Clutch questions

What clutch would you guys recommend to increase performance on a NA maxima? Also, how hard is the install is it something I could do with basic tools or would i be better off bringing to a shop? How can you tell if your clutch is going out>

ACT all the way for clutch replacements. You can do it yourself but I recommend a few people. It will make it faster and easier like on parts where your removing axles and have to pull on one side while releasing it from the other with a pry bar.

Also check out this site www.motorvate.ca they have some really great writeups that can give you a general idea.

It can *if* the stock clutch is not able to transfer the power from the flywheel to the axle (in reality, you just lose performance due to slippage and drivetrain inefficiency so the aftermarket clutch is able to gain back that loss by holding the power)
