take into account that a lot of these aftermarket clutch and flywheel systems don't use a dual flywheel its a single one, its going to be more heavy duty and wont wear as fast but the OEM was designed to be very quiet and very smooth in shifting, and also, i know that "chattering" is a bit of an issue with aftermarket. There is a lot of options you need to address. If your not going to drive your car hard i would recommend going stock, i just had to replace mine and i put a stock clutch into it...it actually drives a lot different from when i first got the car, the clutch is much easier and shifts are much smoother....just my .02

 

Never heard of the clutch in this car going out in less than 45K UNLESS it was abused or used improperly. I read here how one guy used to slip the clutch while waiting for a stop light on a HILL! Some people ride it, some slip it too hard and MANY, MANY here just launch too hard too often.

Not saying at ALL that you did this. I saw where you just bought it.

 

Cool Story Bro.

 

G stock clutches feel too soft. I loved the clutch on my VR4 that I sold years back. But if you aren't going to drive it hard, stock clutches will suit you the best.

 

okay guys... just a quick update.... Got the JWT and lightweight flywheel in....absolutely love it. This thing drives nice, the pedal action is great, although a little stiff, but that's reassuring because the stock clutch felt so wimpy....anywho...anyone looking to get the JWT kit...go for it, it's great

 

I agree... Either you need to learn how to stop burning clutch. 43k on a clutch are signs of ABUSE

 

Doesn't exedy have and oem replacement clutch for the g35? I bought my g cpe this past august with 83k miles. Its a 6MT and the clutch is still good. Don't know if its already been replaced or not. It does however make a loud noise sometimes when I shift into fifth gear tho.

 

Wow, my clutch has close to 170000 k on it and it still works fine. I guess I just don't abuse it enough!

 

As I said... That was a car that got tracked and beat on. My statement was that 45k is a good time to replace a clutch in a sports car...

It only takes an afternoon and is a simple project.
Lol burning the clutch is not what killed it. As stated that car was modded tracked and abused, hell I dont think I burned the clutch once in it. Again I am skilled driver it wasn't always on the street.

Again my point is that he doesnt know who had the car and if it was tracked before... Therefore when you buy a used car and the clutch is no good after you already drove it and liked it... Thats your problem. These are issues that come with buying a used car.

Like I said I have other cars that have had 100-200k on stock clutches. Those where only street driven. Once the car is ACTUALLY TRACKED (see time attack/drift/dragraced/autox) dont expect the clutch to last def not a stock one.

Nismo would be a good choice as it isnt going to be too expensive. Under $500 and install is going to be $350 or so

 

Thanks Hun!
