Advice Needed: The whole neighborhood can hear me : Nismo Clutch
I had the JUN flywheel & nismo clutch installed today at 2visions.
Jeff was great and I highly recommend him to all of you in norcal.
Took me 5 mins to get used to the super low grabbing point of the clutch.
However I have some issues with shifting. The car would not go into 5th when i push it to the far right and up. I have to push it to the far right, hit a notch then push it abit left. it seems like something is blocking the right side.
I find this very disturbing as having to push the shifter towards 3rd to let it slip into 5 is a misshift waiting to happen. A couple of times i tried to revmatch from 6-5 i ended up hitting the blockage and grinding the clutch. This takes a huge toll in my confidence of shifting from 6-5. I always fear a misshift.
Jeff thinks its normal for the nismo clutch. He's very knowledgeable but somehow I don't think it is. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me more about this.
Also the clutch chatter extremely loud, louder than my exhaust at WOT
Does the clutch affect chatter or is the flywheel the only determining factor? All the reviews for the JUN flywheel says that its extremely quiet, one of them was paired with the ACT another was paired with clutchmasters fx300.
starting in 1st, clutch chatters but not too loud
2nd, chatters at 2-2.1k rpm(loud)
3rd, 2k rpm( Super loud)
4th, 2k rpm (loud)
5th, 2k rpm cruising just a tiiiiny bit of accel( extremely loud ! can be heard in a 1/4 mile radius maybe )
Appreciate all the advice and help I can get.
and thanks to Jeff for the wonderful install.

I'm not a car expert and i think you should post this issue in the "tech area" under Engine, Drivetrain, Forced Induction section. You would most likely get more responses from people that have worked in this field.

when i got my jwt clutch/flywheel installed i noticed the same thing regarding 5th being hard to shift into. I got used to it really quikly and don't even notice it anymore. put some miles on it and then see what you think.

13 mpg? what other mods do you have because I don't even think mine is that low in the city. Take a look at my mod list in my signature...
