Its not discontinued, but not worth the money at all
Mike at PureMS should be able to order one for you but its around $800, whereas an AWE, Southbend or any of the other aftermarket places make a better clutch for around $500

from what i've read, you can expect a longer life out of the Sachs sport clutch, though.
well, depending on what your setup is. I went with the Sachs sport clutch because I'm chipped and have no intention of going to a big turbo kit and don't track my car. I also wanted to preserve the stock driveability. Oh, and i bought the clutch last year when prices were cheaper...
but, because the cost is much higher today, that makes for a tougher decision...

Maybe longer life but I don't think a mild clutch upgrade would crap out so soon
this is just a guess though. I know that the tougher the clutch the more likely it is to wear quickly, but with a mild upgrade like that I dont think there would be a huge difference.

i'm not sure what the longevity of a sachs sport clutch vs a stage 1 southbend would be
but from the stuff i'd read here when i was researching last year, i decided to play it safe (as close to OEM without going OEM).
