Hi Everyone,
I have doubts that my 1989 R32 GTR has the original gearbox and clutch, how can I tell for sure whether it's a push or pull type clutch? I do know it has to do with which side of the clutch fork that the slave cylinder is on, but I cannot find anywhere clarification on which is which. What type of clutch is it, if the slave cylinder is on the engine (or front of car) side of the clutch fork? If I can find this out then it obviously also answers for the opposite side. Please only post if you know for sure as I've already read enough threads on here and GTROC UK where the information is incomplete or there are conflicting opinions...I need facts! Thanks to everyone in advance  Cheers! Craig --------------------  |

Its dead easy....look at the way the clutch slave rod points.
If it points to the front of the car it is a push clutch. If it points to the rear of the car it is a pull clutch. So yours is pull if its on the engine side and points rear. Good score in an 89 GTR. -------------------- |

Why the difference, are the later pull clutch designs more efficient or better or?

The pull type clutches cost slightly more than the pull type, so that's one con...you would hope there were some good pros for paying more Does anyone else know why they changed to a pull type clutch on post 1993 model R32 GTRs?
