Sachs is actually a division of ZF Industries, not LUK.

I have an AC Delco replacement clutch that is stamped Sachs. I also have Centerforce and McCleod pressure plates that are stamped Valeo. Apparently like so many other things these days clutches are reboxed and sold under several different names.

Interested as to where Verne originally heard of Sachs clutches.
