i just swapped to a dual friction and its the best clutch i had in my car for sure,nice pedal feel and good engagment..Thanks for all the interest and information in this thread guys! Really appreciate all of the help. As of now, my t5 is in need of a clutch. Whats y'alls take on the Centerforce dual friction? I know a lot of guys nowadays like Exedy and Spec, but my dad used is a firm believer in the CF (he used them in his 66) and I've heard some good things about the strength and drivability of the DF.
Any further knowledge on these clutches?
hmm?,ill find out soon enough,im due for the track shortly...lolI know I've said this many times and I am beating a dead horse, but my DF almost made 2 passes. It completely came apart on the second pass. When I called Centerforce to complain they said the DF is for stock cars only and should never be used on a modified car. I don't argue with their advice anymore.

I just don't think the CF makes for a good track clutch. I have heard that if you run a King Cobra pressure plate with the DF disk it is 100 times better. The pressure plate that comes with the CF is a stock pressure plate. I've never personally run that combination.

funny you said that, kurt. My experience with the DF disk was also with a KC clutch
Not much. 320 rwhp, 340 lbs-ft on drag radials. I went something like 20k miles on it before I swapped it out for the Spec stage III and went twin turbo. Nothing ever went wrong with the clutch though. I just decided to upgrade.
Just changing the quadrant, cable, and firewall adj. made the pedal effort softer and reduced chatter? I have the stage 2 Spec and don't notice chatter, except for in reverse (it's horrid, I avoid reverse if possible). Myself, personally, I prefer to reverse into parking spaces, garage, etc. Come to think of it I don't have the firewall adjuster hooked up, never have. I was told it wasn't good to use... any help is appreciated.Cable makes a huge difference. I recollect a bit of chatter too, but not too bad with a sensitive foot. I almost sold the car at one point because of the pedal effort required. I then changed the quadrant, cable, and firewall mount just to give it one last shot and it started shifting like a dream. Never had a problem since, although the place I had the motor built lost the '95 clutch cable I modded to fit. They gave me a steeda in it's place though. So we called it even.
