Phizinza Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Looking at new clutches. EBay has no name brands, that are 2/3 the price of Exedy. So some cheap versions of things can be quite good these days, what's the verdict on these 'Premium' clutch kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I have used the Bahnhof brand kits 3 times now with good initial results. Longevity remains to be seen. So far 10,000 miles and counting on my 2000 outback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subarule Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I always go to Rockauto.com first, see what they have. I also research and see what the OEM part was. I have a preference for OEM or as close to as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I have had decent luck with Perault parts for clutches and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks Subarule, I was unaware that RockAuto would ship to Austraila! Just ordered the clutch from them at $100 cheaper than I can buy it in Australia. Did some research and ended up going with LUK brand instead of Exedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-tombba- Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks Subarule, I was unaware that RockAuto would ship to Austraila! Just ordered the clutch from them at $100 cheaper than I can buy it in Australia. Did some research and ended up going with LUK brand instead of Exedy. I have had couple of those LUK clutch sets and those seem to be excellent in my opinion. One of them was installed years ago to my old leone and it holded up nicely for couple years even in hard situations like pulling a big trailer and hitching some cars from the ditches they have ended up. No problems with the LUK at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks Subarule, I was unaware that RockAuto would ship to Austraila!

I'm always happy if I have saved someone some money. My advice to everyone needing a car part is to go to Rockauto first and at least get a baseline price in order to comparison shop.
