[s-cars] RE: Sachs / SPEC / etc.

[Krasusky Paul (WQQ2PXK)]

Paul Park misunderstood me:

<<<I just don't want to have to replace the clutch again. So experiences 
with Sachs? Spec? Centerforce? What made me decide to reconsider Sachs, 
was when Paul K. said that Spec was just using a Sachs clutch, and 
selling it under their name.

Thanks guys,
Paul>>>




Paul, etc.:

Well, I sort of said that, sorry if I wasn't clear.  

What SPEC did was erroneously send me a disc that did not fit, one that had
the name scratched off of it (literally), that when I returned it to them,
THEY identified it as a Sachs unit and said they had ZERO idea how it
happened.  I later learn that Bill Baloney had this very same thing happen
to him, and "Bob DG" also had a similar experience but not exactly the same.
Again, them Hillbilly Goatfukkers (just for you, Saltino, heh, now I know
you still read this junk!) are pulling some funny crap down there
deepindahearta Alabama.

SPEC actually makes their own clutch, one that I can now speak more highly
about since it finally broke in and I finally got my tranny fluid topped off
right.  Thing grabs VERY nicely, has a perfect pedal weight, and only has
the slightest hint of chatter upon engaging 1st / reverse.  I'd say go for
it, but since their f'n crap-arse customer service debacle, I've vowed to F
them altogether (FWIW, NEA sent me a $200 check / offered future service to
me since they subbed the part through SPEC, kudos to them and their
continued good customer service!).

The good thing about your Pizzotron Industries LWFW is that it never
actually was used in his car.  If it were, once installed in yours, your car
would then be subject to perpetually broken tail light lenses, a tendency to
wail potholes, and have forever leaking power steering pumps, hoses, etc.
However, you're not out of the woods...  beware of spending any time around
alcohol and, er, 'portly' women now...  you've been warned.

So, YMMV, good luck making a decision.  Just wanted to try and clear that up
a bit.  Then make it more muddy...
