Wether you’re a skilled automotive DIY’er or someone just getting into wrenching on their own rides, at some point you’ll likely take on the challenge of changing a clutch. Wether that’s due to a worn out clutch, or the need to upgrade for more power handling capability, choosing the right clutch, and knowing what you’re getting into is always helpful.
Modern clutch technology has evolved significantly from what was even just a few years ago. A company that has long been at the forefront of that technological development is Centerforce. Their ball bearing design, patented weight system, and more recently DYAD dual disc systems have all offered features and benefits never before seen in many clutch applications.
Centerforce can custom tailor the right mix of clutch disc, pressure plates, and other clutch components for a customer’s application, and keeps a large catalog of part numbers for many applications.
They also have a very handy Frequently Asked Questions section on their web-site. This FAQ covers everything from the basics of what to know when swapping out a clutch, whether you’re a newcomer to the hobby or it’s simply been a while, that section alone is full of helpful tips and reminders. Those tips include making sure everything is clean, having a new or properly resurfaced flywheel, and in the case of a clutch failure, determining the root cause of the problem before installing the new clutch.
The FAQ also gets into several other topics, such as Clutch Troubleshooting which covers chatter, engagement issues, and other common problems associated with manual transmission vehicles and clutch operation.
Other topics covered in installation include the question of mixing and matching Centerforce components with other clutch components, as well as some of the common differences between Centerforce clutches and others on the market including OEM style.
