I'm looking to do my clutch soon. I am pretty sure I want the ACT heavy duty street (whatever is a stage 1). I also want a lightened flywheel, but I'm not sure who makes one, Fidenza maybe? I have also heard of people using the 5th gen clutch, is that just mainly for a stock replacement, or would the ACT be a better idea?

I also need to do a rear main seal and axle seals while the trans is out. I can find the rear main easily, but I was told I would probably need a crank sleve or something because if the crank is grooved the new seal will just get torn up, but I can't find it. also having a little trouble with the axle seals, but pepboys or any auto store should be able to get those.

Finally I was thinking of using Royal Purple in the trans. Anyone have experience with it? Is it really worth the added cost, or is there a better than stock oil for a better deal.

Thanks in advance

Fidanza, JWT, clutchmasters all make lightweight flywheels. My fidanza clutch and fly should be here this week

I believe popular belief is that the 5th gen clutch is a bit stronger than the 4th gen, and therefore would be a good clutch for a car with a couple bolt ons, while still providing stock-like feel.

Also, I don't know about royal purple. Most people rave about Amsoil MTG GL-4 in their maximas. Whatever lube you get, just make sure it's GL-4 only.

 

If you are staying n/a the 5th gen clutch is fine. I would stay 5th gen clutch and 5th gen pressure plate with bolt-ons. The 5th gen also has stock pedal feel, the ACT stage 1 has a very firm pedal and can be unforgiving at times.

 

Centerforce Dual Friction for a clutch. my buddy swears by it for his '95 vr6 jetta, and well mine arrives in the nxt week or so.

 

im going act as well but having trouble locating some online shops for the model im looking for, wanted to see if I could find a cheaper price. if anyone can find a good price on the ACT NM1-HDMM please drop me a pm and a link !

 

I had the ACT HDSS on 2 cars, on my altima it didnt last but swapped it out cause the gearbox went.........


however on my maxima, it was fine but wore down very quickly..........not to say I was babying it but damm was a little too quick for me
