But if your car is still low mileage and/or you've racked mostly highway mileage (where your clutch isnt that stressed out) then you can just change the bearing.
The casa will charge high for labor and stuff. You may want to canvass around at other shops then just use original parts (from the CASA or a Nissan auto supply).
