I know I get the Sacks someday but some shops up here say that they have had great luck with the LUK gold 13".I have read some posts here that people seem 50/50 with this clutch? I had heard that a overseas company was selling a knockoff clutch with there name on it too,but it was junk?

Starner, if you pull sensibly (meaning don't ride the clutch like a real pulling truck, just pull in a gear you can start in without a lot of slip) the Sachs will do fine for you for less money than the OFE. If you want to play around doing 3rd gear launches on the street, spend the extra money for the OFE. The Sachs doesn't like that, when it gets hot it just slips. South Bend can hook you up with either clutch, their price on the Sachs is average AFAIK.

I got my new sachs off ebay for just over 400 shipped.... I haven't checked to see if the vendor is still selling them though. That's by FAR the best bang for your buck and it'll hold as long as you don't slip it with pods and an Hx-35. Sachs likes to be fully engaged before you stop the go pedal with boost.
