Reviews of Sachs parts For Business

I went with Sachs dampers which are OEM but sportier than my stock zhp dampers. I don’t regret it one bit

I’m in the middle of doing mine on my JK myself. I forget my mileage, under 100k. I wheel a little bit and plow my own driveway, so that may have contributed.

Like another commenter said, putting a new clutch in is easy. Getting access to it is a decently painful, though.

I got a Sachs clutch kit from RockAuto for about $200, the OEM one I pulled out said Sachs too, so I had some peace of mind that I’m at or near OEM quality for half the price (MOPAR parts were $500 from RockAuto). Kit comes with clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing.

Sachs are great! Came stock on the SR 2016 Altima and they ride great, stiff and sporty.

Put in a Sachs Xtend kit. I’m currently at 173k on my 13’ s5

The difference is night and day, car is 30mm lower front and 15mm in the back. Feels more planted, feedback is more responsive and absorbs bumps a bit firmer but still feels nicer than the floatier stock setup. Previously would float into a corner whereas it feels predictable and how a Bimmer should.

If you are content with stock and just want to refresh, there are many options, but Sachs is a reliable stock brand for shocks.

Sachs VR6 Clutch Kit

176k, Porsche 944. Throwout bearing went before the rubber center did, honestly the clutch was still fine. New Sachs kit in it now. That transaxle clutch job is a doozy.

I recently had my 2011 Smart Fortwo 451 (1.0 turbo) serviced to replace the clutch and actuator, and I wanted to share my experience. What We Replaced: -Clutch kit (Sachs, OEM) -Clutch actuator (OEM). The old clutch was clearly worn, and the release bearing was almost failing. However, the dual-mass flywheel seemed fine, with no excessive play or noise. After installing everything, the mechanic performed the clutch re-adaptation with a scanner. I finally got my Smart Fortwo 451 (1.0 turbo) back on Friday after replacing the clutch and actuator, and I can definitely feel a big difference. Here are a few things I’ve noticed: 1. Gear changes feel slightly smoother. 2. Weird air sound when accelerating in first gear. 3. The car seems eager to shift but sometimes unnecessarily downshifts.

I bought Sachs once and don't know if I was unlucky, but they seemed underfilled. Hit repetitive bumps and they would immediately fade. Tires would bounce like basketballs. I could hear the oil frothing in them.
