OS giken clutch advice needed

[sx gaz]

the os release bearin is thicker than standert hence why you cant get a gear great clutch took 2 year off abuse in my car and i still got 500 for it when i broke the car but my left leg is def bigger than my right lol!!"!!!!!!

what carpo said!! Get yerself an os release bearing and you'll be fine!! Rb box will be fine with the os release bearing!!

deffo what carpo said, i done mine today and got the release bearing with it, even stated when ordering it that the kit uses x release bearing and the part number required, the sleve on the bearing is slightly longer, also did you make sure your flywheel bolts where the right length, in some cases with those kits the flywheel is thiner and requires you to modify the flywheel nuts by cutting 2-2.5mm off the end.

thx for the help here lads.... im still doing loadsa research here, been in contact with d uk os giken crowd aswell, der suggesting its the carrier that the release bearing fits on might be the wrong length causing the bearing to sit too close to the fins on the clutch cover, but the only ting throwing me off now is..... that im fitting a rb25 box now, the sr box in it is only temporary, an wondering are the carriers (and bearings) d same in both??

yep sr and rb carrier are almost the exact same from what ive seen. same release bearing too.

The OS giken release bearing definatly isnt the same as the nissan one though, its got a very different profile

when i put the os giken in my 180sx i had to get the proper release bearing and sleeve for it. its the shape and design of the release bearing that hits the fingers/springs of the clutch in a different spot to normal clutches.because they're double sprung the release bearing is designed to touch it closer to the tip of the fingers giving the law of the lever effect and making your pedal feel lighter than any other twin clutch etc... the diference in the sleeves is the lenght.

i too am now putting in an rb box so need to do all the reasearch again to find out what bearing and what sleeve i need to fit my sr20det TR2cd clutch while using an r33 rb box............. let me know how you get on and i'll let you know if i get anywhere.

oh and about the blank post from the other day i was away and tried to reply from my phone. didn't go too well eh!
