I meen it's not like you have serius power mods. I would not change your Clutch unless it is slipping, which it should not be because your car is so new. BTW if it is slipping have Nissan put a new one in for you under warranty.

My clutch is getting there.

wouldent i have to take out all my mods then?
I realy want the extreme ACT clutch any ways!Im also looking for a flywheel.

my Clutch slips because my SC is over powering it. I will probably get a Alloy Flywheel from Stillen and a Stage III Centerforce Clutch{from Stillen too}. I had the same setup on my max and it worked great. I have heard ACT clutches are known to rip a part alloy flywheels because they stick to well, go figure.

LOL! If you really get the ACT Extreme clutch, then you're going to find your car drives like CRAP. First of you don't NEED a stronger clutch. I'd stick with what you have until you either get something like the supercharger kit or add a big shot of nitrous or your original clutch REALLY DOES start slipping. Don't assume it's slipping when it's not. That said, I have the ACT heavy duty clutch w/ heavy duty pressure plate and modified stock disk, and it is a perfect clutch for a slightly modified Maxima. I replaced my stock clutch because I had to replace the transmission, so I might as well have done the upgrade to kill 2 birds with one stone. The stock clutch actually holds fine, but is not nearly as smooth in operation as this ACT clutch. The ACT is an improvement definitely, but not worth the $$ if the stock clutch had still been okay. This HD ACT unit will hold ~40% more torque than the stocker. You have some room to play with more mods (ie it'll work with the supercharger, nitrous, etc).

The Extreme clutch is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more than you need. First off, it uses a metal puck-style disk, which holds like mad but is terrrribly rough. It engages immediately, which is good for a monster engine at the track but will 1) damage your tranny and crankshaft over time, 2) make everyone who rides in your car HATE you, and 3) makes you look like a fool on the street because you'll stall the car more times than not.

Getting a "race clutch" does not make your car faster, but will make your car a nightmare to drive and will ruin the drivetrain over time.

With that said about the ACT Clutch, what would you recomend? My current clutch is going and hopefuly I'll be installing a Supercharger and maybe an NOS system so I need a better clutch. I was thinking about centerforce or maybe the JWT clutch, I want it to hold more power but don't want to distroy my tranny or have a hard launch clutch. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I know how to drive.....I've driven my friends car w/ an extreme ACT clutch and i loved it, and I had no problems driving it.I know it will mess up the tranny by time but this is what I want.


Not to be mean, but all im asking is will the 99 fit on the 2k?

more then suffeciant for a highly modded 95 NA Maxima. I only used it for about 1500 miles though so I can't really say how long/Little it would last. I am personaly going to go with the Centerforce Clutch again because there is little if any info regarding other Clutches and I have all ready had a good experience with it.

What is the price on one of these?
