Reliability of Replacement Clutch Parts

[IJD180]

Kwento lang.

I used to have a gen 1 93 pajero turbo with 100t kms. Its clutch needed replacing so I went to banawe on sunday to get the clutch parts. I wanted original parts but bec it was sunday, few shops were open and I only able to get not original but replacement parts. The shop sold me OEM parts pero pang Hyundai Galloper (korean). Ok daw siya. Anyway I was in a hurry and bought the parts na and had it installed. 1 day ang installation kasya ang parts.

The Galloper clutch lasted less than a year or 20,000kms. Muntik pa tumirik ang pajero bec of the clutch coming from tagaytay. Was able to limp home on 1st gear.

I replaced the clutch again with original mitsu parts. Wow! lumambot ang clutch pedal compared to the gallopper clutch and lasted until we sold the car 3 years after.

Moral of my story. Buy original especially when its the parts that will get you home safely. It saves money on the long run. Less hassle and abala for you.

Ok lang di original like busina, seat cover, stereo and stuff that isnt critical on its reliability. On the drivetrain and engine parts better get the original parts. Even a non original oil filter can stop your car in the middle of the road if your not careful.

my 2 cents

mga tsip,
clutch assembly din kaya sira nung ride ko? (ek97) may ingay pag inapakan mo ng sagad ang pedal, parang may sumasabit na buhangin, pero walan naman akong problema sa pag kambyo? pinasilip ka sa isang mekaniko, sabi nya may tagas daw! pinahid nya kamay sa sa ilalim ng pedal tapos pinakita sakin yung dumi, itsurang grasa! assembly nga kaya sira o baka isang part lang ng clutch?

koremao:::pawis lang ng clutch master kung tagas yan parng tubig na kulay brake fluid. yun ingay ay galing sa release bearing. kung matitiis mo wait ka nalang at sabay mo sa pagpalit ng clutch, pressure plate.

Kung nasa pedal, yung primary cylinder siguro iyan. Yung sakin inayos using a repair kit made by Seiken. It costs Php 250.00 ata. A few weeks ago lang.

Sir alfred, yung sa akin dati hindi full blown leak. Pero pangit ang shifting dahil nasira pala yung spring sa loob ng primary.

[afrasay]

yup, ganun din ang mangyayari pa sira ang spring, minsan madaling ipasok, minsan mahirap, parang...

Rapide. May warranty pa and okey yung mga replacement parts na ginagamit nila. And they tell you if hindi kaya ng replacement part yung papalitan nila.
