IIRC, my last Sachs kit c/w the felt or fibre O ring...... maybe.

I bought all the parts for the clutch replacement myself, probably from one of our online venders, but I don't remember which one. One item I got was a fiber bushing, 5/8"?. Darrel told me that it is not included in most kits, some vendors don't even list it, and many people miss it in the replacement, especially if it has been worn away to nothing. So, get that fiber bushing. Many of you probably know what I am talking about, probably more than I do. mcneely On Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 11:49 AM Neil <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote:
