Grinding gears with clutch fully engaged.

While the C fits the Z series engines they (240sx and the Hardbody) are different lengths so the driveshaft will need mods.

 

The pilot bushing is about $5 and easily replaced once the transmission is out. They usually don't seize as they are soft sintered bronze and perm lubricated. They can be damaged/distorted while re-installing the transmission and the input shaft striking it. This may have been the problem.

hey guys, got the hydraulic lines working and got all the air out of them, still having a grinding issue, however, I managed to drive it down to a reputable transmission shop and determined that the pilot shaft is stuck? (still learning terminology). Anyway instead of replacing just one part  I figured while I got things apart......I would just purchase a whole clutch kit and a start fresh with new everything. I hope to start this project in the next couple of days. So far I have replaced the Battery, Alternator, Starter, Clutch master cylinder, Clutch slave cylinder, and Full tuneup. I also have a new carburetor on the way.  Not complaining one bit I got this truck for a project truck and it has not disappointed yet been having lots of fun learning how to wrench!!! It's going to be a sweet little truck when I'm all done with it!

Did you get it going your way after the rebuild?
