Okay, so here's the latest in the unfolding drama of my clutch problems.

The dealer is refusing to replace my clutch under warranty and gave me a price for both NISMO and stock parts...NISMO is actually cheaper, but get this: They say the NISMO parts will VOID the warranty (what little there is) on the clutch (against say a blow seal)!

Comments?

 

?... The clutch isnt coverd by the warranty in the first place.. right?

 

the wear isn't, but the rest should be.

 

haha, that's what I told the advisor on the phone. He explained that it would void the warranty on the entire clutch system...so I guess if any of the hydraulic parts went out or a seal leaked that I'd be screwed (again).

I find that hard to believe since it's a Nissan part...

 

r tune (no warranty) vs. s tune (warranty)

tecnically its an Exedy part, relabled Nismo.

 

Ah, I see. Thanks for the help.

Here's the deal...I'm prepping to sell the Z (time to buy a house), so here's my choices:

1. Buy stock parts, dealer install, stays under warranty.
2. Buy NISMO parts, dealer install, only clutch loses warranty
3. Buy aftermarket parts, non-dealer install, save $$$, lose warranty.

What would YOU do?

 

3. your selling it soon anyway
