Anyone try Centerforce clutches?
I am planning on going ahead and picking up a clutch kit since my car has like 140k miles, and I figure I am on borrowed time with my driving style. I believe it is an 11" clutch. I know spec and centerforce both make clutches for my car, but wasnt sure about any other clutch companies. I dont really want another spec clutch, but I guess I will have to if the centerforce stuff is crappy.

I am pleased with my centerforce dual friction. The lightest pedal feel I have ever had in a performance car.

I put mine in when the motor went in. I have around 2500 miles and 15 slick launches

Re: Anyone try Centerforce clutches?
I would recommend a SPEC of a Centerforce. I haev had a lot of bad luck out of CF clutches. Granted, I do drive "spirited" a lot. I have had OK luck with the Centerforce Gold series though.
If it's my car, I would probabyl go with a McLeod setup. Or a custom set from Walt at Pro-Motion in FL. I haev a RAM in my car now. It works very good, but has an incredibly high pedal effort. Some of that now is the cable since the hard pedal has worn through the inner liner. Seems you cant go wrong with a SPEC anymore too. I had it out for them pretty bad, but after working on a few cars with good working SPEC"s I am warming back up to them. The last one I used was two years ago. It was JUNK! I haev had 2 other SPEC's that were complete unblanaced JUNK. The part that pissed me off the most about the unbalanced ones were that they would blame it on me or my parts. I would pull out a perfectly smooth clutch for a SPEC and it would vibrate like you threw off the ring from your balancer. Send it back (after a BUNCH of bickering) and they sent me another that was smooth. This scenerio happened TWICE, years ago though. |

I tried to look, but mcleod doesnt seem to make one for my car, or at least I didnt see it listed in thier online catalog.

I have a stage 1 Spec in my 88 GT. It was in the car before I got it. Seems to grip well but the damn pedal feel is heavier than a 70 model 4-speed Ford truck. Last time I drove it, I thought I was going to have to use both feet to press the damn thing. So i doubt I will ever install one in a daily driver car.

Re: Anyone try Centerforce clutches?
I ahve never had experience with centerforce, but that would have been my next choice over the SPEC 3 i have in the stang. I have used RAM clutches before as well and was pleased with them in my 82 GT I used to have.
I will never buy another FRPP clutch with the problems that we have had in the cobra with it.
