Long story short is i had bought my car with high mileage and they said im going to need a new clutch, so i bought one. I bought the JWT clutch and flywheel and that came with everything and i threw in a stainless steel clutch line. I had my clutch and flywheel done by garth at leading edge performance so i'm sure its nothing to do with the installation. I have had no problems with the clutch until the temperature started dropping in vegas. Now my clutch disengagement point is wayy to low, and i notice if i hold the clutch in all the way and put it in gear its very hard, and moved the car a tad which means the clutch grabbing point isnt set right. If theres anyway i can fix this it would be grealy appreciated.
Its not a fix its an adjustment. I am surprised that your installer did not mention that the engagement point may change after a couple hundred miles. The clutch can be adjusted so it releases/engages wherever you desire for your particular driving style. Let the installer do the adjustment.
Well, the thing is i took it to nissan. I looked up the adjustment forum on 350z tech. I went to go change it up a bit and there wasnt any room for my clutch to go any longer, then i decided to go to nissan. When i did they are charging me 100 dollars to put it on a diagnostic, and nothing came up. The master cylindar works great, etc. So now they said my brand new clutch and flywheel or my throw out bearing took a sh**, which now changed the price to 100 to 1,000 dollars. I have been driving a stick shift for over 4 years and i know that i dont shift like an idiot, so my driving isnt the problem. I dont know what to do because my warranty covers everything but the clutch, which means it would cover the throw out bearing etc. When the dealership first told me my clutch was burnt i got a new one and Garth said the old clutch was in good condition. Should i try to break them down and show them the old clutch and see if that helps or should i get my car towed to Garth's and try to do the work myself ?
BTW i honestly dont think my clutch is the problem since it performed great every day. It always chattered when since i first bought it but thats normal with JWT.
Clutch disengagement issue... need help asap
