Our Corolla is showings signs of needing a new clutch, and I'm looking at replacing it with a LuK kit. I remember at least two people on here having used them. Does anyone have any thoughts on these clutch kits? I'm finding a lot of good stuff on them online.

2 Samuel 12:13: "David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die."

I've installed plenty of these kits and overall they've been good. I've also had good luck with Valeo and Sachs. All of these companies make OEM clutches as well.

My Jetta originally shipped with a Luk clutch. I had to replace it at 260,000 miles when the DMF failed. It has a Sachs now.

IMO either is fine.

My Dodge Ram had one of those clutches. It was acceptable if you drive easy. It lasted approx 65,000 mi. I don't haul much or beat hard on the clutch.

My Honda nut friend recommended Luk to me. His famly has instailled them in all thire Hondas. I put a Luk clutch in my tercel ~20k ago and I love it. I hardly never say this about Toyota (Aisin), but I prefer the Luk over the OEM. I bought a Luk kit for my Ford diesel. I never installed it (sold the truck), but it looks nice In the process of putting on in the 'ole 240d, I'll report back on that one.
