People with stock clutch and flywheels, check in

over 100 Track/street launches ranging from 2500-4500 rpm.
about 30 powershifts from 3rd-4rth
atleast one hard shifting a week.
Burned the clutch 4 times back in December of 2004 when just had the car.

At 57k still going strong, what about u?

The reason i created this thread is because i see a lot of 05-06 G35s with after market clutches.

44K and no signs of trouble... but only had the car since 38K.

My style of driving is pretty aggressive - probably run through 1st to 2nd to 3rd hard at least once a day, and most days I put less than 15 miles on my car. Haven't done any track days or anything, and I haven't powershifted (which I take to mean leaving the gas floored while tapping the clutch to shift) in my G at all - got all that out of my system in my old Prelude.

My transmission, however, occasionally acts up. I have a feeling that might go b4 my clutch (Powertrain warranty FTW!)

47K miles on stock clutch.

FI for a little over two weeks (1.5K) and fried the stock clutch.

Now I have the JWT clutch flywheel combo.

25K on my 06 oem. Don't beat on it abusively. Occasional twistie runs with high rev quick heel-toe shifts and rev matched down shifts. No issues so far.

20k here, still going strong. Flushed the clutch fluid once though to get rid of some of that contamination and to get a better fluid in there

74k on my stock clutch and tranny. 2nd gear is a little hard to get into and sometimes 3rd, especially when it is cold. I have a feeling that it will need to be replaced soon, hopefully under warranty. I also heard that the 03/04 models have some tranny issues, and this could be a result of that.
