Project Fairlady Silvia, for now I have a fix in place it is a work around in the process for the moment till I can get a replacement block. 
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a shifting issues with it, that didn’t seem right at all. I revisited the clutch master and slave and a new line and all seemed to be good with pressure but the pressure plate was not. <\/p>\n

When I pulled this plate out of the VG, 2\/3 of the teeth was faced in words and I did not get a picture of that but I was able to swap it out with the old pressure plate by Rhinopak. <\/p>\n

It took some time, but a lesson to be learned here is never buy ebay junk so my only fear is the clutch itself shredding. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At this time I went a head and replaced the throw out bearing since the old on has been on there for over 5 years (left) and the new one on the (right) <\/p>\n

When that was installed it did feel better with the clutch and stuff. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Reassembled the clutch on the vg block and reinstalled the transmission, this took the majority of my day to reinstall. But when completed I have ended up with a dead battery as the battery is on a dead cell and does need to be replaced asap. <\/p>\n

But the next day, I was able todo a few test runs and the clutch was solid the pressure was great, I was able to shift like I should.  I was satisfied for this now, and I feel more confident in driving this car now. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is my current walk around. <\/p>\n
