I just need some opinions what you guys think I should do. I had my slave cylinder changed last summer to fix the dreaded sticking clutch pedal. Changing the slave cylinder resolved the issue, but the Nissan dealership told me that my "clutch fork is really worn and to change that you might as well upgrade your clutch."

Recently I noticed my engagement point is right where my pedal is fully up when before is was around 3/4 of the way up... I think my clutch is still good, because I don't notice any slips.

I drive a 05' 6mt coupe.

So, should I go ahead and change my transmission internals? or leave if be till something actually breaks? LMAO

 

Get a second opinion from a not-dealer shop.

When my window stopped rolling up, my dealer tried to tell me I needed a BCM, and that it was going to cost me nearly $800 for a BCM, reflash and labor.

Turned out that it was just a few bad pins in the wire harness in the door. I have yet to fix it, but I've pin-pointed (ba-dum, tiss) the issue. And the harness costs $150 from Nissan, versus $300 for the BCM.

Also, the best way to test if your clutch is slipping on a car:

Go out and get rolling at about 25-ish MPH, and drop the car in 6th. Give the throttle a good press for about 5-6 seconds. If the RPMs rise, and the speed doesn't rise to match it, your clutch is toast.

 

Hmmm- in your shoes I guess a big part of it would revolve around how much I trusted my guy at the dealership- or the dealership in general. And if I hadnt had prior knowledge i would start looking for sOme reviews.

For example if I were told that by the service guy at regency in north vancouver or one of the boys from MNR I would consider the advice a good preventative lead. If it was someone I was more suspicious of I might be inclined to get a second opinion... Which I suppose you are sort of doing here.

I'd probably let it ride if it feels okay- but start looking for a replacement and putting money aside.
However if MNR in burnaby gave me a heads up like that I'd book the appointment and get it done.

 

Sounds like a good excuse for some clutch/flywheel upgrades

 

I actually trust the Nissan dealer over the Infiniti dealer in my city just because every job Nissan quoted was marginally cheaper than Infiniti. So i dealt with them quite a bit... Also the fact that Nissan told me about the worn fork after the job was done; other then tell me while fixing it like some con shop would do to make the job bigger than it really is. I thought this to be a sincere advice.

I was thinking off getting a 2nd opinion from 1 of my mechanics that does tuning and engine modifications. He's also the one going to installing my clutch if i decide to go that route, but I know he's going to charge me. I've done the "let ride" thing for a year now, but the engagement point is started to scare me. So kind of doing my own little research by trying other peoples cars and finding out from you guys if a worn fork is linked to this.

If I drive normal it doesn't really bother me, but spirited driving tends to be part of my routine here and there and it's kind of hard to shift fast when my car is like this lol.

 

I've decided to upgrade my clutch and flywheel with JWT combo and change my fork. Thinking it would be a good idea before something breaks
