Re: What is the "Clutch of the day"

From the beginning my centerforce clutch felt like the original clutch when it comes to effort. Since you have to take out 3/4 of the drive train to get to the clutch it is advisable to replace the flywheel while you are there. I put in a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. The engine revs quicker and more of the available horsepower goes to the wheels instead of it going to accelerating the driveline. You are litterally reducing the percentage of driveline loss between the crank and the rear wheels. Horsepower is expensive on our cars so don't overlook the utility of making this flywheel change also.
It has one feature unique to Centerforce and that is the sliding weights. They increase the plate pressure the faster you spin the clutch which is just what you want.
