Posted August 28, 200915 yr comment_293167 I know this has been discussed many times and I've read the archives, but I have a bit of a different need.Before our race, I want to replace the clutch in my 74.5 260Z LeMons car. I cannot spend much money due to the rules, so I can't simply get a Nissan clutch or other quality unit. That said I still need it to be decent. I have found lots of REALLY cheap clutch kits on ebay which is what I will probably be forced to use, but I don't know which to get. I have never had a 260 before and everything seems to be a hassle. Every kit is either for a 240 or a 280. Does anybody know if a late 260 is the same as a '75 280? Everything else on the car seems to be, but I couldn't find if the clutch/flywheel is 280 or 240. The best deal I found was for a reman clutch from Fort Wayne Clutch and Driveline. It says it fits for everything from 74-89(???). and it's only $59 shipped for the full kit. I don't know if a reman kit from a "local" shop is better or worse that a new kit from an unknown supplier.Reman kithttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-Clutch-Kit-280Z-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ200112068721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2e979bd871&_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116New kithttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Clutch-Kit-75-76-77-78-79-80-81-82-83-84-95-Nissan-280Z_W0QQitemZ230151491659QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item359619104b&_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116Here is another new kit that says it's for a 260.

I don't want to throw away money, but yet must keep the cost to a bare minimum.
