So recently I had my engine blow out on me (doesn’t matter why) but I was wondering what I should have replaced since the engine is being taken out anyway so I can save out on some labor for things I’m going to have to do later on anyway.

Issues I’ve had in the past:
After hard acceleration/high rpm shifting sometimes the clutch gets really spongy.

ive had both the rotors and brake pads changed recently as well as all 4 tires replaced and balanced however the car slightly turns to one side once in a while(more often when I’m on the brakes) and if I brake hard enough the car skids a little.

Theres a low clunking sound when driving slow (sounds like it’s coming from the passenger rear side , assuming it might be my suspension) typically when I shift into second gear slowly but you really have to listen for it .

Trouble shifting into second gear (it doesnt let me shift in) I haven’t driven it since winter so that might’ve just been the cold but I’m not sure .

Vehicle details:
2009 Infiniti g37s RWD 6mt 70k miles 3.7l v6

 

Replace engine with a VQ35de

 

Engines already being replaced right now, just looking to fix the other problems while it’s in the shop

 

Change out the drivetrain components since the motor is out. Clutch, flywheel, master cylinder, upgrade (if you haven't already) the factory CSC. Z1 and ZSpeed both have good options, all SS lines. I have the CMAK from ZSpeed. You can service it outside the transmission so no more dropping the trans to replace the ****ty OEM clutch slave cylinder. Check out RJM Performance too.
