ZOOMIGUEL]

alright

so how much you think it will cost me to get a new clutch replaced?

1000-2000?

because my car was 1200$

or should i buy another 240

do you guys suggest instead to spend that money on a new 240sx 1991 with 120,XXX miles 5 spd for 1200$?

whatd do you guys think.and if so how much should i selll the bad clutch 240. i will post pics

[Lost_In_Translation]

A new clutch??? maybe 300 installed more or less I'm not sure...

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Y WHERE U GOIN 105+ THATS NOT VERY SAFE OR SMARTI AT LEAST HOPE YOU HAD A RADAR DETECTOR GETTING CAUGHT BY THE COPS SUCK

[Fahaka]

do the clutch yourself...

[dnlx5]

i think depending on the severety of the t boning somthing in the driveling might be binding or rubbing causing the clutch to have to work harder proove me wrong or but another 240 i dont like the idea of driving a car with damage n e ways

[FattyInA240]

through out bearing and slave cylinder bad sounds to me?

[FattyInA240]

[QUOTE=FattyInA240]through out bearing and slave cylinder bad sounds to me? [/QUOTE............ sounds like u need an sr20det w/5spd swap the whole damn thing u'll be much happier

[albert_ey]

Yeah your clutch might me around $120 and installed around $300. I'm pretty sure it's your clutch that's worn

P.S. I'm talking about the clutch for transmission, not fan clutch...

[ZOOMIGUEL]

I CAN SWITCH CLUTCH MY SELF?

I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN CLUTCH.BUT ENGINE WWISE YES.

OK WEL HERES THE DEAL.

i got 1178$ from insurance , and to fix the body of my 240 is about 500$ if i do it myself... but then theres the clutch... i dont know if i should pay to get it done because i have no clue about clutch and i dont know how much a clutch would cost in a auto mechanics.

so if the clutch is less than 700$ then i will do what you guys say,,,,and i found a 240sx 1993 120K miles. for 1200$...... so either fix my car or buy a new one ..

and ... how do i check the clutch to take a look.

is it easy?

[ZOOMIGUEL]

what my car looks like at the moment,







SORRY, JUST TOOK PICS IN DARK

[Lost_In_Translation]

You can do a clutch swap yourself just search for a writeup on how to do it. And of course having a friends is a must to easily drop the transmission. Shouldn't cost much more than 150 if you do it yourself.

[ZOOMIGUEL]

ok, i foung the write up

... so is it hard at all? can i f**k up? i will hopefully get all the tools and materials by this sunday.... then i will try it out sunday or monday..

any TIPS on what to be careful for guys?

[ZOOMIGUEL]

BUMP!

[ZOOMIGUEL]

COULD IT BE I HAVE NO TRANSMISSION FLUID??

HOW DO I CHECK EXACTLY TO MAKE SURE ITS MY CLUTCH..

BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE CLUTCH WHEN IT WAS THE SMALLEST THING

[ZOOMIGUEL]

BUMP!

should i check the transmission fluid?

i bought some lucas trans fluid , but i dont know how to put it in my transmission?

[ZOOMIGUEL]

Y WHERE U GOIN 105+ THATS NOT VERY SAFE OR SMARTI AT LEAST HOPE YOU HAD A RADAR DETECTOR GETTING CAUGHT BY THE COPS SUCK

well

ive gotten 131 MPH on my speed radar.. AND ON MY GAUGE CLUSTER THE SPEEDOMETER WAS DOWN WAY PAST 110 ... HAHA

and yes i have A VALENTINE radar detector, its very sufficient and lets me know when theres a cop from 2 mile radius.(saved me about 15 tickets)

[albert_ey]

Yeah there is a write up on checking the transmission fluid on here.

Here is the link:http://www.240sxtech.com/

Look for the Transmission and Drivetrain section. You will find everything you need to know there.

[Florida240sx]

Clutch swap cost you $15 in gear fluid and probably 4hrs for labor. I can do in 2 Shops usually charge 250-250 for labor. I got a guy that does it for 100 Make sure you resurface your flywheel.

[ZOOMIGUEL]

well im gonna look , see if ican do it myself, then i will see if a shop can do it for 200$....
