Didn't know what they were talking about, because I was just elated they were replacing the tranny. They said they didn't think the flywheel would need replacement, however.

Oh yeah, I'm having the service done at Riverside Infiniti. As far as I'm concerned, I will never go back to Montclair...except to *****.

Now, comes the real dilema, should I upgrade the clutch and flywheel now? Pros/Cons? I need to decide on this really soon since they are ordering the tranny now. How much do these cost.

So the moral of this story is, trust the guys on the forums instead of your dealer!

If you are not planning on taking your car to the strip or doing some serious mods or a FI system, a stock clutch is fine... The throwout bearing they are wanting you to buy can be inspected once it has been removed, this part should still be good, however, it wears as you hold your clutch in, like when waiting on a traffic light, so if you tend to hold your cluch depressed for longer than 10 seconds (or so) when stopped at a traffic light etc., you may want to go ahead and let them replace it while the tranny is out, it cannot be replaced without pulling the trans...

I'm very happy to hear they will take care of your transmission with the new revised one; I now have that same new one and love it!!!
