my clutch went out on me early as well, was super pissed off, but i upgraded to a nismo clutch, resurfaced the flywheel, got new bearings. all in i spent around 1K (labor included). let me tell you it feels HELLUVA lot better. i was pissed at first but now pretty damn happy. the clutch catches towards the bottom and it grabs with much more authority. it sucks but at least i have a good strong clutch, definitely improved the daily driving experience
