Clutch to buy or not to buy

Hey, guys what do you think about this clutch I found on E-Bay? Would you risk getting a no good clutch and all that time putting it in for a $100 saving? The new clutch kit is called Gripforce it costs $150 and from work I can get a new Fenco clutch kit for $250. This is the web address if you want to take a look at it.

I've always read and herd that Toyota OEM clutches are they way to go. Buy one from Marlin. $200 bucks and it comes with everything...plus you KNOW its not cheap junk.

^^Yup, I got mine from eclutchmaster or something like that, came with everything but the flywheel, for a decent price, works great, fast shipping. Actually, just helped a buddy put in a clutch two weeks ago that came from ebay, also asco/aisin, works great.

if i can find the stupid thing at home, i will give you a coupon number for $10 off, which cuts shipping in half. or maybe heath has his still.

I will check into those, thanks. Right now I am getting all my parts together to do the 5vzfe swap. Today I got a computer for the man. 4x4 for $160 and I ordered the flywheel for $75 from a salvage yard 200 miles away. Would you have any good ideas where to look for the wiring harness for a 5vzfe w/man trans?

Thanks again
