I'm needing to replace my clutch and I'm finding on rockauto.com that there is alot of different brands. They start from 107 bucks all the way to 500. I don't want junk but don't want to break the bank. Any thoughts?

I just installed the Rhino Pac clutch off rock auto. As I recall it was a pretty happy medium in cost. Also they had a picture of it and the disc just looked sturdier than some of the others. It came with pilot, t.o.b., p.p., and a decent alignment tool. I only got some 1600 miles on it though. It was real grabby and not forgiving at first, but it seems to have seated nicely. Not one chatter or slip but I have babied it. Took about 5 days to get here.

I have also installed the rhino pac clutch hydraulics on both of my vehicles, but neither have seen more than a few thousand miles yet so their ultimate durability remains to be seen.

 

I will admit it feels very light and smooth. If it wasn't for the spring on the pedal, I might wonder if my foot was doing anything. This may be due to driving an old pickup with a cable clutch for 4 months though.

I just picked up an OEM clutch for about $100 IIRC, worked fine for the 25k miles I drove that truck.

 

Call Alkorahil (Rob Lacy, info in the Classified/Services section) to get a price on a factory unit.

Exedy, like stated above, is who makes Nissan's replacement clutches. Any factory replacement from a dealer would be an Exedy clutch, just re-labeled to say Nissan. I honestly don't see the point in even considering a dealer of any sort when you can get the same thing for $150 or so with shipping. I priced the same parts from my Exedy clutch with Rob and it was almost $400. :blink:

I just installed this clutch in my Pathfinder, works great.
