I very sure i need a new clutch cause it wont even engage so what are the parts i will need and where is a good place to reaserch for the best performance clutch i can spend up to 400.00 on it (please help)

 

You can get the total clutch kit from them. I'd say go with centeforce nopi sells two levels. The first level is for light nods and holds 30% more than stock. The dual friction holds 90% more than stock, this clutch though is hard to get used to. I'd say go with the stage 1 kit and at $208. You cant beat that.

I have had the ACT heavy duty clutch w/ modified street disk on my car for over a month. It's a great clutch. Pedal effort is almost the same as stock, maybe a tad stiffer, engagement is very smooth, and it's rated at around 40% greater torque-holding capacity. The pressure plate is stronger than stock, but the clutch disk is simply a beefed-up version of the stock disk...organic friction material just like stock. So far, I'm very happy with it. I honestly think the kevlar/etc liners are totally overboard...organic liner is just fine and engages smoother than anything else. I got my set from another Maxima owner, but he paid ~$360 for the entire clutch set (including bushing and bearing). I checked around awhile back and that was a typical, good price for the set. The code for this clutch set is MDMM I believe.

 

As long as you don't have a supercharger or nos, just get a new Nissan clutch. I have 76000 miles on my original clutch and I can still cherp the tires when I red line into 2nd gear. I'll be getting a new original clutch myself in few weeks.

One of the fastest normaly aspirated Maxima's around was Jeff Ketch's. He used the stock clutch, and was still able to run a 14.3 1/4 mile. That's testimony right there how strong the stock clutch is.

Nissan will do it for about $700. Ouch!
