Yeah.. To me the actual clutch plates look identical, and I've been told valeo sources the plates from sachs anyway, but the valeo pressure plate where those spline things come out look alot better to me..

They are alot fatter and from what I've seen, are generally less prone to the wear that those sachs ones get from where the thrust bearing wears on it.

I didn't actually think there was any difference between the plates though for 1.7 8v/16v /1.5's.

I thought they were all the same part number... Never the less, I've chopped and changed clutches on my 16v and I haven't really had problems with slipping at all...

I'm more interested in alternatives.

Somebody told me that excedy does a sports tuff clutch for alfa's on order... Though I never followed it up..
