Subject:Clutch Advice needed

My 86 Vanagon needs a new clutch.  I saw that the Bus Depot stocks three
different models by Sachs and LuK. They say the Sachs is the industry
stanard.  They list two LuK kits, a heavy duty and a Premium.  Vanagain
lists a Sachs and a LuK, but uses different stock numbers from those at the
Depot.

I would be very interested in knowing what you think of these kits.

Specifically, what are the REAL differences, and equally important (from my
wife's perspective) what effect does each of these units have on pushing in
the clutch peddle.  Does the clutch peddle get more and more difficult to
push in as you go "up" the list, or is the beffier pressure plate
compensated for by a better design?  Lastly, do you think the kits are worth
the price they are asking?
