Is the JWT clutch heavier or lighter than the '04's stock clutch?
 
For those that have the JWT clutch can you tell me the difference? I'm thinking about upgrading but I definitely do not want something heavier than my already heavy (IMO) '04 clutch. Thanks.

Edit: I'm talking about the force required to push down the clutch pedal, not the weight of the actual clutch/flywheel (I know it's lighter).

ALOT lighter.

I assume your talking weight difference but how about the required force to depress the clutch pedal for shifting?

You're correct, I'm actually talking about the force required to depress the clutch pedal. Let me re-edit my post to clarify that.

That sucks I was actually hoping it was lighter. :(

I actually wish it was heavier, the light one feel like your driving a toy, if I let my girlfriend drive the g I'm sure she would complain but shes a girl, man up. ever drive an evo or m3?

In life, you adapt to that you cant control.....Or you Whine. Two Choices

THE FORCE REQUIRED TO PUSH THE CLUTCH DOWN IS LIGHTER.

Jesus christ . . . . . why would you think I meant otherwise.

Fabricate a Heavy spring to give the illusion and peace of mind needed

You have a G though, and your clutch is lighter. My brother has an 04 g35c and he was complaining about how heavy my Z's clutch was. :o

I just went with the jwt clutch and flywheel, the clutch feels a lot easier and I do a LOT of stop and go traffic.

Trackster Jul 30, 2008 06:18 PM

I am in the same boat...i want a lighter clutch in my 04. If I replace with an newer model Z will that change the hydraulic pressure needed?

Just go with the JWT, you will be very happy with it....I have yet to install one that the owner didn't like

Trackster Jul 30, 2008 07:11 PM

Ok so this will feel similar to an 05 clutch? Also do you suggest the flywheel..like i said alot of stop and go traffic as i am driving to sales meetings all day..

R-TuneZ Jul 30, 2008 07:21 PM

not to be a dick, but is the stock Z clutch REALLY that heavy...?

I took for granted you were inquiring about the complete unit---The 14 LB JWT FW is easy to drive in all traffic.....It is almost half the weight of the OEM FW which is 28 LBs

Trackster Jul 30, 2008 08:26 PM

Yes it is heavy to me...i drive my bro's 06 and find it better...as i am due for a new one why not try to solve the problem..

Frequency 3.5.0 Jul 30, 2008 11:11 PM

so i see no ACT clutch kit and fw was mentioned in this thread... does anyone have experience with it? how is it compare to stock? is it easier to drive in shifting and engagement-wise.
