I just did a conversion on my C33 Laurel Medalist, it was an Rb20det with transmission and i converted it to a manual gearbox...the car is able to move but i'm getting a noise from the clutch...sounds like a grabbing noise or something and these a smell that goes with it when i get the noise...smells like the clutch...

can anyone tell me what is the problem with it? where did it go wrong and how can i repair it?

the gears go in ok but yes they go in slighty hard...when i did the conversion we did not put a brass spigot bush back in the crankshaft..but i'm not sure if that can casue it or what else it might be ?

any ideas?

ok i have a few points here and just would like to know what you all think...

1. Clutch Release Bearing2. Brass Bushing (the one in the back of the engine crankshaft)3. Pilot Bearing

which do you think would be my problem more than likely?
