what

[DRFT(kinda)]

I wont be a d!ck. When I started using shift lock I had a $20 AutoZone clutch and a welded diff. After 1 drift meet and a few weeks on the street I replaced it with an aftermarket clutch and the AutoZone clutch was ate-the-****-up. As far as the transmisson, I can't imagine shift-locking wear the parts out. I would figure it would just break it althogether.

thanks for sharing the info.so youre saying that the clutch could be the main problem?because for now i only have a stock clutch i am using shif lock for about 3 months so it couldve worn out?

[DRFT(kinda)]

If you have been doing if for 3 months on a stock clutch I would say it is definitly worn. Now, if you replace it with an after-market clutch, it is still going to wear out. I'm sure your a smart fellow and you know that clutch wear is going to happen, especially when drifting. But I hope this helps and have fun!

thanks again.and maybe you or someone know if clutches from european s13 200sx fit on 240sx?

[FUNGC]

depends what engine you have man.

200sx has SR20's240sx has KA24's

soo answer is no.

[itchy]

my engine is ka24de and would the clutch fit from ca18det?

and one more thing about my clutch: it works fine when accelerate but it doesnt work when i'm doing shift lock.so i'm interested why it works fine with acceleration?

Shift lock is bad news for the transmission. If you want to use this technique either be ready to put in a new transmission or just do it in the rain sparingly.

Here's an ingenious idea.... switch techniques, if you want to initate the drift try feint/liftoff or power over, and in the situations you would use shift lock just try clutch kicking.

yee but shift lock makes fun so does anyone know if a clutch from ca18det or sr20det fits on ka24de?

Whatever... your transmission.

[wankelTII]

why not just buy a clutch made for the ka?

Yes and the answer is no and no and you fail... hopefully your transmission blows up so we can all be see how shift lock makes fun.
