Using this ACT clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is the right model (2007 - 2009 Nissan 350z, 2008 Nissan G35 Sport, 2009 - 2020 Nissan 370z, or 2008 - 2013 Infiniti G37). Install the 6 - pad race sprung disc, Xtreme pressure plate, alignment tool, and pilot bushing as per the standard installation procedures. When you drive, expect a moderate to heavy pedal effort and an aggressive engagement. This is normal for high - performance clutches. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the clutch's performance. If you notice any unusual vibrations, slipping, or changes in the pedal feel, it might be time for an inspection. Also, since this clutch is designed for high - horsepower street or race use, don't use it in low - performance, everyday driving conditions for long periods. That could cause unnecessary wear. And remember, because it can handle up to 695ft/lbs of torque, don't exceed this limit to ensure the clutch's long - term reliability.
