Just ordered my new Centerforce DF clutch this am, to replace the other one that is slipping. Will have to install it early next week, as we are taking a trip next weekend in it! It had almost 8000 miles on it the existing Centerforce clutch, so I guess I can't complain too much with all the abuse it has to put up with!!! It started having its problem at the dragstrip a few weeks ago, then apparently got worse when I put the KDW's on it, and did a small "road test"!!! Oh well, will keep you updated on the progress. I will be installing a scattershield at the same time, just to save my feet someday!!

New tires, new clutch.....what's next? You better keep the driveline intact! We can't afford anything else to break.

hey, since steve got to spend $269.00 on a clutch, does that mean that you get to buy 269 hotwheel cars to make it even? Posts: 1579 | From: Portland, OR. | Registered: May 2001

I am proud of you to only get 8000 miles from a clutch. At least we all know the car is not a trailer queen! Posts: 5682 | From: Dearborn,Mi. | Registered: Feb 2002

Yup! Something like that.

Actually, only one set, and the fronts were more worn than the rears! They have about 75% tread left except on the outer edges of the outer blocks on the front tires.
Got the clutch out now, lots of hot spots on the clutch and flywheel. I don't highly recommend second gear starts at the dragstrip
Just got the clutch done and back in. It hasn't felt this good in a LONG time. Must have been worn for awhile. It works good now!

Rob, go south on I-205, then north on I-5 to the Lake Oswego/Durham exit, turn right at the offramp signal, go to the 2nd light, turn right. Thats Jean Rd. Go to the Tee, turn left, 2 blocks on the left!
