i need a new clutch. let the wife drive the car last weekend and now everytime i let the clutch out it smells like its buring. Im thinking she burned the clutch out. Where are some good transmission shops around sacramento?

 

LOL that sucks! u going oem again?

 

i dont think i will. prob something aftermarket. OEM suck. also whats a good clutch and fly wheel? i want something to last a little longer than 30K.

 

Wow, you guys went through that clutch fast. I'm currently at 50k miles on my OEM clutch/flywheel and still going strong. I currently have the JWT clutch/flywheel in my garage waiting for install. Not sure if I should wait for the stock to go out to install it. I have heard very good reviews about JWT. Also don't forget to change the clutch line as well when you change your clutch.

 

PM Cloud. Think he still has this ORC clutch/fly set up.

As to where in Sac for install...

 

well i bought the car in june with 24K on it but i think i was going out then but didnt know since this is my first G35 coupe. It just now started to make that burnt smell. Guess the guy who had it before me really didnt know how to drive a stick. I though i should get at least 60K out of a clutch if not 100K. Guess thats what i get for buy used but i got the G a price i couldnt turn down and has everything i wanted.

 

anybody know of a good shop for clutches and install?

 

Picking up the JWT clutch and flywheel and some new stainless steel lines in the next week or two...clutch might go out any min the dealer says..

 

one question do youg et mad at the stock clutch chatter?

 

i know that feeling i just bought my car with 38k miles (has 41k now). has the burning smell... i took it in due to a "noise" when i turned off the car ended up being the tranny something was loose so they are replacing the whole thing and are checking the clutch if the clutch is messed up at all they will replace it free (or atleast there going to try to make it free if there is no signs of abuse on it) due to the tranny being messed up.

 

fyi frog out clutch chatter alot, when you turn it off if you hear some clicking clunking noise its the chatter, easy way to figure out if it chatter step on your clutch when you shut down if it still makes the noise bring it back in.

 

ahh ya it started doing it, then it wouldnt do it at the dealer but they looked at it, i guess they were able to hear it they put the scope on the car and had a guy turn on and off the car ended up being something in the tranny so they ordered me a new one and are going to install it free

 

lucky, did you pay the full 29k for that car btw?

 

u mean 29,988 :P no. Got it for 25,900. blue book trade in is 25.5, private is 27-28, retail is 30 i think it was. according to kellys blue book that is. i was gonna get a 350 but they didnt have navi in them except touring model and it would be 27,999 + 2-3g just for the navi, then tax's then i found my baby at a lexus dealer when i went to go test drive them


SORRY for hijacking the post i will shut up now, lol. post in my thread i made topic should be "infiniti g35 coupe" or something like that.

 

ill take it to the dealer ship. hopefully its under warranty.
