Anyone used them? I know they are a popular OEM brand.
Going to be doing my clutch and slave cylinder/throwout bearing over the winter since my current TOB is making a bunch of noise.
I've been looking at various brands of clutches- I noticed Valeo sells a "Stage 1" kit for a very reasonable price that says it's good for something like 500 ft-lbs, and includes the slave cylinder/TOB. Can anyone vouch for the quality of this kit?
Also, concerned about the slave cylinder. I noticed both the Exedy and McCleod units have some bad reviews on AM where people said they went out in a short time, and that is not something I want to have to deal with. Is it kind of a crap shoot or are there certain brands to use or avoid? Centerline's slave cylinder seems to have good reviews. I'm wondering how good the Valeo unit is.
One other thing, is it standard practice to replace the pilot bearing during a clutch job?
