Clutch installed ! Here's my story.

Well with my Max's Clutch slipping I decided to replace it with something better than stock . I ended up having a solid steel flywheel made by South Bend clutch and using a Exedy DE 350z clutch. It was a pain in the @$$ to get the transmission back in but use of the engine hoist made it much easier!

I filled the trans back up with Amsoil GL-4 well worth the money for this oil as it makes the shifts feel less notchy . I have been taking it easy to break the clutch in but the car shifts easier ( with Amsoil ) clutch engages and disengages much smoother and NO chatter at all !
I'm overall very happy with this setup.

Shiny new flywheel



Stock clutch thickness (what was left )



350z clutch thickness



350z disk



350z pressure plate
