Buying Second Hand Clutches

hey all,

wandering if you 'would' opt to buy a low usage HD clutch?
good condition etc...

what would be the for's and against's?

thanks
Mike

good since its already bedded/worn in.

Bad....might ofcourse have previous damage or uneven wear form the previous owner with a different driving style to yourself.

If its such a big difference in price go for it , otherwise better off getting the new item.

depends on the seller aswell, if u know the guy and trust him etc

hmm 2nd hand clutch... trust is such a big word because the work involved to install a clutch is not cheap... so it comes down to the cost/benefit of doing this...

I dunno, make sure it is from a reputable guy and when he/she tells you it has done 50K or so then add another 20k to that hahaha... then do your maths...given that an average clutch lasts 100k-120k

just buy a new one. its not worth 2nd hand. I recently bought a second hand HD clutch and it was f*&^.

Cheers boyz - i might for for a new one then... the difference isn't that much but for the the piece of mind is definatelly worthwhile getting a new one!

i just bought a second hand clutch off weq. said it had 10k on it....looked likle it had 10k on it.... just trust the person u bought it from....since i have put it in it has been great...

yeah u gotta check out the clutch before u buy. see how much meat it has left and make sure the pressure plate isnt scorched and burnt.
