Unless you are running boost, I would suggest you install a new OEM clutch. You can order it from Courtesy Nissan at a discount. A new clutch disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing runs less than $200.

Get an OEM clutch like stated above.


I would not let Midas touch my car for an oil change, let alone a clutch install. I would find a better shop to do the install for $400.

The OEM clutch is not less than $200. The Key Value clutch from Nissan is less than $200.

You do not want Key Value. Ever. Under any circumstances.

Get the real OEM clutch kit, it's more like $300.

Look, I called Courtesy Nissan myself. The Internet prices are what I said they were. The parts man said they don't offer Key Value parts unless the customer wants to special order them. Those are the OEM replacement parts.

I don't know why you seem so sure of yourself when you clearly didn't bother to check your facts in this case.

Look for yourself:

and call them if you wish:

1-800-527-1909

THEN, if I am wrong, you can tell me.

I suggest exedy. Its stronger than stock, yet the pedal feels better than stock for the daily commute.

I got an exedy because i wanted something better than stock. i'm not boosted but the clutch really does feel a lot better than the stock one.
