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... Classicrocjunkie 12-26-2004, 11:02 PM 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. big dude1 12-31-2004, 09:37 PM k thanks :) but how would it keep people from driving your car? Classicrocjunkie 01-02-2005, 12:30 AM with a lightend flywheel its harder to keep it from stalling.. so i hear.. big dude1 01-02-2005, 06:39 PM lol that would seik if i tried to teach my girlfriend to drive a stick on my car lol noshun 01-03-2005, 04:23 PM lol that would seik if i tried to teach my girlfriend to drive a stick on my car lol 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. big dude1 01-03-2005, 07:08 PM ohhhh.... *scratches head*... i get it :) makes a lot of sense... i think... :) Classicrocjunkie 01-03-2005, 08:56 PM 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.
