check out your wheel bearings as it sounds like they could be an underrated or faulty item in few vehicles.
That is a very good advice indeed. The xtrail bearings are underrated for sure and require periodic check or a more serious and costly problem could develop which has been explained HERE.

It might be worth copying Andrew's last post on the previous page (or the relevant parts of it) and Julie's response to the thread you linked to above, Jalal.
The warning and Nissan's recommendation about the bearings is there already Rich, see THIS post.
Please post any subsequent information about the bearings in that thread to keep this one on topic.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
Hey guys
I'm looking at clutch/clutch and flywheel upgrades and ive contacted a few places regarding this, the only manufacturer who does a heavy duty package (lots of places do stock replacements, but that wont do the trick, especially cos I'm already spinning out more power than stock, + ther is more to come!) is Australian Clutch (xtreme clutches) and they offer a heavy duty clutch kit including a solid mass fly wheel for $1350
the clutch has a 850kg clamping force and 25% stronger than stock, and the flywheel raplces our dual mass (crappy) one with a solid mass.
the heavy duty package can be found HERE
They also offer the stock package (regular strength clutch with solid mass flywheel) for $1235
this is the cheapest option ive seen. Any other package has to come from the US and is for the sentra. shipping and the crappy aussie dollar will push the price for a spec/stillen/JWT over $1600 easily.
im well prepared to pay over $1000 dollars beacuse this is important to get right.
i dont want sh!tty quality products spinning off my engine...
does this sound alright and what are some of you opinions on aftermarket flywheels/clutches?

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
The menu system on that site didn't work for me so i couldn't see the products and kits. However, the idea of a conventional solid flywheel is appealing and there's nothing really wrong with that. I'd be worried about going too light, you will stall too easily at traffic lights etc. The real reason for the dual mass flywheel is to cut down on vibration, so with a normal flywheel you could expect a little more vibration especially at low engine speeds.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
Shawn,
The menu system is working, except the mouse over effect of the website is not working correctly so the mouse pointer doesn't change when you go over the menu items, but if you click on NISSAN while having the mouse over it, it opens up the sub-menu.

Re: Clutch issues and potential upgrades
The mouse-over effect works perfectly in FireFox but menus wont open, menus open but no mouse-over in MS IE !
