Aftermarket clutch with stock Flywheel?
Well it's about time soon to be replacing my clutch and I have been reading alot about aftermarket clutch and flywheel combos chattering no matter what you go with. Well I am not really that concerned about performance increases and not looking to make my Z noisier. Would going with an aftermarket clutch and stock flywheel by perfectly fine?
I was thinking of just going with a JWT clutch.

An aftermarket clutch worth anything should work fine with a stock flywheel. But the better question is why are you replacing the clutch on a 2006 car with next to no mods?

If yours is an '06, what's you mileage? I have heard of clutch replacement on Z's at even 10k but have to assume that's abuse. It's a pretty weak clutch, IMHO.
Also watch out for dealer scamming on new vs. resurfaced OEM FW, they tried to sell me an $1100 FW I did not need. More profit in 100% markup, I guess.
I have the JWT clutch with 10k miles plus, I like it a lot. I also have their FW but the noise is minimal, just notice at idle w/window open, very small amount of chatter in neutral with clutch out. Otherwise, FW is great - changed the rev characteristics all for the better.
