That's false. You will have to remove transmission for the install.

ZSpeed offers both an internal (inside the bell housing) heavy duty slave cylinder option and an external option with the slave cylinder mounted to the outside of the transmission housing. From my personal experience with the Z1 kit (having to adjust the slave as well as deal with poor quality parts), I would recommend either ZSpeed option over the Z1 kit. I have since purchased the ZSpeed CMAK.

Congrats on your Z purchase and enjoy the drive!
You also might consider replacing the clutch pedal with the RJM Performance pedal.
Many owners do not like the way the OEM pedal "pops back" when released, the RJM version makes for a very smooth, easily controlled release.
This pedal is a remarkable upgrade from the OEM pedal and is a fairly easy DIY, just be sure to follow the detailed instructions from Ryan (the owner).

Thank you so much for this post I read through the thread and now I immediately want to buy the whole clutch kit. I need to save up for a bit though lol I need to not go broke.

I do really like what I see though and that Ryan guy really knows his product I saw how he was talking to everyone who ordered that was great.

As for the clutch pedal though it seems like it would solve alot of the issues I feel with the current clutch. I feel like I would love driving it so much more.

I like getting back into my frontier because the clutch is just so easy to engage compared to the z if I was able to engage the clutch like I can with my truck with the power of the Z behind it. Ohh Lord help me from getting a speeding ticket.
