Gonna hit up a neighborhood tonight where i can find a lot of steep hills :]
I know I'm gonna burn a lot of clutch tonight but might as well take advantage of that life-time power train warranty from the dealer! Good luck to you as well as to me!

Not sure if I'm reading your post wrong. But they will not replace your clutch under warranty due to your driving abilities.

Be careful, my dealer's lifetime powertrain warranty doesn't include clutch replacement. I do have a nissan warranty though that will replace clutch.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a note on that and find out what I'm dealing with!
