Was the release bearing or pressure plate anything to do with CG? All the ones Ive bought have come with a stock sachs / valeo units...
Its a paddle clutch, I think people tend to forget WHAT a paddle clutch is...its a serious clutch, its NOT designed for daily driving, daily driving / traffic clutch slip WILL ruin any paddle clutch, there designed for hard driving / track, why do you think paddle clutchs are sold in general for "track use only"...Excessive slipping paddles will result in friction material on the flywheel / pressure plate on any clutch, not just CG, there not meant for this...
End of the day I have no reason to support CG any more than anyone else, its nothing to do with me, but I have ran these clutchs in all of my DT builds, my V6 audi, the 205 I built with vnt, and many more projects, and have several friends who have used these units, and im yet to encounter an issue...and I've given them death...Given what these things cost, I really dont see how you can complain, unless of course it dosnt fit (like this potential issue) or something catastrophic fails which ISNT caused by the user / fitter (which it normally is!)
These clutchs are SO cheap for what you get, every company makes odd mistakes / sends incorrect items, and from what ive personally seen, CG are just that...Esp for such a cheap product.
Paul_13, what was with that plate, did you try to fit it at all? As to me that looks like a typical plate that someone has fitted and not aligned and then tried ragging the box on....I can understand how they might have questioned the return of that, given that looks exactly like what has happened there!
