Performance clutch

big dude1 · 12-26-2004, 06:53 PM

k i was just curious... would getting a performance centerforce racing clutch make a whole lot of difference in my quarter mile time? i know all about clutch slippage and all that but i was just wondering if it was worth the 300 bucks it would cost...

From what i have heard... you betcha! While i don't know from experience since i have an auto

, Major on JBO also says its a good way from keeping people from driving your car. WHile he also has a lightend flywheel it grabs nicely.

The fingers on the Pressure plate (springs) are usually harder, they basically grab better and then combined with the materials used in the clutch disc it has greatly increased hold. It will increase the pedal pressure which can suck on a daily driver, although some shops out there may be able to offer a soft pedal conversion. The flywheel keeps the engine spinning when it it put under load, this means that when ascending a hill with a lightend unit it may bog/labour if you only give it as many revs as you usually would. It makes it easier to stall as it weighs less and so has less inertia and this means that it wont keep the motor rotating as easily. You should get used to it after a week or so but it may cause some embarrasment at first as you will probably stall it for a little while.

I don't do enough of them to charge people. Just a little decent thing on the side.
