FYI the short throw was my birthday present

Wish i had a boy that'd do it for $400 lol i dont trust anyone anymore. I had a "friend of a friend" detail my paint for me to get swirls out and he destroyed my paint. Looks like its covered in tooth paste because he buffed it without cleaning it(my guess anyway). Denied everything and i was beat. Now this lol my life.

The only spring i can think of are the springs on the actual friction plate. Or the diaphragm "spring". I told whoever i talked to in Nissan customer service that he's saying a spring broke on the clutch but i know enough to know thats bs. Still waiting for this call... should be an interesting conversation.

The springs on the friction plate did come to my mind. I don't know what it would take to break one of those.

Look up the group VQ Philly on Facebook and tell them Josh Larson sent you. Once in, message Joey Mac and ask him if he can do your clutch. He should quote you around $400 for it. You'd need to get to his location (West Chester, PA), but he did an awesome job for me.

Does he have a shop? No offense to either of you but after getting screwed with my paint job, it'd be hard to trust someone to do my clutch or anything without them having insurance. Not that it matters apparently since im getting screwed by a dealership but still haha ill join in either way though

Update for anyone who'd read this.. brought my 370 to another mechanic and he said they never even checked the clutch and that it was working perfectly. Just the csc like i said. He told me he wouldnt charge extra labor if i wanted to upgrade clutch and flywheel since its already open so i did. Dealership dodged me for a few weeks when i called them about the tech that lied about my clutch having a "broken spring". I got fed up and made a REALLY bad review explaining what happened to me and how bad they were about it. They called me an hour later and had a refund ready for me the next day... guess now they have time for me. BUT told me i had to take the review down to get my refund. So thats where im at now lol thanks again for your replies back when i posted this.

Take the review down, cash the check, repost the review. They want to be shady, then **** them.
