Default Clutch is dead... need some info.

Alright basically the title says it, my clutch disagreed with my driving methods and decided to give up. Now I can either go aftermarket, or buy another nissan clutch. The questions I need answered are:

What is the price of the a new stock clutch?

and

Do aftermarket clutches tend to wear faster or slower than the stock clutch?

Thanks in advance for any help.

OEM Clutch Parts:

Clutch Cover: $117.95
Clutch Disc: $63.95


Aftermarket clutch:

JWT: $412


Both can be found here along with many others:

An aftermarket clutch or OEM clutch will wear out if your driving habits are overly slipping the clutch... OEM may be more forgiving because of the less clamping force...

While you are replacing it, it is worth it to replace the flywheel at the same time...

Most go JWT here... It is an Exedy Clutch... its a great clutch... not many complaints at all...

The ACT Clutches are nice as well.. but more $

JWT Clutch / JWT Flywheel is the cheapest and best option for the $

I also know that performance nissan will price match. shop around for the best price. I paid $700.00 for my JWT Flywheel/clutch combo.

Just trying to save you a little money.
