#54282, "new clutch seems a little slushy?"


          

I just hooked up the hydrolic lines to the new centerforce dual friction 90% over holding power clutch... we bled the line and we put some nice fluid in... it seems normal to push the clutch pedal down i was under the impression that it would be a little more difficult to engage.... but does the hydrolic fluid make it easier then a standard clutch cable? We haven't started the car up yet since the rebuild could it need to spin a little to tighten up?

You need to break in the clutch for about 500 miles.

Being a Centerforce, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was made out of sponge. I wouldn't put that clutch in a demolition derby car. I wouldn't put that clutch in to drive a car to a junkyard.
Just my two cents.

And new clutches always feel a bit odd. Give it a few miles before you pass judgement. Hope that it doesn't blow up on you, and if it does, that it doesn't do much (any) real damage.

Maybe I should e-mail them and ask them to rename the CFDF to the CFRR, as in Centerforce Russian Roulette. emoji

Anyways, best of luck with your time bomb. Face it, it is shaped like a landmine...

Oh goodness i just found out i was wrong again.... I did get the Centerforce... now i'm starting to wish i would have done a little more research before purchasing a HP Clutch... So can anyone tell me why is the CF so hated? Has anyone had any good luck with it?
I dread the thought of yanking this clutch and buying a new one.....

It's not a centerforce clutch.. it's a clutch master.

Woops.. my bad... hopefully it's not a ticking time bomb anymore.

clutchmaster is much better brand but they do not sell a clutch witha stronger clamp load so i wont be harder to push...

and an average is 500-1500 miles for a clutch to fully seat
on our Pro Clutches we provide a 6month unlimited mile warranty because we know they withstand the abuse u can throw at them...

good Luck with the CM CF should be Completly Forbidden!

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.
