Re-Manufactured Clutch???
« on: 23 April 2007, 00:48 »
I have just got my self a re-manufactured clutch off ebay.... but how exactly do you re-manufacture a clutch??? is there such a thing?  This chap sells them for lots of diffrent cars, i managed to win it for 99p with the full kit so i'm not complaining.

They keep the metalwork and renew the bearing pads. Although the thrust bearing should be new?
Personally I wouldnt even dream of putting it in a car of mine!

Good luck with it mate!

Well when your clutch is about to go and you don't have a penny to spare a clutch for 99p is a life saver.  I know its not ideal but it will do me for now... hopefully

Well don't forget my car is only a 1.4 and i really cant afford to spend that sort of money on something that will probably blow up in a few months anyway, 99p for a clutch is fantastic i dont drive it hard... to much :smiley:
