How much do you guys think it will cost me to have my clutch swapped out if i provide clutch myself. In other words what labor cost am I looking at. I live in SoCal.

Bump... I got my JWT clutch and flywheel installed today with the stainless steel clutch line, it feels really good. The clutch chatter is amplified because of the flywheel being so light and since it isn't dual-mass, but I'm sure I'll be able to easily get use to it.

I paid $375 installed which was 5 hours of labor.

Do your research. Just about everyone that has an aftermarket clutch are using the JWT setup since they have the closest to stock feel.

So give us a short review? How do you like the clutch? how does it feel? Rev's quicker with the lightened flywheel?

Sorry guys, I don't mean to thread jack. I just had the clutch and flywheel installed last week. I like it a lot, but it isn't for the faint of heart. The reason why I say this is because the clutch chatter is a lot LOUDER then with the normal dual-mass flywheel. I do feel a lot more acceleration, but I haven't gotten on it much since I'm still within the 500 mile break-in. I can tell you that 2nd gear now feels like first, and 3rd gear feels like 2nd. If the audible clutch chatter doesn't bother you, it's a great install and you do feel the difference between a 26lb and a 15.5lb flywheel.

Aah, that's to bad about the chatter. I'm surprised no one has found a fix for the chatter yet. Are the 370Z's experiencing this chatter as well?
