Uh ... so? 70K miles is TWICE as much as I've gotten out of any Sachs clutch on my 16V cars. My last sachs pressure plate lasted 13K miles, and I rarely ever shifted hard. It seems that the Sachs clutches can't handle 7000 rpms. I'm never buying one again. I just put in a Luk Kit, which I bought from EUROSPORTACC.COM, so we'll see how it does. Upon comparison, I'd say the Luk pressure plate was a better design than the Sachs one.
