When he asked them if the clutch was a good product or not they told him they didnt know. The only clutch company that stamps their clutches is Centerforce. every other company you can only tell the clutch from another clutch by the color and design. I am at my wits ends. apparently Evan bought an Exedy clutch and flywheel setup while he was at Vivid. So he doesnt "need" the parts I sold him anymore. He also told me that M2 doesnt make clutches and flywheels for WRX's anymore. Which is also not true. They do and continue to do so. They also still make the same parts for the RX7 as they have always done.

I have been told numerous times that the flywheel I have is infact "serviceable" and doesnt require any special modification to do so. I have also been told by numerous tranmission mechanics that my clutch is top notch and most of them had never seen an import clutch put together that well. (mine was the prototype) desinged just for me and my needs.
What confuses me is why evan bought a new clutch as well and didnt use mine. it was flawless. he should have only bought a flywheel and then I would have been glad to take my flywheel and got it serviced... even though I would have given him his money back for it I still would have gotten it serviced so that I could show him he was lied to.

Bottom line. He wants his money back because he was lied to by some random mechanics shop about the servicing of the flywheel. He lied to me when he told me that M2 doesnt make that clutch anymore. So that i would feel bad and return the money for the clutch as well. Yes I feel bad that he was lied to, but do i feel giving him his money back is warranted? I honestly dont know. I would like to, but he lied to me about the facts of the return. He has placed himself in a very bad situation and I dont feel comfortable with any of it.

I need some opinions people... tell me what you think I should do? What would you do in this situation? I will bring this up tonight at the meeting as I really want to know what everyone thinks about this.

Thanks,

See the reason I got pissed off is that in your first post you said I lied to you when in fact M2 does not sell these parts any more I can not get a new bearing for that clutch and the fly wheel would have took me like 1-2 weeks for a new serfice.
