Best Brand Clutch for Mercedes w123 617

[Kittenberger]

Hi guys,

About three weeks ago I noticed my clutch starting to slip and on my ride in to work today it got really bad. Today will be the last day I drive my w123 until I replace the clutch in a few weeks.

my car is a 1985 Mercedes 300D w123 617 Turbo Diesel with a 5 speed manual transmission.

I did some research and found a few different clutches

First one is the standard Sachs

Mercedes-Benz 230/240/280/300 (1977-1985) W123 - Clutch & Flywheel - Page 1

There are only two reviews for this one and both of them are pretty bad.


The Second one is a clutch kit by LK Performance

Black Diamond Paddle (Stage 3) Clutch Kit - LK Performance

I couldn't find any reviews on this one.



What clutches have you guys used? is there another brand that I am missing?

I would like to get a stronger clutch as I drive my w123 very hard and would like to keep this setup for many more years to come.

any input what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
