New Clutch
For the past few weeks whenever i have been shifting it has been real notchy and for the past few months my clutch has been engaging really high. I am goin to buy a new clutch real soon so i wanted to c if i could get some insight on wat kind of race clutch to buy.
i have been going through all threads on the forum for the past hour for clutch info, but still any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

A "racing" clutch most likely isn't necessary. I replaced mine with a 5th gen. and it's better than stock. Are you planning on doing the work yourself? If so, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. I did mine myself thinking it won't be too bad, but if I had to do it all over again, I would pay someone else to do it.

my clutch is kind of messy too, sometimes I have to kind of force it in.. I'm thinking of getting a 5th Gen clutch and pressure plate when I get the money, but do I need a flywheel as well, because sometimes when I'm on neutral at a stop light and I'm just shifting for fun, it won't go in at all like it was jammed... is it the flywheel?

Well, technically all '00 to '03 Maximas are "5th gen", but there are some differences. '00-'01 had a 3.0L engine, like our 4th gen cars do (except with some tweaks). Those are the ones from which the clutch kit will work on our cars. The '02-'03 cars had the newer 3.5L engine, so they are usually called "5.5 gen". Clutch kits from those cars are different and will not work for us.

Wrong. You missed the last two sentences of my post:
