Default Clutch slipping

I'm pretty sure my clutch just started slipping yesterday, any ideas how long I'll have before it goes out... assuming normal day to day driving? What's a good replacement clutch/flywheel combo... if it's going to be out i might as well do a lightened flywheel.... car is stock.

Your guess is as good as anyones here, depends on how you drive.
If you do put in a flywheel/clutch combo thats aftermarket look up the
threads here because you may run into other issues you didnt plan on, such
as clutch chatter which is DAMN irritating! ;D

Do most lightened flywheels mate up fine with a stock replacement clutch?

Yes they do! Are you having the dealer put it another stock clutch?

Depends.... i bought a warranty with the car so I need to see if clutch is covered under this warranty..... probably not nissan dealership no... but the dealership i bought the car from had their own 3 month warranty for a small fee which I picked up (used car...)

no way to know how long it will last - could be several months, could be several days

Ask the dealer if they will cover the clutch - most won't

Yea it's not covered.... want to help me out with a price on a clutchmaster/flywheel combo? Right now the car is stock so I'm assuming the fx100 is fine, however think I might go with the fx200 just for some extra grip for later on when it's needed....

The 200 is a good clutch. Have a buddy who used it in his turbo 350 for a year of having the living crap beat out of it. The ACT street disc w/ streetlite is a good stock-moderate mods clutch too.
