Who did you end up going with, and how are you liking it so far? Years ago when I did mine, LUK was being talked up so that's what I used. Hate it, dang thing jumps all over the place forward or reverse.

Same here. I will never buy a LUK clutch again!
I replaced that POS with a factory Valeo and it's smooth as silk no matter what.

Got the 400 hp Valair. It's great so far, it doesn't jump or grab. I used the regular bearings instead of the kevlar, the pilot bearing looked brand new and the original clutch looked hardly worn. The fingers on the pressure plate showed evidence that the throwout bearing was dragging a bit.

It releases a little farther from the floor than my old clutch, so that takes a bit to get used to when your taking off up hill lol.
