A610 clutch for 75 quid? Surely not!

They list GTA Turbo ones as well for £85...

What I think will have happened as it has in other catalogues is that they have a 2.5 and 3.0 listed and the 3.0 is actually the 2.9 atmo rather than the 3.0 turbo of the A610 which explains why the clutch is slightly cheaper.

Blimey.... I went past that shop in Cleckheaton 2 weeks ago. If I had known, I would have taken a used clutch in to compare sizes/bolt holes etc.

Most likely they won't know and are just referring to a catalogue. Had the same thing in Maccess recently with A610 and 3.0 (2.9) Atmo confusion.

mr d..... send him some phots and dimentions of a 610 clutch so he can compare just in case it isn't an atmo clutch they have and it's the real mccoy......

Same mounting for Atmo ,Turbo and 610 ...which is why you can't just assume it's right if it fits .
I think I've got an old 610 clutch lying about somewhere and a few others .

I would love to take you up on your kind offer but my clutch don't need doing. I'm with Dell Boy on this, it won't be a 610 clutch but an ATMO one.

genuine 610 pressure plate prongs are obviously different from the other two. If they look the same, they probably are.
