How to correctly drive an MT.
were could i purchase a RJMbracket and install it, also i think my clutch is burnt...it doesn't jerk my car forward when i engage the clutch after accelerating in a gear(like my old one)at all when i engage clutch it feels like its just barely getting the gear into neutral, sometimes slipping barely opening the gear box. sometimes i have hard time getting the shifter into gear i can feel the gearbox grinding on the shifter barely wanting to open... and i know how to drive mt its not my driving the clutch in this car just feels like a toy, maybe i am not use to the 13 pound lightweight flywheel...vs my old 31 pounds oem
...but...i don't really want to get use to it if this is how it performs... i like my old 31 pound oem flywheel think my best bet is to replace with a 31 pound oem flywheel and RJM bracket... i even smell burned clutch smell omitting from under my car to inside the interior... i don't mind spending some coin to replace everything if someone could just tell em exactly what i need cuz i went o a shop and they said i don't need a new fly wheel they just "resurface" it and then install a new clutch and use my same flywheel... how ever if this is the case i do need a new one... cuz this 13 pound bs isn't cutting it now if i do so do i need a new clutch as wheel... what is my best bet to take to my local infiniti dealership or a local specialist here in the city... or order a clutch kit and get my family mechanic to do it...?!?!?!???? .
your replys are grately appreciated!

It includes a light weight flywheel, clutch disc, Pressure plate, throw out bearing, pivot bearing, Stainless Steel clutch slave line and other goodies. You can buy it for + or - $800.00 and it will cost you $4-500 for the install. MUCH better clutch for MUCH less money than the STealership. Two things, it is a lot stronger clutch (450 hp+) and the pedal feel shows it. The lightened flywheel will give off a rattle at idle, this is normal. IF you can't stand the rattle, you will need the factory dual mass flywheel.

If you are not a regular mechanic, don't try it. I got mine put in for $400 about 2 years ago.
You have to remove the exhaust, crossmember and make sure you get the correct clutch pilot tool to align it alll up, not something you want to do on jack stands.

Chatter noise is very annoying & I hate it. I used Osiris to up my idle to 850 it's a little better but still there.
I think he was askin about the RJM bracket install, not clutch replacement.

I read pretty much all of this at one sitting so I may have forgotten...but I thought some of the G's (I know the Z did) came with a Rev feature that automatically matches your revs for smooth shifting. Is this not true or is it just not as accurate as trying to do it yourself? I am not new to manual trans but I was just curious. I am looking to get a 6MT at some point and I just wanted to know if my car would end up with it. I think 05 -07 had that rev match tech...am I right?
^^^Completely false. '05-'07 G35's had it. I don't know if all 6MT models did but I know that some came with it. I can't speak for the G37 though
