Centerforce clutches suck for my LS1
I told centerforce my problem, called there many times, they said to get there fw cause under hard acceleration and high rpms the centrifical weights shift, well I did that and still does not shift on high rpm shifting. I have new master cylinder,and slave. I ve decided to get another clutch kit. Ive wasted money on this piece of junk. You guys know I had posted here before with this same problem, and it is not fixed.

dont you still have the 11" DF version? If so then you cant badmouth all Centerforce products. That clutch was outdated a LONG time ago. Did you get the clutch and flywheel balanced this time? Or did you just throw it back in? If you didnt get them balanced then you cant expect it to work right. I have mentioned this several times.
Its weird how my 12" DF Centerforce has lasted over 20,000 miles on it and still shifts just fine at 6900 rpm.
If money really isnt an issue and you dont want to get an up to date centerforce then I say quit jacking with any other clutch. Just buy a textralia and be done with it. Or go the cheaper route and go LS7/LS2 combo. Either one seems to be pretty good from what I have heard.

yes I see you got the flywheel from centerforce. BUT you didnt get the clutch and flywheel BALANCED TOGETHER. So you just stated your problem. And you still have the 11" version which shouldnt even be on the market anymore. Its a piece of ****.

That is what upsets me the most, theystill sell the 11inch version. Why cant they just do a recall and refund the people money or give them a new and better clutch.

I also am very fed up with my centerforce. I have the 12" version for SC/NO2/Turbo but I only have a bolt on car. I have never had any high rpm shifting poblems but the clutch now slips like crazy in any gear over second and it only had 12k miles on it. I was told by centerforce that I have been launching too hard(Even though I have 200hp/tq less than it is rated for and have never launched it above 2k rpms due to a stock 10bolt) and they do not sell the disc by itself and the only option is to buy a "light metal" disc. So I bought that just to get me buy after my H/C swap but eventually I am going with a Tex.

I guess I am just one of the lucky ones. But I am pretty dissapointed that they would still sell the 11" version. And they dont seem to stand by their product like they used to. Good luck with your clutch searching! Hope you can get it figured out. I know it sucks not being able to drive your car like you should be able to.
