Well my clutch is slipping again I burnt it up the other night being stupid
This is my second clutch its a JWT and Flywheel combo. I think I have finally learned my lesson down shifting constantly and popping the clutch into first is just idiotic and expensive. So heres the thing I'm going to replace it in a month or so and I'm curious:

1. The JWT fly wheel has a friction plate (its $80) should I replace it?
PART NUMBER: L3503-FPLAT
DESCRIPTION:
FRICTION PLATE KIT FOR JWT VQ35 FLYWHEELS. This kit replaces the wearing surface of your JWT flywheel.

2. Should I install SS clutch lines when I get this done?

3.I assume I should replace the throwout bearing and the pilot bushing if so should i use the nismo version which has bearings?
Item# 32202-09500
Product Description
This Nismo bearing is a roller bearing designed to replace the solid brass pilot bushing that the transmission input shaft turns on. By replacing the solid brass bushing with the roller bearing it will allow the transmission and crank to turn easier with less resistance. Add one to your clutch or flywheel purchase for a cheap upgrade.

4. I know im a idiot, just wait till i get my FI

5. Has anyone dealt with /www.importpartspro.com they have some of the cheapest prices $400 for the JWT HD clutch and they have the Nismo Bearing

 

Bump

 

I have a brand new in the box JWT clutch and flywheel for sale... $750 shipped... pm me

 

Since youre gonna have to take it off to repair it anyway with the JWT kit, maybe the Nismo idea isn't bad, and SS lines aren't very expensive anymore so that would be good too.

 

Anyone else have a suggestion?

 

i used importspartspro last week to get my JWT, there great.. awesome service and best price around. Talk to Kyle, good guy to deal with.

 

So i guess I should get a friction plate as well.. considering its only been 25k miles sense the install?

 

Since you have fried it again I would replace the disc, friction surface, and bearings, lines would be an extra but you are in there anyhow.

By the way, if you can manage to destroy a strong clutch like a JWT with N/A, how do you think you are ever going to keep an F/I set up together for any reasonable length of time. Clutch or motor.

 

I used to drag race a lot and had trouble with pilot bushings, but the problem isn't related to performance. The transmission input shaft only spins inside the pilot bushing with you rev the engine with the clutch pushed in (disengaged). I used to turn the motor pretty hard on the starting line. That's what eats bronze pilot bushings and wears them out.

Adding a ball bearing pilot bushing isn't going to give you any horsepower. When a car is running in gear, the crank and transmission input shaft spin at the same speed (RPM).

 

Kyle is great to deal with. I purchased my JWT combo from him and he threw in the SS line.. He will take care of you for sure, you will not be disapointed(sp?)

 

Ok so I'm ordering the parts tommorow any other opinoins on the Nismo bearing's anyone use them yet?

 

Kyle is awsum I got tracking numbers after 5:00 today for all the parts and I ordered them at 4:40pm A+++ importparts

 

im almost on the same boat here. have an '06 with 25k miles and need a new clutch/flywheel. I guess I should replacement those and the ss lines rite? does anybody have a contact info for kyle. thanks!

I would get the SS lines way better than Rubber heating up and flexing IMO
