hey i was just reading your post

http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drive...voir-swap.html

My leg has been seriously damaged from this clutch kit and I am wondering what to do. I had it done at the nissan dealer since my used 03 had a bad tranny when i bought it from them. The clutch it stiff as **** and my gearhead friends agree with me (not always ie: your just being a pussy[usually mustang ***s]). Anyway, if their not following the steps that you list.... Any suggestions? Finding your post was a great find for me because I am about to build a case against that shop. If your steps were not followed exactly, would the clutch be stiff as hell?

Never buy a jwt clutch.... It will kill your leg

no offense dude and i can't say much for or against it but if you are blaming a clutch pedal for Screwing you up you have some rethinking to do there, i have a rebuilt left leg and 0 problems with the jwt clutch. you do more damages to your knee climbing a flight of stairs than pushing your clutch in a 50 times. you may have had preexisting muscle, cartilage, or tendon damage and the failure happened to coincide with your clutch change. Or if you are overweight/really tall, your joints can have considerably more stress put on them than someone who is 5.10 180lbs. Thats like a body builder suing his gym cuz his knee gave out in a squat.

Agreed. There can be many different factors that can irritate an existing or persistent problem. It's like slow said above, you probably did more damage walking up stairs but you wouldn't sue the establishment that housed the stairwell.

With that said, given your existing condition, it probably makes sense to remedy that with a lighter clutch or in your case, maybe the 7AT.
