I'd agree, I always go with new clutch parts (brakes too).  I beleive
that the 10v clutch kit was new.  It was represented as such, and they
did not ask for a core back.  But anything is possible.

I would like to know if it was a Sachs clutch though.  Seemed ossible,
but only someone who is familiar with the sachs parts would be able to
tell...
