Gripforce, Inc.

I can't even give it 0 stars, I bought my complete clutch for my Mini Cooper less than 1 year ago, likewise the day it arrived that same day a professional installed it, a week later it already had a noise, I contacted them and they told me that they wanted photos of the damaged parts, the clutch was already installed, how did they want me to send them photos of the damaged parts. I left it for a while since they simply gave excuses for a bad installation. So it lasted for months with that noise until I had money again to do the job of replacing the clutch, I still had time to claim the warranty and they keep saying the same thing that it is due to poor installation by the mechanic, which is clearly seen to be a poor quality clutch and it didn't even last a year and it was already in bad

Don't buy anything from these guys, scam artists peddling junk. 3 10MM long fasteners to hold a 7MM thick counterweight on a flywheel, only leaves about 3MM of thread engagement, even though the fastener hole in the flywheel is 21MM deep, they could have used a 20MM long fasteners, that's what quality flywheel manufacturers do. When I contacted them, and they finally answered they blamed me for not checking their hardware they installed. They went on to try to blame everything else on the car for their failure, never owning up to having installed improper hardware. You can see in the pic the fastener is barely protruding through the counterweight, and the last couple thread are pulled out of the hole, because that's all the fastener could engage in because they were too short.

Don’t trust the Ebay reviews! Mine got erased! How many others have also been erased? I Purchased a stage 3 clutch on eBay. Gripforce sent a stage 1 clutch - the loose clutch parts just put into a USPS flat rate box. Box arrives broken open, throw out bearing hanging out of the box - and the wrong clutch disk inside. I put in for a return on eBay and gripforce sends a UPS label (for their clutch in a USPS box) so I have to find a new box to send it back. After it makes its way back to Gripforce, I have to ask for my refund - and then they only refund half my money. Why? Well gripforce outright lies and says that the clutch wasn’t returned in the original package. When asked about why they lied, they tell me I need to file a claim with eBay bc they’ll refund my money. Absolute garb

Edit: The disc did show up under a separate tracking number a week and a half later. By that time I had already returned the incomplete kit, and zero communication from the seller... It sure would have been nice to have a heads up as to what was going on! They shipped a Stage 3 Clutch Kit without the disc! I waited a week to get the kit only to open it to find missing parts. I sent them a message about the purchase, still no reply a week later. I was able to get a refund quickly through Walmart customer service and they shipped the incomplete kit back for me. I chose that path for the purchase as I read that refunds for incorrect and missing products are difficult to get resolved if purchased directly through Gripforce.

Do not buy from here!!!!! Their parts are junk. Brand new clutch mine is a pull type, the lock collar is so cheap it won’t hold the throw out bearing in place. New flywheel new clutch new pressure plate new pilot bearing new throw out bearing and as soon and you start the car it will pop out. STAY AWAY!!!!!!! They refuse to help they just tell you to ship it back and then hopefully they give you your $340 back.
