Ordered new Sachs clutch kit from Amazon, this is what I got

breadvan · Thu, May-03-2018, 04:37:57 AM

My clutch has been slipping progressively as of late and my buddy said it needs to be changed asap. Yesterday, I purchased a replacement OEM Sachs clutch kit off of Amazon. I received it today and this is what I got. It looks nothing like the stock photo on Amazon so I'm thinking I received the wrong part? I put a Sharpie in front of it for comparison. Does anyone have a picture of what the OEM clutch is supposed to look like?

That looks to be a clutch from some race car application. Bet it is worth a lot of money! to the right person.

Ya I'd keep it, figure out what it is and throw it up on ebay

given the small size it looks like it could be a motorcycle dry-clutch...

That looks about right. Seems like they sent you a nice aftermarket octaclutch disc.

Search the Sachs part number to find out what it is and what it's worth. Can't be cheap coming in packaging like that.

That looks like an F1 clutch
