I've had my Spec III clutch for about two years with about 20,000 miles. I didn't race too often. Maybe about 2 passes a month or so. It worked fine but just started to slip. Most likely going to go with the Textralia and see how that works out.

I've had my Centeforce DF in for not even 500 miles, and it feels like ****. A lot of play at the top, only engagees way low, and all around feels bad. I'm calling centerforce, I want them to pay to fix it or give me my money back, do not use centerforce.
