300-400 RPM slips in 6th gear acceleration, Clutch review question on exedy brand..

i'm assuming my clutch is going out, it grabs very hard and will spin the tires easily in first gear still, which is the first time ive ever spun the tires on the car on dry pavement was to test the clamping of the clutch, but after letting my car sit for a week i took it for a drive yesterday and on the interstate at about 65-70MPH i was accelerating to pass a car and when i first pressed the gas the car reved up about 400 RPM then slowly settled back into place before acceleration... im assuming the clutch is on the way out, so i was looking at this clutch kit for my completely stock 2004 G35 sedan 6 speed, i dont care about clutch chatter at all, just wanting something reliable that i can drive.

its about $350 more for the same clutch kit with a dual mass flywheel, i dont really care about the chatter though, just want it drive able.

any opinions would be appreciated.

I bought the Jim Wolf Technology Clutch pack. I have never been happier. I don't think I will ever need another. It's good for 475-500 hp and the only "cons" are the chatter (doesn't bother me either) and it will give your left leg a work out.


This deal has been going for five years and it includes everything you need for less than $800. I have a mechanic do mine for $450.

Im pretty sure my car already has the stiffest clutch pedal in the world, ive never met anyone who has said differently, and ive got two custom fiero's with 3800 supercharged engines and one is using a Ram Kevlar unsprung hub clutch and its simple to push and the other is using a spec stage III clutch, the stock G35 clutch is 10 times stiffer than both my fiero's.

Im seriously considering the JWT setup, ill be doing the clutch job myself as ive got a lift in my garage, just debating on the extra money ill have to spend on the JWT setup over the exedy.

One thing to consider, the JWT fly wheel has replaceable friction inserts so IF there is a next time, you don't have to buy a new flywheel.
