What is blowing up your slave cylinders? Are they wearing from the inside out?

I wouldn't believe everything you hear. ESPECIALLY....the first thing you hear! I have a centerforce dual friction clutch in my car right now and have no complaints so far! The problem with people that talk bad about centerforce is they dont know that centerforce has done their homework and the clutches they make now are nothing like what they had in the past. Centerforce also now offers a bigger 12" clutch as opposed to the old 11" design. Do a search on Will Baty on here and send him a pm. He will tell you everything you need to know good or bad about centerforce.

P.S.- i have made several trips to the track on this clutch and have launched every time @ 3000-3200 and slipping the clutch. This clutch also sees stop and go traffic every single day.

well i have over 5,000 miles on it right now and no complaints so far! If it does die on me then i will be back on here agreeing with you and saying centerforce is junk. But until then i have nothing but good things to say about it. To each their own i guess.
