My 2006 Nissan Xterra clutch went out at 42000 miles on a busy highway. I gad noticed a little slippage and was planning on taking it in went it went out. After towing to dealer I was told that it would cost $2400 to fix. The pressure pads were shredded and caused pressure plate and fly wheel to have to be replaced also. The pressure plate and fly wheel should have been under warranty. I was told were and tear so no help. This clutch is undersize for engine.
