I put an ACT in my 300ztt. It was great> much stronger and cheaper. You still have 5X$60/Hr or about $300 but the ACT will hold longer and with higher HP.

I had my '95 done for $710...$210 for parts and the rest was Nissan labor. Sounds about right if that's including tax.

Why the hell are you having the dealer install your clutch. I had my tranny rebuilt and a factory style clutch (not Nissan, but another company that makes a factory replacement) for $900.

Good question.

I have the Premium (bumper to bumper) After Warranty package, I WAS thinking it would be covered. TO my dismay, "wearable items", such as clutch,brakes, and tires are not covered. I also took it in because my car got stuck at WOT. I had already planned my purchase with yo_its_ok, this was a last ditch effort to see if it was covered because I was layed off and am short on money.
Peace
