Thumbs up Getting transmission replaced - Need flywheel / clutch advice

I tried searching, but no similar threads, so......

Should I get flywheel only, flywheel & clutch???
I'd prefer flywheel only for $$$ reasons.

Which one should I get, any links with prices? Who has the best prices??

Thanks!

You can get by with just the flywheel and keep the stock clutch without any problems. I like the JWT but June is another good option for daily driving. Try calling Performance Nissan for more suggestions.

I was scrolling down the post after the fact and saw the same thing. It's JUN, not JUNE. Worse, after I scrolled down and saw my post referring to a month rather than a manufacturer and I see you correcting me...let's just say I've had better days.

HFM, that is what overstudying for the BAR Exam will do to you.

Regarding original question, its perfectly fine to change the flywheel only. HOWEVER, might I suggest upgrading the clutch at the same time, since you'll be spending quite a bit of money to remove and replace the tranny. A quality clutch/pressure plate that wont brake the bank is the ClutchMaster Stage II for N/A, or Stage III if you are F/I. Almost the same pressure as stock, but around 100% more clamping capacity. I ordered the STAGE III for my TT car, and it has...if memory serves me correctly, 120% more clamping force.

I'm leaning toward the JWT. The dealership here has told me that they are going to warranty a clutch, too. I'm trying to decide if I should just keep the stock clutch with the flywheel, or spend the extra money on a clutch.

I've got no performance mods, so I don't need something that will handle insane HP. I'd say the stock would probably suit me fine and be slightly more streetable than aftermarket, but I can't make up my mind.

Tilton rally clutch and 8 lb. flywheel. Expensive but worth it. Barely streetable. Very hard to launch from a dead stop. Once you are rolling, it revs like a buzz saw. Incredible.
