hello i have a 2005 g35 6mt sedan... when i accelerate i get a lag before my tires spins. rpm jumps a couple thousand, then falls back when tires start spinning.... i am thinking it is time for new clutch/flywheel but dont want to waist my time and money if this is not the problem in the first place.. any feedback will be greatly appreciated thanx...

 

another thing i left out is that it slips even more in higher gears

 

Definitely your clutch. What's your budget/ future power goal?
If you want to double check, try going up a hill in 5th or 6th. That will confirm your slippage.

 

thought so..... i was looking into getting the jim wolf clutch and flywheel any opinions on this set up? my car is currently stock but plan on adding mods but not much.. i live in california bay area and z car garage is one of the best ranked shops in the area for g's and z's .. they told me 750 for all parts 430 for labor

 

 

I would recommend doing some research on here before going with the JWT clutch/flywheel set up. I heard it is very noisy.

 

i already have the JWT clutch and flywheel and the chatter is not bad at all i can only hear it if i stick my head under the car. fyi i did research and opinions wher conflicting

 

With any lighter, single mass flywheel you're going to have chatter.

The only fix is longtubes, ofc.

 

jwt hd clutch and flywheel isnt that bad on chatter. Ive had this clutch and flywheel for about 15k now and i dont even notice it anymore.

 

For a little more you can get an exedy... I've heard the JWT in person and I though it was noisy, but that's my personal opinion

 

Mine is an 05 auto, and it does that too. is it my flywheel?

 

considering i dont have any cats or mufflers on my exhaust and i always have my radio on, you cant hear anything on my car lol

 

Clutch chatter is more than just noise. It's also vibration.

My evo had a 6puck clutch, act HD plate, lightweight flywheel and the chatter was incredibly bad. The clutch would yank and vibrate the car violently. As in, it felt like a magnitude 9.0 earthquake in your car whenever you start from a stop.

I've known people who complained about their cars making "loud" noises and lots of chatter, and after I rode with them, I laughed my *** off and told them to ride in my Evo. What they thought was "loud" was about a 0/10 compared to my evo's clutch noise and vibration.

To me, a clutch doesn't chatter until it vibrates the car enough to knock your foot off the clutch pedal if you're not used to it. (Yes it's that bad.) I've had to firmly plant my heel in the floor mat of the evo just to prevent the vibrations from kicking my foot off the clutch. I completely ruined a set of floor mats already (my heel had torn a hole in it) and it even tore enough to go through the actual carpet of the car itself.

If I switch to a different clutch and all I get is a little noise, then hallelujah praise the lord. That's 1000000x better than the chatter I had on my evo.

What I'm saying is, try driving a car that has some real chatter to it, and you won't complain so much.

 

like i said ... jwt chatter is not bad you can berely hear i acually HAVE it on my car...... bad install mite be the problem for others compaining of bad chatter and vibrations

 

thats 100% the clutch. same problem right here, im actually about to go drop it off at the shop now. if you're looking for an oem exedy replacement, i got mine for about 230 shipped from amazon.
