RE: [DML] Problems With Valeo Brand Clutch Discs?

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill, To my knowledge the Valeo was the original and is the only one made
for the car. Even other brands like Center force and Sacks use Valeo, just
reboxed. They updated the throw out bearing years ago and I sell the update.
