I just received my Valeo clutch kit in the mail from rockauto.
has anyone used this brand clutch?
also they throw this bearing in the kit but I don't think our rx7 need these


i think its suppose to be a pilot bearing but this is thrown in

 

that bearing is no good for an RX7..(the throw out looks right though)
the pilot bearing barely fits on your pinky and is about just about an inch in height.

 

the Valeo 52253607 fits a Mazda pickup too.

 

I have Valeo on my 626/capella wagon. It's a good (korean i think) company recommended by many shops. Usually quality stuff, probably ok for a n/a.

 

ive pulled a few of them off engines, they seem to work ok for low power applications like the n/a.

the pilot bearing is for boingers, so you can just pitch it and order the correct rotary pilot bearing. pilot with the seal, because apparently it is needed or your car will burst into flames without it.

 

we have tons of problems with the A/C compressors from Valeo but the clutches seem ok.
