[s-cars] WAS: Ball bearing turbo NOW: Centerforce clutch

[djdawson2@aol.com]

I WAS WRONG!!!  I replaced my clutch this past weekend (more on that later).  I was remiss in stating that the Centerforce had a sprung hub... it did not.  It was, however, a good thing that I replaced the clutch, as it was almost toast.  The organic side of the disc looked to be worn very little, but the side with the multiple metallic pucks was worn nearly to the rivets.
 
Sorry for the misinformation.

Well Dave,

When I opened the box from Centerforce yesterday, I was a bit
disappointed to see a new version of my old clutch, still with
unsprung hub. Yes, part number matches up with yours, DF074006.
Regardless it's going into the car Saturday morning.

I wonder what clutch disk/hub you are running in your car (since it is
NOT what comes with the normal kit for our cars), and if that might be
a reason for some of the slippage you are seeing at the strips.

Also, for those shopping for a upgraded clutch kit, I have nothing but
praise for Summit Racing and Centerforce. I called Summit on Wednesday
19th at 1pm to order the clutch, and it arrived on Thursday the 20th,
and only cost $20 to ship Next Day Air (drop ship from Centerfroce).
Summit's price was also $100 cheaper than any local dealer.
