Alright, since I need a new clutch, I'm gonna replace it myself. Its gonna take me a few days, but I figure I better do it before winter time while its still nice out and I can ride a motorcycle. Anyway, since the Quaife LSD is also on the brink of coming out, and my Y pipe is still off the car, I might as well go all the way and replace the clutch.
I took out the transmission on my old Camry before, so dropping transmissions is nothing new to me. I'm probably gonna get an ACT clutch. While I'm at it, I want to get the LSD from Quaife/Cattman but its mad expensive, however, I do feel a FWD POSI would be very nice, especially with one that has nothing to wear.
In the process, I also want to either get the OE flywheel lightened, or an aftermarket one. And, I'll get the polyurethane motormounts as well to tighten up the wheelie hop.
So, in short, I know how to remove a FWD transmission and have done it before, just never on a Maxima. Anything to look out for?
