    That makes sense why they had a pic of mahle and Delphi, send a Delphi, and RockAuto lists those plus more

    They're not an exact match but it's looking pretty promising at a glance. The pulley has a thicker section on the clutch side but when I have more time I will either do some measuring; or just throw the thing on and see how it lines up.

    Sad to report that my gift to you guys this holiday season is taking one for the team - this does NOT work.

    It bolts up and looks fine, until you look from the side and the gap is probably 4mm+ even without any shims - I believe spec is .3-.6mm based on another post I saw here. I "resurfaced" my original with some 400 grit on some tooling plate and reinstalled. I'll try to sell it in the 3G section but if I don't get any takers I may say screw it and have one of the guys where I work try to massage/MacGyver the front plate to see if I can salvage it..

    EDIT: You can see in the pulley comparison photo that there's some extra "meat" on the old one - this is probably the culprit.
