Yeah, I hear you. It seems like the same cycle on repeat everyday. Glad your doing well. Atleast most of the drivetrain is finished. I think the only thing I"m missing is the differential. Could only imagine how much quicker the new clutch combo will be.

Update: Clutch/flywheel are still decent. It has a good amount of life left, but since the transmission was already being swapped why not just go the extra way and put a fresh setup on there. I'm pretty sure the stock clutch could have held up just fine.
It's getting there.

Update: Well unfortunately, the new setup has been short lived. Something internal must have failed from what it sounds like. It will be taken back to Nissan to figure out the details. Long story short, when I depress the clutch there is this slight clanking sound. Definitely is not pretty. I'm still able to engage all the gears just fine, but again something isn't right.

@Brian, we're thinking it's the throwout bearing in the CSC. I'll find out monday. Either way it is what it is. I should have just gone with an Exedy clutch to be honest. It's weird though since Exedy makes SouthBend the disks and Southbend puts their material on it. I doubt it's the clutch though.
