like what? my one in the alpina well its had a horrid life still doesn't slip. must of done 100 odd runs up santa pod and about 45 laps round the ring plus 30k on the road. If it starts slipping i'll let everyone know!

I prefer sachs, but have had cars with LUK fitted and not had probs.. apart from a 525i that split the LUK pressure plate in half !!

any clutch is only as good as the driver !
