Thanks for the prompt response from both of you. I've heard great things about both companies. Is the adjustable clutch pedal from RJM necessary or just a nice to have? I don't track/race my car - just DD and the occasional spirited driving on highways. I'll definitely need the complete clutch flywheel system as I don't want just a quick fix. Fortunately money isn't tight and I prefer doing things right the first time, but I was just really hoping to have Nissan cover this. My birthday is tomorrow too - THANKS, NISSAN!

BTW how much is it to have this done in a shop - on average?

Both are neccesary in my opinion. I just got the pedal installed last week. Had the zspeed cmak and clutch for about a year? Wish I did both sooner. I'm a casual street driver. The stock pedal is just too finicky for me.

3:20 mark for a better explanation. But I can assure you, shifts, especially 1st to 2nd are wayyy smoother with this pedal. And the clutch feel is much better.

2 hours for a good mechanic to install the pedal. And some time afterwards for you to try the pedal and then make adjustments. So maybe 150 to install? I paid $550 in nyc for the complete cmak and clutch install.
