Default Centerforce installed

just had my engine/trans out of my 00' ss, put a hot cam in and had some head work etc... I also put a new centerforce dual friction clutch in. The thing hooks up like a bandit, but is making some odd noises. those little weights or whatever they are on the pressure plate i believe rattle, anyone else know anything about this? can you take this part off? or what does it even do. Kinda sounds like a threw a bunch of marbles in my exhaust, and it doesn't do it while engaged. Whatever i'll just turn the radio up...

Actually the little weights are supposed to spread out more under high rpm and increase clamp-load. However, they only increase the clamping force by around 1%, which is null in my book. You can take them off without sacrificing performance or reliability. It will just eliminate the annoying noise. You may have to cut the ring that holds them all together. I took the weights off mine and will be installing it within a month or so. Good luck to you

I pulled them off of mine when it was installed - I've had the clutch for about 45,000 miles now and it's still holding strong... I guess the weights are just a gimmick.
