Message morning. I was at a light went to put it in 1st and heard a bang. Dont know if it popped out of gear or what. Next thing I know I try to put it back in 1st and it wont find it or any other gear. Then I smell burning clutch, really, really strong. So, I get it towed and find out the clutch is in pieces ( basically shattered).
Now, I actually got to talk to Jim Wolf myself before I knew it was the clutch and he thought it might be the throw out bearing. But it is not. So, I had the guy at Nissan, where it is at call him to tell him the condition of the clutch, and Jim told he to tell me to take pictures of the clutch before he can even think about a warrenty.

NOw, we all know a clutch just doesnt take a shit like that all of a sudden, there was never any slippage, it always grabbed and worked great. All of a sudden BAM! it's Fried. Many of you know me and know I dont beat on my car, I dont do clutch dumps or abuse the clutch/car in any way.
I think it is a manufacturer defect. I hope JWT lives up to its reputable name and admits manufacturer defect. I drive the car 30 Miles a day on a highway to and from work, and there is only about 15k on this clutch. No reason this whould have happened. I will let you all know what happens.
