I have a 2006 350z, and I'm being quoted $1k for a local shop to replace my clutch. He says this does not include flywheel - he will have to check it's condition to see if I need to replace that. I realize the flywheel will be much pricier due to it being dual mass, but does $1k for clutch + labor make sense? I thought the OEM clutch was pricier than that? I just want to make sure he's doing the OEM and not an aftermarket clutch.

 

I paid $600 labor to have it done at a local shop here in dallas

 

Aftermarket clutch might be better. Check out ZSpeed, Z1, etc for options.

 

The OE flywheel is dual mass and can't be machined. Generally its not a good idea to slap a new clutch disk on a flywheel that hasn't been machined, can cause the clutch not to seat properly resulting in slip. You're best off buying a new flywheel, which is pricier than hell, thats why I went with an aftermarket kit when I did mine, 700$ for the full JWT kit, and is perfectly daily-able, But a lighweight single mass flywheel isn't for everyone.

 

Clutch kit is about $300, so it sounds about right. The FW is the only expensive part of the ordeal. Labor is cake on these cars, about 5 hours. Not bad at all.
