Recommended Clutch and Flywheel
Ok time for a new tranny on my 02. Warranty will cover the tranny and I figured do the clutch and flywheel while it's out. What's the recommended clutch brand and what are my options on flywheel.s. I'm thinking a little lighter not a featherweight. Also when recommending if you can tell me if it's steel or aluminum and correct me if I'm wrong but what I remember is a 15lb steel will act lighter than a 15lb aluminum because most of the weight on the steel is closer to center and the aluminum is spread out pretty even. And for people who have experienced these did you consider them easily streetable. I've had 8lb flywheels on 4 cylinder toyotas and hondas in the past and one wasn't even noticable another was down right annoying. Thanks.

The same thing that happens to all the 6speed tranny's apparently synchros. I bought the car with 62K city miles so I know it was only a matter of time. Redline MT90 and summer weather allowed me to get this far now that fall is kicking in those cooler mornings are hell untill it warms up. To be honest I skip 3rd gear and 5th gear 90% of the time.

Best clutch/flywheel setup is Fidanza 15 pound flywheel with a stock clutch from a new 350Z (2005 +). The flywheel is perfectly driveable with a noticeable performance gain. The 350Z clutch feels better than the Maxima clutch when driving and is as strong as most stage1 clutches. The clutch is about $250 from Dave B. and he knows all about it. It's a direct bolt in with no modification at all.
I was at the grag strip Friday with this setup. I was barking the tires when shifting. That's with sticky drag tires on the car.

The 13.5 should be fine. With the weight of the flywheel and clutch together the 1.5 pound difference isn't much.
The 350Z flywheel is different and needs more modification than the starter to work.

I have the ACT HDG6 (SS disk was back-ordered) kit in my 4th gen... It chatters a little in the parking lot... and makes it real easy to blow the car up - but its quite streetable for me - I am scared to let the wife drive it though.

The prices kinda went up, so with the TO bearing it was around 310 or so. The clutch itself is around 280 or something like that. Still cheaper than a lot of the aftermarkets.
Ultrarev had the cheapest on the Fidanza 13.5 pound Aluminum for the Maxima (the only one they offer), was a little over 450. A lot of other places were close to 600. I received that already.
http://www.fidanza.com/ItemDetails.a...id=279&mkid=13 is the info for it.. Search Ultrarev by vehicle and it's the only one they have. If anyone else has a better price, throw it on out there..
Once my order from Dave B gets here, it'll go in for install. Some of the plastics and stuff I needed had to be ordered.
No tranny problems, I have 93K on my 2002 SE 6MT Meridian.
