BLACK CLUTCH FLUID HARD TO GET IN GEAR ON START UPS??
Clutch fluid, commonly referred to as transmission oil or break fluid, is one of the vital liquids required for a vehicle engine to function. Since the fluid level reduces with time during vehicle usage, it becomes necessary to top it off in the clutch reservoir as need arises. But a
leak in the clutch reservoir will also result in declining levels. Leaks are more likely to occur at either the slave cylinder or
master cylinder, and if left unattended, low fluid levels can cause serious damage to your vehicle. You can ascertain the level by inserting a dipstick in the reservoir; however, certain signs of insufficient fluid will be apparent while driving. Below are six signs of low transmission oil.

90 300zx fuel pump works its getting spark be injectors wont open what can be the problem?
Possibly a computer (ECCS control unit) malfunction, but first check the white/black wire going to each injector. All should have power on them with ignition key in on. This white/black wire comes from the computer's pin # 58, then is spliced to all 6 injectors. If no power to injectors, check the wire continuity from the ECCS' #58 pin to the injectors.
The ground wire from each injector also goes into the control unit, but individually, so that the control unit may ground the injector circuit and cause pulse.
If the wiring is good, no breaks or shorts, it may be a computer malfunction, but first find out if the variable valve timing affects injector pulsing. I don't know anything about it, but you have 2 VTC (valve timing control) solenoids, one for each side of the engine. Both are located near or on the firewall behind the engine, near the middle. Looks like 3 solenoids there, the middle one is the EGR solenoid, and the VTC solenoids are on each side of the EGR solenoid. Best I can do from a very poor wiring diagram I was looking at.
You checked for spark, but did you check on all six plugs for spark?
Why wont my nissan start when warm
The most probable cause is a cylinder temperature sensor. It's located on the right side if you are faceing the engine. Look at where you put your coolant in, follow that housing down on the right side and look further down near the bottom of the front of the cylinder head. The color of the sensor will be yellow. The computer is looking for a certain resistance value which makes it change the pulse width of the depending on the temperature of that sensor. Nissan technicians do what is called a pinout check at the harness which plugs into the computer, using a digital volt ohm meter. You can get the information off the internet or go to a book store (Barnes an Nobel) and they carry a wide variety of auto repair manials. Haynes typically publishes manuals on different makes and model cars. Each manual is specifically for the kind of car you are driving and usually will cover several years of your model car. In those manuals they will show instructions most of the time on how to do things on nearly everything on the car except body. The resistance values for that sensor and where to check it should be in the book. I can't give you a specific value because engines get hotter when you initially shut them off and some cars run hotter than others, consequently the values will not be the same ubless the cars are both within a close temperature range of each other. The connections can even be corroded which will cause the problem. Be sure to check the plug as well as the sensor for corrosion..SCRAPE THEM CLEAN and put a little "dialectric" grease in the plug before you snap it into place.There is a box on the right hand inner fender which has a labeled cover The head light relays are in there. I think the efi relay is in there and one or two more, I can't recall and at hom with no references in front of me. To make matters worse, I have Parkinson's disease which can affect memory so what I use to be able to rattle off, I can no longer do unless it's an old 240Z or something in that era. I'm in my 60's and have worked for and witth Datsun/Nissan. (as I refer to it) since 1968..I was talking about the relays. Some of them are the same and will switch out. if you see a relay that looks the same as the EFI relay, swap them and try to start the car. I hope I might have been of some help.Right now, it's early in the morning and hard for me to think clearly. If I have any other ideas, I will surely add them.

any noise from gearbox when you engaging clutch when engine is running? Check for oil as well. Firstly I suggest to drain oil out and check for particles in the oil, synchros could be damaged
