I have an '06 G35 Sedan 6MT. The clutch has been slipping for the past few weeks and is now pretty close to undriveable. Taking off in 1st is similar to revving it in neutral without touching the clutch whatsoever. Prior to that, on multiple occasions, the clutch pedal has stuck to the floor. I purchased the car with about 115,000 miles on it & it has roughly 121,000 miles now.

**QUESTION**Can anyone that has done this before give any special tips or point me to any awkward tools or bearing pullers I may need in this process? I have most regular tools available to me, and I will be attempting the replacement of everything with the car on jack stands.

I will be posting plenty of pictures and info along the way during this process! So any help will be amazing.

I have the clutch section of the Service Manual from NICOCLUB:

I have the DIY from NICOCLUB:

I have ordered from IPP:
JWT HD Clutch & Flywheel combo
IPP Stainless Steel clutch line
IPP Chromoly Pivot Ball (sedan)
Nismo Roller Bearing

from RockAuto:
OEM-like slave cylinder
OEM-like master cylinder

from Amazon:
Redline MT-85 (4 qt.)
Motul RBF 600 (2 qt.)

 

Today I received my IPP order!

 

Maybe a new clutch master and slave?

 

^^ Must've missed where I had ordered those parts already. What you see below is what came in from RockAuto for roughly $30 a piece plus shipping. Top is master, bottom is slave.

 

hmmm.. you guys suck, car is in the shop now at Garrett's Transmission. Should be done Monday!

 

Just got it out of the shop. A world of difference! Can't tell much performance wise concerning the flywheel (I have been away from the car for some time driving a work truck).. However clutch pedal feel, engagement, etc. is completely different (not in a bad way). The window in which it engages is much smaller, so I have to pay a lot more attention until I get used to it again. Pedal is much stiffer, but not to where it's annoying. Probably has to do with the SS clutch line, fluid, and the clutch itself. I don't notice any of the 'chatter' everyone is referring to. All in all, everything seems great. Haven't launched it yet. Almost stalled it backing up for the first time out of the lot! Any questions, just holler I guess.

Hey Nad , just a little question , does the transmission lose any oil while changing the Clutch ? did u have to change the trany's oil or u just did it cuz u were at it ?

 

You don't have to change it.. like you said, I just did it because I was at it. If you still have your original fluids, I'd change it if I were you though

 

Great ! thanks a lot brother ! the thing is i just changed the Transmission's oil a couple of weeks ago , and now i need to replace the clutch , but i went through HELL to get the OEM oil as it doesn't exist anywhere near where i live , so i was afraid i might have to change it again and suffer the pain again of finding it !

 

No worries!
