5 spd question (clutch)

How many miles did you have on your stock clutch before you changed it and what brand/type did you replace it with?
Have you even changed it yet?
I've got just a little over 100k and haven't changed it yet. I cannot even detect any slippage.
Thanks for the info

changed mine at 130k but that was only beacuse the clutch gave up on me. have no idea what kinda clutch was put on it though i payed 500 for it. heavy duty racing clutch. no worries though, it was a close friend that installed it. clutch doesnt engage untill the pedal is passed the brake pedal.

100,xxx on stock clutch. It still grabs hard, but from time to time it just doesn't feel right. I'll probably end up putting one in when I go home around December.

Speaking of which, does anyone recommend any online places to buy a STOCK Nissan clutch. I just want to get prices, since I can probably get it cheaper through our shop.

Mine had a stock clutch on it which lasted till 123k. Replaced it with Exedy oem replacement (on ebay) its like $130. Comes with everything you need. Put 3,000 miles on the exedy no problems whatsoever. I was gonna go with a stock replacement but none of the local dealers had all of the parts. One would have the pressure plate, one would just have the throw out bearing, etc. I put my saved $200 to an alarm/remote start system.


I bought my max with 120k on it and it had the original air filter believe it or not! One previous owner.
