I'm thinking its about time for me to change my clutch... and I"m just wondering what are some good brands that you guys have had so far... how much they go for, and how much it usually cost to put them in at a shop?

 

my exedy slipsim not happy with it however there are guys here runnin 12lbs of boost on it so maybe i got a bad one.

 

5th Gen clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing.

Stronger and more grab then 4th gen

$205 from internet

 

I have a unorthodox racing stage 1 and unorthodox racing flywheel, it didn't cost me anything for installation as my tranny was being rebuilt at the time . It takes a little time to get used it.

 

i ended up getting a napa clutch, which slipped doing a 1st to 2nd gear shift with like 100 miles on it. then i took it easy again for the remaining 400 miles while breaking in, right aroun 300 miles or so it got real real sticky, i am pleasantly surprised

 

So a 5th Gen clutch is the best option? where can I get it from the internet?

You want everything from a 2000-2001 max.

Clutch Disc
Pressure Plate
Release Bearing

 

and all those are under 200?

 

Yea you can find it all under a 2000 maxima.

 

I'm wondering if I have to replace the flywheel as well, because sometimes shifting can be a pain in the ***, it doesn't go in smoothly, and I kind of have to force it in, and when I don't it grinds the clutches... any ideas?

 

5th gen clutch setup is the best setup hands down for a N/A 4th gen no matter what mods.
engaging difficultly would be the clutch. But resurface your flywheel + new clutch and all should be butter smooth (if you do a bleed too)
