V-10 clutch kit
Who makes a decent clutch kit for a F-250 V-10? I looked on ebay and prices were all over. Is Sachs any good?

Sachs is the clutch division of ZF, the manufacturer of many of the manual transmissions used by Ford. Of the three clutches I put in my '95 F350 PSD, (Valeo, LUK, and Sachs) the Sachs was the best one. I understand South Bend also makes a great clutch.
Before anyone jumps to any conclusions regarding going though that many clutches: the OEM clutch was of course the dual-mass and it died the normal death around 75K. The Valeo that replaced it lasted a few years until the throw-out bearing started squealing so I replaced it before it failed. The LUK clutch that replaced it lasted another few years until the throw-out bearing actually disintegrated while down shifting on a highway exit ramp. The Sachs clutch that replaced it felt the best, engaged the best, sounded the best of the three. It was still going strong when I sold the truck a few years ago with over 250K miles on it.
