Sachs 763 - LRDefender - 06-24-2015 Hi, Does anyone have any close up pictures of a Sachs 763 clutch pressure plate please? I would ideally like to know where the fulcrum is for the springs, I have someone trying to sell me one but I'm suspicious because it's in a Mercedes box. I'm not sure if that's because it is actually a Mercedes clutch or if it's a Sachs 763 in the wrong box. I'll try and get some pictures if I can and maybe someone can help to identify if it's the right 763 plate. Thanks, RE: Sachs 763 - F.R.A.S - 06-25-2015 It will have a number on it that ends with 763 so it's easy to verify. RE: Sachs 763 - LRDefender - 06-25-2015 I believe that there are companies that modify the standard plates with standard Merc part numbers to have the same clamping force as a 763 by moving the fulcrum. I can check the part code but if it's a standard plate that has been modified presumably it will work. I just need to determine wht the modification involves so I can check. If it isn't a modified plate I don't want to get stung with it. Pictures would be really helpful if anyone has any please? RE: Sachs 763 - LRDefender - 06-29-2015 Ok it looks like it's a Merc clutch but does anyone know how much torque it can handle? When I do a search for M228 it comes up with a SACHS 763 but the numbers on the clutch definitely don't seem to have 763 in them. It has: SACHS stamped M228 stamped 04 3082 156 001 printed Some pics: RE: Sachs 763 - raysorenson - 06-29-2015 M228 indicates the diameter of the clutch, which is shared by many, many sachs pressure plates. 228mm/9 inch clutches aren't all that wonderful. Probably the best 228 is the Sachs 618, but it will require custom machining of the flywheel. Googling the printed# you listed comes up with an alternate Sachs# 3082 156 031. Probably nothing special about it.
