The solid disc is going in and I'll just replace the disc with a sprung disc when I have more time. We'll see how that works out... I don't plan on missing my trip, giving up all my deposits, and very likely parking the car for the entire summer waiting on a ********************ing clutch disc to show up.

Here's the deal directly from Sachs…..

they have this clutch kit in a sprung version it is kit# K70290-01 - it showed up WITH SPRINGS but spindle was wrong size, flywheel was wrong bolt pattern, Throw Out Bearing was HUGE! Definitely not a fit. I am talking to their "product specialists" tomorrow in the AM about it. Would be good to have several members remind them they are or will be losing money IF they do not get it right! I'm sure they will. They have at least matched the picture! now if we can only get the parts that fit.

The Sachs toll free number is: 800-321-0784 and tell them the make and model, or give them this number and ask to speak to a specialist.

See Ya!

They are sending: TYP GMFZ 225 (printed on clutch housing)
The OLD Type is: TYP MF228 / MF240

They start at 8:00 AM CST, so the more that call in about this - the better! Especially if you want a 4 Spring Clutch….in the RIGHT SIZE! Looks good in the picture though - at least we're making progress!

Thanks!

No Joy! Sachs DOES NOT offer a sprung clutch!

The reseller got the "right" part number but Sachs put the wrong clutch in the box. The pictures are NOT what Sachs ACTUALLY produces.

Sachs only offers an unsprung clutch as a replacement, except in their sport division (twice the price).

Just thought I would set the record straight.

Sorry for the false alarm!
