Default Post Mileage Before Your Clutch Gave Out From Normal Driving

I currently have about 300 miles on my 2012 manual with the sport package and I started noticing the fishy smell coming from the clutch, on various occassions. The clutch doesn't seem to slip at all, but you shouldn't be getting this clutch smell about a 100 miles or so.

Service manager says the smell is the catalytic converters breaking in, sounds like BS.

I called the nissan service department and they said that if the clutch fails at all, neither the clutch , pressure plate, flywheel or throughout bearing will be covered, under the factory waranty unless it can be proven that some defect caused the clutch to fail. Good news is that if the clutch does fail they only charge $500 for the labor to replace the parts.

It would be interesting for members to post the mileage at which their stock clutches failed and cost of replacing the units, and if their repairs were covered under the factory waranty.

Also if you went with stock or aftermarket hi performance replacement parts.
