Reputation Of Centerforce ?
Had to cancel my order for an ACT clutch as there are parts that aren't coming in for it. Went with a Centerforce unit. I have heard of Centerforce clutches before, but can anybody give me their experieces (from previous cars) or what they have heard about them. Thanks.

it has broken alot of rears on my previous rx7's
I prefer ACT never had any problems with there clutch's |
I've had Centerforce on 2 different RX-7's. I love them. I had a Bonez street/strip clutch and killed it within 1000 miles. I don't even drag race. I've heard nothing but good things about ACT.

Had a Centerforce on my FC Turbo. You're supposed to break them in for 500 miles, I think. That was a bit tedious, but afterward I have no complaints about the part. It held its own.

Back in the day, I also used Centerforce Clutches (Dual Friction) on my FC's. They worked out great! :) In fact, the Centerforce's out-lasted 3 transmissions and 2 rear ends! hahaha Earlier, I also used a Racing Beat Sport/Strip clutch and smoked it up in less than 1000 miles.

I would never buy their products. Imagine one of those little weights coming off inside the bell housing? In the MX6/Probe community nobody who plans on ANY power-adding mods buys Centerforce. As an OEM replacement, it might be okay.

I had a centerforce on my mustang. Held up to 4krpm dumps at the drag strip. Can't say the same thing about the tranny and diffs though. I have heard that if you're doing high-rpm drag racing, then one should probably look into a scattershield for the clutch in case it explodes, like dmp said. I don't know of a scattershield for the 8 yet, though. I would venture to say that the clutch would probably be fine without said shield if you're just using it as a oem replacement, and not engaging it hard at high rpm's.

I am a member of probetalk myself but I didn't own a probe or an mx6. I had an mx-3 klze with all the bolt ons. Damn I miss that car :( Anyway I would go with ACT or Clutch master stage 1. |
We run a centerforce clutch is a 2002 S2000 that has been supercharged and it has outlasted the 4:44 gears that were installed. It is a center force clutch stage 2, no problems at all with it. When I see what the different kits are that are coming out (ie turbo / super charger) I plan on a centerforce clutch.

I had a Turbo 93 Probe GT...260lbs-ft at the front wheels...the ACT I had worked GREAT...was just 'starting' to slip on occasion when I sold the car after 3 years of boost, and a bunch of N2O before boost. :) |

I met dangerous dan at MyrtleMadness!! :D Mine was a one-off kit custom built. Actually, except for a seal going in the turbo, I think it's the longest-tenured boosted 2nd gen around. :D Partly due to design...and partly due to not being 'power-greedy'. Here's what the piping looked like... http://www.d-mphotos.com/images/undercar1.jpg The tranny was/is stock, btw... |
I have an RPS Street Clutch on my 300ZX and it has held up very well over the last two years.
