gingerslippers Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi guys, Ive tried my best to search the forums but the info im finding relates to years past. I noticed a little time ago that the clutch was playing up. Its now at the stage where if I am in second, change to forth and punch it, the engine revs and takes a couple of seconds to level itself. It seems very much like the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. Im looking at changing the car soon so really dont want to be forking out huge amounts to get it replaced. Ive contacted a few people based on old threads and am either getting quotes far exceeding that reported here years ago or a reluctance to fit the likes of Exedy kit. Ive contacted the local Nissan dealers but as per usual, no response to emails and people don't call you back - useless. Any advice on where would help? Happy to travel an hour/ maybe 2 for the right garage! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It needs a clutch and flywheel. The Exedy kit and LUK flywheel will be fine for most applications, but the labour will always be quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerslippers Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks - title says Basingstoke. Seen a few items on the likes of ebay, so presume I'm looking for clutch & flywheel kit then? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerslippers Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks - have contacted all the guys so hope to have all the quotes in soon. One thing I wonder - what is the difference between a clutch and a clutch kit?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The kit would have ancillary bearings to I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The kit would usually contain the release bearing too. You definitely want to replace the bearing with the clutch. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Don't bother with a flywheel if you looking to sell shortly after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerslippers Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks all. As you can see, not up to speed on clutch options so appreciate the help. I think I'm just going to settle on the clutch kit. Exedy seem to be the cheapest although there are some listed cheaper as fast road/ Kevlar/ stage 1/ competition? I presume these are specific types for set purposes rather than everyday driving? Thanks again for all your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
