One thing I hate about my Z

KarlKFI · 08-31-2019, 03:07 PM

FWIW, the Exedy clutch that comes on the 2018+ (Not sure if just nismos) is vastly superior to the previously stock clutch. It feels noticeably softer and more forgiving, with wider engagement range and lower rebound rate so your leg doesn’t get as tired. It was basically the reason I bought a 2018 and waited for it to be shipped from Japan instead of a discounted 2016/2017.

I remember test driving older clutches and it made the 1st to 2nd shift really hard to get right comparatively.

I just got mine and have only driven it to & from the dealer. The clutch was a little weird the first time I drove it. It seems to have a longer engagement travel distance. After a couple of 1-2 shifts, all is well. The clutch is very light.

Okay is it difficult to remove the clutch spring ? If not too hard I might give it a try...

Nah. It's pretty easy. There's a thread on it somewhere.
