It's made by Schaeffler, not Lucas or exedy. Common eurocrapparts technique, supplying equivalents or rubbish. I was in my local garage when eurocarparts delivered an injection harness for an Astra. On opening the box it was an oil covered old used part.Daniel30 wrote: Ordered a clutch today from Europarts and will be the last time I deal with then, ordered an Exedy one and the one pictured arrived same day delivery, same code number but I think it's a lucas clutch, are these any good, tried to call for the last hour on there customer service number but no answer.

Was not aware at the time that it was poor quality, it worked fine for many years, have things changed for this make......?.
I know many items today once known as "good brands" are now made in China/India and are no longer the same quality, sad days.

I do not know whether they are good or bad. I just know that Jimny owners prefer Exedy

Also as I am new to Jimny's I would go with the groups recommendations (Exedy), the LUK I fitted was many years ago.

An hour and 17 minutes on the Internet chat help thing que, to be told I need to take it back to the local shop and they issued a refund code for me to show in store
The moral of this for me is no matter why I need for my jimny I will be contacting Martin first.
Now have an Exedy one coming from Martin even cheaper than Euro car parts Inc delivery

LUK clutches are a good quality brand at least of OEM quality. So nothing cheap china stuff about it.
I'm running a standard LUK clutch (for 1.3) in my 1.6 Jimny. Works flawlessly, also when we attended the weeklong WBVC in Croatia. Same for my buddy in his 1.6 Jimny, that has now seen the WBVC 2 years in a row, on the same clutch.
I'm guessing many Jimny owners wants Exedy clutches because it smells a bit of racecar. But it's just overpriced overkill.

Of course if you've paid for an Exedy clutch that's what you should have.
Just checked prices, thought they were more expensive.
