Default I never see anything like this before....

A month ago I did a thread about my dead clutch , so I spend the money in a new one , and it take more than 3 weeks to get here.
Yesterday I was removing my clutch and my surprice begin , one flywheel bolt were broken in there , and the head of that bolt doesn´t release the disc clutch , so the problem never was in my clutch
My Fidanza flywheel is misaligned and the guide is broken.
Please take a look on this pics:

who installed the clutch the first time. that sucks. that could cause some serious unwanted main bearing wear as well. i would drain the oil and take off the oil pan before i started that car back up...


good luck

I have seen where a few broke off, did you install the flywheel with some lubricant on the bolt threads? the manual suggests oil, this helps the bolts thread all the way without resistance from the thread and get a good torque on them.

I you look to my older posts,in 04 i had almost the same problem,but to the oem flywheel-bolts and almost a run-out clutch at only 3500klm,as the car was pretty new!!!,but the dealer chaged all,and i mean clutch-pressure plate-bolts but didnt use locktite because the mother nissan of netherlads didnt find it good, without a second word..
