Clutch Kit purchase?

[Mihnea Cotet]

Just my 0.02 on clutches as I'm now working in the clutch business, it's
true that LUK does a lot of repackaging but they also sell lots of rebuilt
clutches... and personally, I would never buy a rebuilt clutch from LUK,
even though the price is very interesting...

HTH,
