Truckrolet: YOU got LUCKY! Remember the old saying:"You get what you pay for"... We went the cheap route,putting a clutch,(N.O.S. replacement), in a 4X4 Ranger. Took 3-days,since we did it in a field,not in a shop. First time owner let the clutch out,(just to friction-point),we heard a "POP"-then it wouldn't move,go in/out of gear nothing! We took it apart,again,(another 2-day's work), to find it separated all the way around the pilot-shaft hole. It looked just like the one we replaced. We took it back to the parts store.The MANAGER exchanged it for a $10-DOLLAR difference,on an aftermarket LIFETIME clutch,to re-place the faulty CHEAP ones,still in stock,and sold by the rookies. In 99% of my dealings,cheaper is not better. Nobody can replace the labor/time factored in to the equation,either,not to mention the 60-mile round trip to the parts store.
