Need Clutch Replacement? Help

[Julzillionaire]

Hi all,

After cleaning the AAC and replacing spark plugs and spray silicone my coil packs my motor seems to run good now. BUT I now notice that my clutch is slipping. This is my second clutch within 70,000ks. First clutch went shortly after I bought the car and I replaced it with a extreme heavy duty (pretty sure its a button). It shutters pretty much all the time when normal driving and its not much fun at all. I also got them to put in a lightened flywheel.

Should I take it to a clutch place and say, hey my clutch is slipping fix it?

just in case its something else they might fix it without replacing clutch or they might find its flywheel?

Or should I buy the parts like I did last time and tell them to install?

Should I go to a clutch specialist or a mechanics that deal with performance cars?

Also what clutch do I want? A heavy duty ORGANIC clutch? Please supply me with some links to good sites that you have bought from and parts still work etc. I'm VIC based.

Thanks for the help YALL!!

any mechanic with half a brain will be able to install a clutch for you even if they have never touched a skyline before. skyline clutches are a piece of piss to change compared to a lot of FWD cars. there is nothing special about skyline gearboxes that makes them any different to other cars (GTRs might be a little bit trickier, but the RWD ones are very simple).

either way, the sooner you get it fixed the better, because if it is slipping, the more you drive it the more damage you are doing to the flywheel and the more chance you have of needing to replace it too.

as for what type of clutch to put in, if you are using the car as a daily driver then i'd go a heavy organic (depending on your power output). do a search on (i think) jim berry clutches. plenty of people on here have used them with good results

If its shuddering, you might be up for a new flywheel. You've probably [or the person before you] put 'hot spots' on the flywheel, you can try machining them out but it really isn't worth the hassle. Better with a new one.

Think I might get an organic heavy duty and get a clutch specialist to install and machine flywheel.

The flywheel i had installed was a proper lightweight flywheel. not stock with holes in it
