I have a 2008 350z with 64k on it and noticed the so called normal rattle when at idle but when I press my clutch in it goes away 100%....I hear from most that this is normal but it just started happening...anyway I was gonna start saving up for the JWT clutch and flywheel combo for $774 ....and if I buy that kit do I have to change my SLAVE CYLINDER to a heavy duty cylinder for 200 dollars?? Also a tech told me when you change the slave cylinder you might have to change the master cylinder....Im actually lost in it all......My car is stock but I plan on getting borla exhaust cold air intake and other mods SO IS IT WORTH GETTING THE JWT CLUTCH N FLYWHEEL COMBO?????? from Z concepts or not,,,just deal with the SO CALLED NORMAL NOISE???? ALL IN ALL were talkin $774 for the JWT kit and flywheel.,,,another $200 if I wanna change to a heavy duty slave cylinder and $500 labor $1500 total WHAT SHOULD I DO ? AND IS THERE A BRAND THATS BETTER FOR MY TYPE OF DRIVING?? I drive not that much but when I do I like to get into it....every once in a while.....and want something to handle some horsepower down the road...So will putting this JWT clutch and flywheel on my stock 2008 hurt anything for now if I decide to get it ??? Maybe dumb question,IDK THANKS FOR ANY INPUT CONCEPT Z PERFORMANCE IS WHERE I WAAS GONNA BUY IT UNLESS ITS CHEAPER THAN $774 plus shipping somewhere else ?

dang that was long.... is your clutch slipping, still working well? the noise you are hearing is flywheel chatter and pretty common on our cars. with you having the HR and the internal slave i would suggest replacing it at the same time as the clutch so that you dont have to drop the transmission again. i would replace them together, the heavy duty slave has larger lines and the small factory master may not have enough fluid volume to fully extend the slave. i want to replace my clutch and flywheel, but i dont see the point in spending the money until i need to when it starts slipping

No it is not slipping at all works amazing

I just happened to hear it today for the first time and it kinda freaked me out,,,,i remember my mustang doing the same thing for years before it was totalled

if it was me, i would leave well enough alone for now, replace it when it needs to be. but what you could do to avoid such a big hit at once, buy the master and slave combo now and put it aside until you are ready to replace the clutch

kysersolze350Z

Its also going to take me a long while to save all this cash ...So once I have the money Im not going to replace it until it slips like you said.....Ive just been told by soooo many people that its normal...but sooner or later it will go up ...that I know Some people say their car started with the noise at 50k and still have the same sound at 130k running fine I just never know who to believe DEALER WANTED $2400 to replace clutch and flywheel OEM with a 12 month warranty or I could buy my own parts and they will do it for $500 labor but no 12 month warranty.....shorter ,if theres a labor issue

Good idea i like that what master cylinder do i buy along with the heavy duty slave i was told to get a heavy duty because of the jwt clutch kit and flywheel is that true he said it would last much longer so is there a master that goes with that heavy duty slave?

kysersolze350Z

FUNNY thing is I bought the car 5 months ago and got the gold plus extended 4 year warranty and the ONLY thing it does not cover is the clutch and any parts to do with the clutch LOL IMAGINE THAT !!!! And its hidden on the warranty

it is considered a wear item, just like brakes

kysersolze350Z

There is a heavy duty master cylinder and slave $200 each $400 BUCKS $774 JWT CLUTCH N FLYWHEEL $1174 TOTAL PARTS $500 labor for clutch n flywheel from dealer not including slave and master Ill call tomorrow for that price LOL and start SAVING its a shame cause I wanted my exhaust and cold air first O WELL I GUESS THESE UPGRADES WITH THE LIGHTER FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH n slave and master should give more performance

kysersolze350Z

THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE WARRANTY MAN SAID YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT THANK YOU SO HOW LONG DO PEOPLE RIDE WITH THAT STUPID MARBLE NOISE BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS The flywheel noise that goes right away when I press the clutch in

how long have you had the car? the flywheel with give you a little faster throttle reponse because let rotational mass. you will get used to the noise, it is not harming anything. get this setup for the master and slave

do some research, get what is best for your application.......

btw, i would say that is overkill for a daily car

kysersolze350Z
