Title: Sach clutch
Post by: cupra_buzz on May 29, 2012, 09:12:41 pm: Anyone know why this is cheap? As I would really love to buy it because it would save me some right money.

Thank you in advance,
Ben

At that price I'd snap it up if the part numbers match the upgraded clutch.

Could be wrong but doesn't seem to say sachs performance anywhere. Depends if that was the reason why you wanted to go for it, worth checking part number etc to make sure you are getting what you think. Normally you would pay a good £900 for the flywheel, performance clutch and slave.
