I bought a JWT combo after having my tranny replaced. Little did I know when the dealer installed the new upgraded tranny they replaced the clutch/flywheel setup with NISMO products. Didn't find out until I paid my shop to do the install a couple of months after Don't know if they do it for everyone or I just got lucky?!?!? Worth looking into. GL, I really enjoy my JWT combo.

Thats awesome!
1st time they replace my tranny a year ago, they replaced the clutch for me as well.
I dont know if its nismo or not.
The car didnt feel any faster, so I would say they just gave me OEM clutch.

Yea I thought it was pretty cool my self. They did put a stock clutch in though but I think it had a higher rating. Ended up selling it on the forums when removed. This is what they put in:

That is strange
Did you feel a difference between OEM and NISMO and Between Nismo and JWT

To be honest I didn't feel a huge difference between nismo and stock. Car ran a little smother and the acceleration was a bit quicker. Night and Day though between the Nismo and JWT, better grip, faster acceleration and the car just seemed to responded better. Only downside is the chatter at low RPM, not that bad though.

Ok so the dealer took my tranny off
Told me that my clutch is so bad its blue (w/e that means lol).

Luckily they let me order JWT clutch, its comin tomorrow overnight.
Damn if I only knew that the dealer only replaced the preassure plate last time and not the whole clutch as he said I would order the clutch right away.
