My JWT clutch after 9,000 :(

Well pulled the clutch out and replaced it yesterday as it was slipping like hell. Well here what I saw after 9,000. Believe the cause was a bad master and slave cylinder. That would not allow the clutch to completely disengage. But who knows. NO WARRANTY!

$450 Replace master and slave from Nissan
$600 labor ( clutch install ) an extra hour due to unexpected issues with the flywheel insert
$471 for the replacement clutch kit from Concept Z performance

Is where I'm at and it sucks...

The clutch was going to be warrantied if there were no heat spots. The whole thing is burnt... Not covered.

Yea my stock clutch lasted about 50,000 miles. But I fried that one too. Not as bad as this JWT clutch though in 9,000. No trips to the track no hard launches. bummer...

wow! another JWT clutch prematurely failing. Beebo had the same problem. I think it's time to look elsewhere when choosing a replacement.
