Like the title states. My clutch is giving out so time to upgrade and might as well upgrade the gears. What should I get? Im planning on boosting in the future but till then I have most of the NA bolt-on mods except cams, headers and im sure some other things. Thanks

 

Are you talking about your Final Drive gear? The clutch/flywheel and final drive are completely in two different location, you won't save on any labor at all.

 

Yeah, well, I was thinking 3.3 gears. I know its in different locations. I meant since its gonna be lifted might as well I have 05 6mt so I just wanna know what people recommend as far as clutch and flywheel and gears... Anyone?

 

Why would you put 3.3 gears into a bolt-on car? Only time you should consider going DOWN in gear ratio is if you are well over 500whp. Just get a JWT clutch/flywheel and you'll be set for a while. If you plan to stay N/A look into 3.9 or 4.08 FD. To do a final drive install requires specialty tools and a competent installer. Figure 500 for the gear set, 300 or so for install kit (if you have over 25k miles), and another ~400-500 for install. That is just for the final drive. Another 775 for the clutch/flywheel, and 350-450 for that install. I would set aside $2500-$2700 if you plan to do it all. It is an excellent mod, but not for the feint of heart.

 

^ do you have the JWT clutch?


if so i was wondering, does it engage like the stock one? i want to upgrade soon and after suspension mods, this will be my next upgrade.

 

No......I run an OS Giken integrated set-up in my car. Can't comment to the JWT, but it is just a 1200kg pressure plate with a stock style sprung hub and clutch disk. I would imagine it essentially like stock in terms of engagement (perhaps slightly harsher), and a bit heavier in the peddle (increased pressure plate load).

 

Thanks for the insight. Im a bit noobish on gears 101 lol. So what would be ideal for an rev-up 6mt?

 

4.08's from a frontier.

 

The heavier the pressure plate the better

thanks for your input on that.

as long as it's not like other clutches that are on/off
