   Going by how the rest of the el cheapo clutches end up i'd say don't bother. Do you really want to take the box out again just for the sake of another 40-50 quid? Or pay someone to do the job twice and another clutch. You will not go far wrong with the Valeo one.

    There is a reason it is twice the price. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to clutches. I'd imagine that Panther thing is made from some sort of cheese and will just fail completely pretty quickly. Roughly £90 i think i paid for my valeo, which is a good price for a clutch imo.

    Yes, a clutch is one thing you dont buy cheap with.
    
    Mandyslover installed a transmech one that ended up doing like 100 miles before it was fucked.. because the person wouldnt buy valeo...
