I keep seeing these cheap clutch kits on eBay and I'm tempted to pick one up. They claim to contain all EXEDY parts, but I'm wary since they're so cheap. $99 + $18 shipping seems too good to be true for a clutch kit. Here's an sample auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33730

They are cheap for one reason, here's a quote.

Reliable and inexpensive is not fast.Inexpensive and fast is not reliable.Fast and reliable is not inexpensive.

If it's cheap, it's exactly that. Cheap.

Yes, I've heard "Fast, reliable, inexpensive--pick two" before. However, I though EXEDY was supposed to be a very reputible brand and their kits usually list for $250+...

Exedy and Daikin make Nissan's clutches so any OEM replacements made by those companay's should be good.
