clutch kit recommendation

[MevZee]

hi guys,

my release bearing has stared to get noisy so i am going to just put a whole new clutch kit in! so i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on kits that you have used and are okay to drive as a daily (not too heavy)

 

 

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

 

I’ve found the release bearings to be noisy on the Z’s so if that’s the only reason you’re changing I’d maybe leave it.

If you do change it though, recommendations, as above or the Xtreme kit is very good. Avoid Competition Clutch (CC) fitted one to my old DE very poor clutch for feel and bite!

Hi Matt,

 

The most popular kits we sell and hugely popular in USA are the JWT kits, see here:

Also, while you're doing the clutch and if you haven't had it replaced before, worth doing the slave cylinder, depending on your car year, you can find these here:

Mine is a daily and I have this: NISSAN 350Z Z33 DE XTREME CLUTCH SINGLE CUSHIONED INC SMF. You do get some chatter as it's a SMF though.

I have the HR version of the Extreme kit, very good upgrade to stock although clutch is much firmer so your left leg gets a good workout in traffic. many say about the noise but if you have an aftermarket exhaust like me its not noticeable over that anyway.
