It's gettin to be about that time, my clutch is slipping when i lay on the gas in the higher gears.

so what would the maxima community recommend for a replacement?
I'm not boosted yet, but prob won't be for a while, so i'm thinkin a stock replacement should be ok, unless there is something more tough with a stock feel to it.

Where would be the best place to purchase one from, and please lets not mention the stealership

Thanks guys

I am very pleased with my Exedy Stage 1 Clutch. It's got about 45,000 miles on it and shows absolutely no sign of wear, plus it bites alot harder than stock.

. . . . . . . . No modification needed for the 5th gen clutch on a 4th gen car.

Ive always heard good things about SPEC Clutches. All the F-body and 5.0 guys run them and have no problems.

NookieMax

is the 5th gen clutch the same size and fitment as the 4th gen, is there a write up or anything I need to know?

thanks for the info guys.

The 5th gen clutch will bolt right up to a 4th gen with NO MODIFICATION REQUIRED, and stated in post 8.

If you drive an n/a max with regular bolt ons, dont bother with aftermarket clutchs like ACT, exedy or spec. The 5th gen OEM clutch will provide more than enough grip. An aftermarket clutch is just a waste of money. Many people will say that they are happy with their exedy or spec or what ever, and I dont doubt that, but its still useless.

You don't need the pilot bushing. It doesn't make any contact with anything in there, what so ever. It is suppose to help align your tranny as you put it back on the engine. However, the tranny itself doesn't even have a pilot tip for it to slide in the bushing so the bushing is totally useless. When I pulled mine out, it showed no sign of wear or tear at all. I know the bushing only costs a few dollars but you can spend that on starbucks instead.

Never thought of the 5th gen clutch. Good info

NookieMax

are all the 5th gen's the same, any difference in the 3.0 and 3.5 engines, clutch wise?

I'm sure there is a difference as the 3.5 engine puts out more power so the cluch would need to be up to the task vs the 3.0 clutch.


_______________________________

I want to say the 5.5gen clutch should work also, dont anyone buy this because I'm tink so, but in reading about the vq35 swap the clutch suggested is the 5.5gen, 6th gen, or a spec 1 clutch. When someone swaps in the vq35 they are still using their 4th gen/5th gen tranny. So 4th gen tranny with say 6th gen clutch, 4th gen flywheel. If this will work with the vq35, it should work with the 3.0 enigne because the same tranny and flywheel is being used.

If I am wrong here someone correct me. This was something I was pondering last night.
