[DML] Problems With Valeo Brand Clutch Discs?

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My transmission is currently lying in the driveway with a Valeo brand
clutch disc hopelessly stuck on the input shaft. Splines are lined up.
Input shaft inserted into the disc effortlessly until the bellhousing
was 1/4" or so from the block, then put up serious resistance. I
suspect that was the point at which the disc became stuck.

The old disc, also Valeo brand, was stuck on the input shaft too (wore
the pressure plate side down to the rivets but barely touched the
flywheel side). At first I thought it was rusted from sitting up too
long, but now am beginning to wonder if the problem is really a fit
issue with Valeo clutch discs.

Has anybody else had problems with Valeo clutch discs? Are other
brands available? (If so, from what source?)

Thanks for the info,

Bill Robertson
