Hi everyone. My clutch went out on me last week. I went to the dealership and the new clutch and flywheel is 2100. I looking to see before I make this change what other things I should do. Is there a After market kit, a good dealership in SF Bay area to get it done at, and any way to make the clutch easier (Extermely stiff).

Any help would be great.

 

i've heard the jwt clutch and flywheel combo is pretty good, search.

 

Please tell me that this isn't true... $2100? Whhaaaat?

and I read an article not too long ago stating that we only get about 30k out of our stock clutches.

What other options do we have (different setups?)

 

1200.00 jwt clutch/flywheel.

 

Only 30K miles? I was hoping more like 50K or more. Also, I guess the JWT is $1200 not including labor huh?

 

I dont know where the hell u heard that...but there are many 6MT's out there with 60K miles and beyond on the stock clutch and still biting hard. Yes, there have been cases of clutches prematurely wearing due to defectiveness, but you must be out your damn mind thinking Nissan is going to place a clutch in a 35K car that will only last 30K. That's gotta be the stupidest thing I've read all week..

Also, the JWT clutch is only $400 ...

The labor is what will eat you up a tad bit more. Don't have the dealership install it, go to a reputable body shop, they are a bit more sensible.

 

Read the Car and Driver Long Term Road Test report on the 350z. They got 23k out of the clutch and was not able to get it covered under warranty.

 

Well C&D beat the dogpiss out of their cars so I'm not suprised it only got 23k. The clutches aren't the most durable in the world that's for sure, but should be good for 60K with a reasonable amt. of care.

 

I think it's pretty much common sense how well you treat your tranny. If you're clutching out at 4000 RPMs from a full stop 4 times a day, then yeah, it's pretty safe to say that your car is taking a beating. It depends on your driving profile; ride hard and you can expect wear and tear parts like those found in your tranny to give away faster.

 

WWOOOWWWW! $2100 man... ur nuts if u agree to it lol Mine went about 2weeks ago and i ordered the JWT Clutch and Flywheel combo. I did AAALLLOOOTTTT of research before buying it. It costed me $810shipped BRAND NEW from Mike at Intense Motorsport ( Great Guys ) and its going to cost me about $300 for labor. DONT GO OEM FOR $2100 MAN!!!!!!!

Hello,

Hey Khalil, glad to see you are happy with our services! (Great customer by the way!)

The JWT Clutch/Flywheel combo is the most common setup out there. Jim Wolf claims the clutch will hold up to 600ft/lbs of torque. So far, from what I have heard, it has been one of the most reliable setups out there as weel.

zdamen1, these are available, so if you are interested give the shop a call, and I'll get you takin care of! Thanks!!

I wouldn't go to the dealer to have a clutch changed. Either bring it to a shop or do it yourself if you're feeling adventurous. A shop would probably charge you significantly less for the labor than Infiniti would and you can bring in your own parts and have them install them without any fuss.

 

I was quoted 800 for just labor from Infiniti

 

The JWT clutch/flywheel is the exact combo I have too. I'm just waiting for my stock ones to go out before I install them. But I too have heard that this is the best combo out there.
