Jim Wolf Technologies Clutch and Flywheel....getting installed tmrw!

Ok after three months of my clutch progressively slipping (especially at highway speeds) I finally received my JWT clutch and flywheel. I ordered from one of the vendors on driver-ARTrace (great packaging, saved me tons of money on customs!) Well im driving down to Advance Powerhouse to get my clutch and flywheel replaced. I'll get some pics and initial reviews in a couple days.

anyone know if you have to get an alignment after replacing your clutch?

^No alignment is needed, it is not connected to any suspension components. You do have to align the clutch to the transmission spline (comes with aligning tool), which Advance Powerhouse will take care of.

Your gonna love it. I had mine installed 2000 miles ago and must say it's an awesome setup. Smooth engagement and more torque!

Ill give you a review once i WOT after i break it in... my initial review for daily driving --> it's a billion times grabbier than my OEM clutch, probably twice as hard to engage (coming from a stock 06 clutch/ rumour had it that older models had stiffer clutch?). But im happy because it's solid and I know will last me for years to come...

The flywheel is great too...for some reason many people complain about chattering, I have none at all (knock on wood).

I was just about to ask if you had chatter, since almost every install review I've read consisted of chatter complaints.

Don't worry the chatter will start soon, mine was quiet too when I got it installed last year. It sounds like an old diesel now when idling.

Sounds great that you are happy with the JWT clutch and flywheel, I am thinkin of getting the same set up.
Does getting the clutch and flywheel installed by a private shop void your powertrain warranty with Infiniti
