Hello guys,

I just got done with my Auto to Manual conversion on my N/A z32, i was super excited to finally get rid of my auto transmission cuz it sucked! my car is on drivable conditions

it starts fine, i haven't figured how to do the reverse lights yet but i dont think that would be a problem, my issue is here.... my clutch slips bad when im on third to fight gear, first and second seem to hold pretty good. Do you guys have any idea what could be making it slip?? has anybody experienced the same issue and fixed it? Any thoughts are welcome.

I have a resurfaced flywheel and a brand new clutch kit, new clutch disc, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, new slave and master cylinder. The clutch has been bled pretty good the pedal is hard and stiff.

Could be because you have the brand new clutch..needs to be broke in..is it stock or aftermarket? The pedal shouldnt be hard at all...i have a stage 3 by fidanza and its extremely smooth...i did the auto to manual conversion myself. As far as the problem goes....When cruising in third gear does the shifter seem to jump forward slightly when you throttle up, and jump back slightly when off the throttle?

Guys, thanks for all your imputs i got fixed, the pedal clevis was super tight which made the throw up bearing get stuck on the pressure plate, so i had to pry bar it out and then adjust the clevis behind the pedal, now the cars drives like is supposed to!! Thank you very much
