clutch brand recommendations?

[teamsmith]

I see several choices and price points on Rockauto. Anyone have any input? 

 

Valeo $75

M-Pact $92

LUK  $100

AMS $121

Sachs $127

AC Delco $166

 

Unless someone tells me otherwise, I'll be getting either the $100 LUK because it has a heart by it on RA.

I've been very happy with center force II

Luk is (was) the OEM supplier.

LUK or Sachs are my clutch of choice

I have 200k on a Luk gold clutch in my 98 XJ.

It wasn't babied either, I dragged a 1981 Volkwagen Westfalia Camper van from Knoxville Tennessee to CT.

Plus a Comanche from Virginia to CT.

Also 40k worth of 2nd gear starts because it wouldn't stay in first.

Saks would be my second choice. 40k on a YJ when I pulled the Tranny thinking I had a bad slave. Turned out to be a bad master.

The machine marks were still on the flywheel.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I've been wanting to ask the same question.  But these prices have to be for the disc alone, right?

That's for the whole shebang including slave, disc, alignment tool, and the plate. I actually went with the $75 Valeo because it was on wholesaler clearance, normally $166 on RockAuto and over $200 everywhere else. The LUK may be great as well but I figure I'm comparing a $166 clutch kit to a $100 kit, something might be better.

Another in for SACHS or LUK.  Have a SACHS on my 88 right now.  Used many in the past, and they have never failed on me due to quality issues.

I have a AC Delco in my truck. been in there since 2002 and never one problem. does great when I am pulling 12,000 pounds of hay on my trailer across the farm in the mud.
