Sachs 763
Sachs 763
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,

I can help you out with all your manual transmission, clutch, flywheel, intake and exhaust manifold issues.
It will have a number on it that ends with 763 so it's easy to verify.

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?

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:

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.
