My current setup is slipping, with a clutch burning smell...so it has to go soon. I'm in the market for a whole new setup. My old setup was a JWT clutch and flywheel.

I am looking for a clutch and flywheel combo that's cheap as can be (even lightly used), works for a stock 2004 350z, and doesn't chatter like this JWT flywheel does.

What brands should I be looking at? Where can I find a good deal?

These looks like good deals, but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to clutch parts. Hopefully someone can give me insight so I don't waste my money. Any help is appreciated.

Found this on the forums...I'd obviously need to get a new Flywheel, but would this work for the clutch replacement?

Are you FI? If not, why don't just get OEM style?

I am not against getting OEM. Whatever's cheaper.

Find a used oem flywheel since the lightened JWT flywheel is what causes noise(vibration) then get a low grade ACT clutch for cheap. That would be the cheapest option. I think most users on here would give you an oem flyhwheel if you pay shipping. OEM quality ACT clutches are around 200ish or something.

also, you can re-use your JWT pressure plate. The ultimate cheapest route would be buy a new friction plate from JWT and then get a free OEM flywheel.

How many miles did you put on the kit? How did you drive?

The previous owner installed it, and I bought the car with 35,500 miles on it. So I'm not sure at what point he put the kit in. I myself put 20,000 miles on the car, most of those being road trips with cruise control on. I don't drive like an old person, but I don't track the car, either. So right now, 55,500 miles on the car.

Dam 55k and your already on your third clutch? I hope this car wasn't abused. I'm still running stock with 81k

What's your budget? Im sure I can get you in something MUCH better than the kits you mentioned.

Stock replacement and South Bend Flywheel if you want to rid the noise, Also put good fluid in it and it will be pretty quiet with the South Bend.
