Just wondering if anyone here uses the Centerforce Dual friction setup in there 3rd gen.? And which one the centerforce1,centerforce2,etc.
I thought of buying a kit for my 91 but want to hear some input on how good they really are and if and what abuse will they stand up too....

Id probably go with the centerforce 2
Im not super hard on the car but I plan do do some drags,tire burnin,etc.

 

I have the Dual Friction one. I really like it. It's the smoothest clutch I think I've ever had, in stop & go traffic; but it hooks up like one I used to have that had brass pads when I stand on it. I'm on my second one. I highly recommend it.

Make sure you change out the pilot bushing or bearing when you do the job, and get the flywheel re-surfaced and balanced.

 

i had a dual friction in my car for 2 years.....it was a nice smooth clutch and it stood up to 5000rpm launches (70+ passes) on slicks for both years.....and im making over 400hp at the wheels.

the key with the centerforce or any clutch is to be very careful and follow the break in procedure to make sure the disc is properly seated on the flywheel....and then you'll never have a problem with it

 

sounds good I guess I'll have to give it a try,
and you say break in? Ive never seen or heard of breakin on a clutch.....I always resurface the flywheel and replece the pilot bushing what else is there,thank for the help

 

you should drive the car around town nice and easy for about 500 miles before you give it any hard throttle or beat on it...especially at highway speeds....

the clutch disc when new isnt touching the flywheel and pressure plate on 100% of the surface....it needs to "seat" or wear itself into the point where it contacts all the surface area for maximum holding power....the clutch should come with a piece of paper that will tell you that though

 

ok thanks....hmmm 500 miles without beating on it
....now that will not be easy

 

no its not easy...but its all worth it when the clutch works great and lasts a long time :rockon:

 

I used to have an 83 z28 with a built 350 with just a hair under 400HP
and I used to go through clutches like You wouldnt beleive,but me not driving it easy after putting it in may explain alot,they never lasted long and they would chatter like hell after a few hundred,But as I said I wouldnt seat anything....
Id pull it out of the garage and start doing burnouts
lol oh well..... live and learn I guess
