Good review, Raul, thanks. You know I've gone down this path and I agree with everything you said... different mfgr, but same story... big improvement over stock in terms of feel... for really fast gear changes there is also a real benefit to the rapid accel/decel

Thanks Travis! How heavy is your clutch btw?

travisjb 05-20-2010 11:58 AM

I mean as in pedal feel.

travisjb 05-20-2010 12:58 PM

I got that... that's what what I meant... to me, the firmness / feel of the pedal with the JWT clutch is largely consistent with OEM... it sounds like yours turned out stiffer... you can take mine for a spin someday if we ever end up at the same track and judge for yourself

RCZ 05-20-2010 02:20 PM

That would be fun. Thanks for the info Travis. Yeah a little stiffer, but still perfectly daily drivable.

Awesome, you know something. I don't know if I got used to it or something, but it feels like it has settled in a bit and the pedal effort is perfect now. Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase and would recommend it. I would like to see how it behaves with another 150whp, I think it will be perfect.

Did you use the stock CSC with the bearing or the new all metal designed CSC?

RCZ 05-31-2010 09:21 PM

stock csc, unfortunately, I heard it fails even after the fix. Seals cant handle it eh... Man... I really hope I dont have to get back into the clutch...

I think you should be OK. Seals on the CSC only failed on high clamp rated pressure plate. The Southbend pressure plate isn't one of them but it is stronger than a stock one.

That being said ....... only time will tell. I'm going to wait for the metal CSC to be released just for the reason of the extra strength in the construction. From what I've seen in the pictures, it has great potential.

RCZ 06-01-2010 08:39 AM

As you said, time will tell. As of right now the clutch feels perfect and considering its aggressive, it is very smooth and the stiffness has eased up a lot. I'm curious to find a stock 370z to push the clutch on to see just how much of a difference there is now since I've probably forgotten what stock feels like already.

do you feel that the new clutch grabs more efficiently?
