This is a PSA, cross-post from a well respected Z mechanic. Just in case any of you guys were planning on using “Key Value” clutches; Nissan OEM parts are “Made in JAPAN” (and cost 3 times as much) these are “Made in USA” > Recently worked on 2 local TwinTurbo cars that had Nissan “key value” clutches installed on them. Both clutches failed in the exact same way and caused the trans to not be able to disengage. > > Nissan “key value” parts are low price, alternate supplier parts that they resell at dealerships and should not be confused w. real Nissan OEM parts. > > Both cars, street driven, not abused w. less then 20k miles on them since install. > > ![http://www.yugobernie.com/images/Cars/Chris_Cooper/DSC06052.JPG](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/2/c252e7c9f4d3e953fb08bc7db64002be92acaa8e.jpeg) ---
