Clutch going out?? Help!
Recently replaced my motor. Been driving the z for two days and she's been a beauty. Today, I was driving home and in first gear and right as I hit 5k my RPMs started jumping like crazy so I let go of the gas. Took off again and it kept doing it. I've never experienced this problem till now. What could it be? Clutch going out? ECU in limp mode? Also as I'm driving as I'm shifting my gears start grinding all throughout. I have to let the clutch pressed I. As I put it in neutral then back into the next gear and everything goes smoothly. Any input would be great. Thank you guys

Me and my mechanic friend. He works for dealerships. And this is my second swap I've done. Any insiders tho. Don't hold back, y'all won't hurt my feelings.

It jumps with all the gears and it sounds like it's grinding on all gears too. I had someone tell me the pilot bearing. Since I took an automatic engine and put it into my manual transmission. Is this correct?

Sounds like a failing master/slave cylinder, which may or may not have lead to a failing clutch.
If you are running the car with no pilot bushing, your input shaft is basically completely unsupported on one end.
Keep in mind auto and manual 350zs have different pilot bushings. To do what you are doing you need an adapter if memory serves.

I did not replace the clutch. The clutch is a year old. And yes, the transmission bolted onto the engine just fine. It worked great for two days before it started doing this. I went to work and after I get off it started doing. So I was a little lost on why.
