OAKS -- i agree with you the extreme clutch is made better than original equipment and the better of the two i have received and sent back. the partsangle clutch and the extreme may have been correct but the clutches i received had no identification marking on either -- NONE. both had installation directions written in a generic manner -- to install a clutch the normal way -- PTO pulley away from the engine. trying to exchange USEFUL information with partsangle was impossible. the extreme clutch folks did not know a cub cadet 2182 from a Murray lawnmower. as said neither clutch had stampings or tags identifying the clutch and neither seller could furnish specific information on how their clutch were supposed to be installed on a 2182. i am paying for CORRECT parts and do not think either of these sellers would replace a damaged clutch if i had installed the one i received and it failed quickly due to a rotation issue. it is likely both clutches were correct but because i read the details of their generic installation instructions neither of the sellers could furnish useful information how their clutches were supposed to be installed on a CC 2182. you see the old warner clutch had a plastic sticker on the clutch for ID. the way pto clutches are made today it is the intent of the sellers to have a pto clutch capable of fitting a number of different mowers. 20 year or more after my 2182 was made there is not enough 2182's left to interest the clutch sellers. my CC 2182 is model 142-743-100 and sn 825xxx. i finally was able to exchange enough information with the warner PTO clutch folks to receive specific information from them on the correct clutch for a 2182. they say warner 5215-68 is the correct clutch today. after looking at the clutches on the warner pages never did see any ID on the clutches pictured ect. warner did not furnish useful information until the 3rd email.
