I don't know enough to go into details but just about everything I hear about centerforce is bad. Try going with a comparable McLeod clutch.

I dont think Spec makes T5 clutches, so get a McLeod.

I know spec makes the star clutches for t-5 trannys they are some of the best clutches on the market. Most people I know go with the stage 2 or three.
