Avoid techniclutch on fleabay!
« on: 05 June 2013, 13:41 »
Probably the wrong section but if you are looking at buying an uprated clutch then dont use techniclutch on ebay.
I brought a vr6 clutch and g60 flywheel kit...(sachs one) anyway when it came (a month later) the release bearing was f**ked, clips all snapped of and the plastic brittle as fook.
Anyway i rang them on the monday and explained the clutch was being fitted saturday, i need a replacement part.
They said one is being sent out should be with me wednesday latest, anyway came to saturday and it wasnt here.
So after cancelling on my mate iv rung them, theyve said oh it should of been hete yesterday (friday) we will send another out.. anyway its now wednesday and my replacement has come..
Not a sachs release bearing but some cheap knock of thing that looks like it costs about 50p.
Also my mate has seen the clutch and says it doesnt look sachs quality..
Soooo DONT buy from them on ebay, spend the extra money..
Sorry of this is the wrong section but just a word of warning  :smiley:
