Default jwt clutch and flywheel review

Well after a rediculous week long ordeal with Andy Moore Nissan i got my z back.

I got a new transmission installed as well as a jwt clutch and flywheel combo kit.

Flywheel:
The car revs much faster now and feels as if i have shed 100 punds off of the front or the car. It is a lot more responsive now and generaly feels a lot sportier.
Clutch:
This is my first aftermarket clutch so it is taking a bit to get used to. The clutch grabs so close to the floor it is completely different from stock. Since the trans is brand new i am going to brake it in a bit before really testing it out.

Regarding the JWT clutch, is it normal for it to be somewhat hard to get it into gear while the car is stopped? When the car is rolling it slides into gear ok, but it is somewhat notchier than usuall. I imagine that this is normal, but was wondering if t is normal for it to be somewhat hard to get into gear from a stop.

take it easy on the new clutch, flywheel and tranny... for at least 500mi.

you probably don't notice the chatter becuase it's under 2k only and you're most likely driving around above that range...

i live in chicago (downtown) with heavy traffic at times. i'm in first gear a lot crawling in traffic from light to light. it's the only reason i want a quiet setup.

even at a low rpm, it is still not loud at all, although i do have apexi n1 exhaust, and that does make its own far share of noise
