2k2 Clutch
Well I was at work today and this 2k2 max 6 speed comes in with a tranny problem. Well It ended up being the clutch but the thing that surprised me was that this car was a 2k2 and only had 18k on it. The driver is a young lady and the car is in mint condition. Doenst look like it is ever abused or anything like that. Well the car was still under warranty but the nissan warranty only covers the clutch disc and nothing else. It got me thinking in what condition my clutch is in and maybe it is time to upgrade. I currently have 48.5 on my engine and tranny.

I'm changing mine next Tuesday. My car just rolled over 90k. It still drives fine on the street but was slipping last time I was at the track. Power upgrades plus the new drag radials must be too much for it. ![smash](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smash.gif)
Fidanza aluminum flywheel and Clutchmasters stage 3 just came in and are waiting for my next day off.
Her clutch was probobly just a fluke or she is a really poor driver.

are you working on this car, or another tech?
how long you been a tech for?
every make ive worked for has covered p/p and flywheel for runout.

heel-toe shifting isn't really necessary, it just allows you to get back on the gas faster while downshifting.
and as far as the original question, i'll agree with everyone else about her riding the clutch. one of my friends had to have a clutch replaced after like 15,000 miles because she used to do the same thing... the first time i rode in her car i mentioned it, and she doesn't do it anymore.

i dont think tapping gas before letting out the clutch does anything. tahts what the synchros are for. it wears out much more when you have it partially disengaged and giving gas. the gear is half connected and the clutch is half connected.

I have never ever seen anyone rev match. and everybody i know owns a stick. maybe it just never caught on in my area - haha.
on a similar note, my 2k2 clutch is extremely high. is that the standard? i havent driven any other max's. is there any problems with adjusting the pedal? i just dont know if i want all that play in the pedal.
