GEOz2k7 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey guys, i bought a 1990 240sx, and i also have a 1990 pathfinder. My 240 i got 2 days ago and there is a loud wining noise coming from either the transmission or the throw out bearing. When i have the clutch out at idle the throw out bearing wines like crazy. and when i drive it wines a lot to. Do you think it could be just the throw out bearing making the noise? and its only when i am on the gas. Also, is there any custom long travel kits for the pathfinder that u guys would recomend checking in to? thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Why did you buy it if it is making a noise like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) have the tranny checked i had the same probelm with my ZX and had the bearings replaced and it went away then came back right away to find out the tranny was completly messed up. I can almost guarantee thats exactly what it is 99% positive thats it but you never know Edited February 2, 2009 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt find any manual ones that would work right and I had to drive to a different state just to get one for my car. Ik the ones for a 240sx are everywhere but i think mine was different so it was a bitch to find. Edited February 2, 2009 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z31 tranny or the Z32 trans? We use the Z32 trans in 240's with an adapter plate for cars pushing more than 400whp, but don't bother for anything less than that. I'd have to double check my part numbers to see what bolts up to the Z31. On the old drag car I worked on, we'd avg 7 runs out of the car with 630whp on the stock trans before it'd snap the output shaft like a toothpick.

Listed by strength of trans... FS5R30A (same internals as the Z32) FS5W71C (same internals as the 240SX, besides the bellhousing) FS5R90A (noodle of the early model turbo's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
