Sachs clutch kit any good?
« on: August 15, 2011, 01:49:49 pm »
It seems cheap enough at $200 on Autopartsway.ca.  Anyone got one?  Did it last, or is it a waste of cash?

In the third pic you can make out the sachs script on the other side. FWIW I've run sachs clutches on a few different vehicles and many miles but having that one blow up pissed me off.
