So I managed to disconnect the fork on the pedal from the actual plunger rod... By doing this I discovered exactly where the full engagement point on the plunger is. Mine was not allowing it to come all the way out to the 'full engaged' point - my suspicions started when I did a hard full throttle shift to second and heard it take a second of slip to fully engage (no wheel spin either). Anyway, I got it back in (which was a royal PITA) and now I'm right at a point where I simply cannot get it to turn any further. It is literally a half a turn away and there is plenty of thread, but it's just 'stuck' and it's so damn cramped in there that I can't get any leverage on it. Any advice?

 

BlueSlate: The only way I could get any traction on the rod itself was to loosen the jam nut closest to the firewall with a crows-foot wrench and a universal joint. Sears had them on sale a couple of years ago, and these things are great for tight spaces. I then used a kit that is designed for rounded bolts with an offset for the socket to do the actual adjustment and grab the rod. The tool works a lot like a pipe wrench, it only goes in one direction depending on how it's put on the bolt.

Even with the seat laid flat and all the way back it is a real PITA to reach. Good luck in getting it put together!

This what you are doing?

 

i dont know what you were trying to do man, but there are reports from other 350z HR owners that the crummy OEM fluid overheats on hard shifts and makes that transient "slip".

the solution was replace fluid and install a steel line
if you were gonna adjust the clutch pedal fork, you were supposed to mark the original position for reference. i dont think we can be any help, you have to do some serious trial and error now
