[QUOTE="Chris, post: 428248, member: 1"] Exactly. Dealerships lose money on warranties, and therefore auto manufacturers in almost all cases want to use quality parts from high quality OEMs that will last a long time. With the exception of idiot drivers, I've never, ever heard of a factory clutch (most commonly supplied by LUK or Sachs) fail prior to 100k miles. Those shitty aftermarket "upgrade" clutches? They'll be lucky if they last half that. In addition, they're usually much more of a workout for the foot. While I can understand upgrading the clutch on a 700 HP Corvette, upgrading it on a Jeep makes no sense whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
