1.Flywheel - 61 to 69 Foot Pounds
2.Pressure Plate - 25 to 33 Foot Pounds
3.Bell Housing - No specs found. I would say 25 to 35 foot pounds should be sufficient.

Bolts clean on ->flywheel to crank, ->pressure plate to flywheel, and ->bell housing to back of engine, I would use TWO drops of Loctite Red threadlocker, on ALL of these bolts.

Hope you have an alignment tool for your clutch disk when you install it. Auto parts stores sell the plastic one's cheap! Saves a LOT of headaches!

Tighten the pressure plate EVENLY! Snug the bolts down until they just TOUCH, then go in a criss-cross pattern when tightening. Do the tightening in incremental stages! You turn one bolt one thread, you go across to the opposite side, and turn that bolt one thread. Keep criss-crossing so the pressure plate goes down EVENLY. (YES, it's a pain in the keister!)

If NOT, you'll have a warped pressure plate, and it will be junk!
Thanks for letting me say that, I feel better.

    Did my clutch set ..same flywheel ..wont go into gear after mass bleeding

  • joecoolvette
    joecoolvette Dec 20, 2016

    1) Did you pressure bleed the Clutch Master Cylinder?
    2) Don't know offhand if it's possible with this Nissan or not, but on all other cars I have worked on you may be able to reverse the clutch disc. Actually put it in backwards. Goes in, everything looks copacetic, until it's all back together, and doesn't work.
    3)Clutch Set? So I am to assume clutch pressure plate, and clutch disc replaced? (Some kits also come with throughout bearing, but probably not this model)
    Reason I need to know is if both components were not replaced, one may still be faulty. The Pressure plate. Cracked/broken springs on the clutch disc will only be a problem once the vehicles moving/being shifted. Cracked/broken pressure plate pivot point will be. Cannot go into gear. Why? Pressure plate isn't releasing. Isn't pulling the plate back. This 'pivot point' I refer to I do not have the actual term for. May not be used in your pressure plate design, but in case....In this design for the clutch pressure plate the diaphragm 'fingers' are all interconnected, and of course in a ring shape. This piece sits on top of a metal band, or ring; if you will. If this ring pivot point cracks/breaks, the fingers won't pull the clutch plate back. If you did replace the clutch set, and have pressure bled, then the Clutch Slave Cylinder is at fault.

Pressure plate bolts install

Not sure what the question is, but pressure plate bolts should be installed after you put the clutch alignment tool into the clutch disk, then tighten them a little bit at a time in a criss-cross pattern to avoid warping the pressure plate. Use a dab of blue lock tite on each, and don't over tighten them. Use correct torque value as shown in your shop manual. They must not be over tightened as this may lead to bolt failure. I once saw a truck which the owned thought had thrown a rod and locked up, only to find the clutch had recently been replaced, bolts over torqued, and one broke, causing the bolt head to jam between the flywheel starter ring gear and the bell housing. It is not a bad idea to replace these bolts with new ones also.
