Reviews of Sachs clutch kit

Sachs 764 Pressure Plate & Sachs 098 Friction Disc paired with a DMFW is what is colloquially referred to as the Sachs 2.5 "kit". ( it's not an actual "kit" but it's a time honored upgrade for 550+ hp Porsche 996 TT.

I've run stock Sachs also with an unsprung GT2 disc. But my car at 550/575 whp likes this setup ^.

I'm on my 3rd clutch = 17+ years.

Got a suggestion from one of the local service technicians, to go for SACHS brand clutch kit.

If your clutch has been slipping for a few months, it seems likely your flywheel may have some hot spots, and needs resurfaced at a minimum, in addition to a new clutch, pilot bushing, and throwout bearing.

If stock or mild performance gains, take the m20 flywheel and a stock m20 sachs clutch kit (bmw always sachs) and it will hold up very easily. They can hold way more torque than they are advertised for and last forever if not clutchkicked to hell.

I used sachs in the past with no issues.

I have this in my GTI. It's great.

Having sold many OEM Sachs and Luk clutch kits, I noticed pressure plate rivets are slightly taller on modified pressure plates from many major clutch tuning brands.

Be aware that the "newer" Sachs kits have been a different manufacturer than FCC which makes the OEM clutch. Newer Sachs kit seems to be an exedy clutch and pressure plate.

I have done a couple of Mini clutches and I bought a new DMF and a stock clutch kit. I believe they were either Sachs or LUK clutch kits from FCPEuro.

Sorry to burst this bubble, that I was hoping to benefit from, but I ordered from Rock Auto, it arrived today, and the Sachs kit is no longer an FCC friction disk with caged springs. The springs are no longer caged like OEM. The pressure plate also, although it looks similar is also not marked as FCC, both are just marked with weird Sachs part numbers that don't co-relate with any searches that I have done, but they do match the numbers on the outside of the Sachs box it shipped in. Both bearings are still marked as Nachi and Japan. The Sachs box says made in Japan on the outside, but the design of the friction disc is different and there is no FCC branding on either the disk or the plate. I'm not sure how much I missed this deal by, but I was gutted to find out this is no longer the deal that it was. Returning it tomorrow.
