last night i had to pull my tranny due to yours truely dropping a socket into the space where the bleeder valve is located on the slave. (long story, dont ask)

so anyway i got a couple buddies with me and we pull the tranny pretty quick and easy and get the socket out. Since we were that far i figured i might as well see how my clutch is holding up and see if i can fix the "no WOT shift crap thats happening".

well before i even got the bellhousing off (pulled tranny first, not bellhousing) i see that one of the weights on the clutch is out as far as it will go and actually stuck under the lip of the pressure plate. I realize this might be hard to picture so i will get some pics when i get home from work. So this one weight being pulled back is in turn pulling half the weights back with it b/c they are all looped together. I tried prying the weight out with a little pocket screwdriver but it is definately gonna take more than that.

So i guess i am gonna call will baty @ centerforce today and see what he can do......hopefully the customer service i always brag so much about doesn't let me down. If anyone has any opinions on what to do let me know. I know one guy on here was talking about just cutting the weights off but i am just looking for more than one option.

p.s.- the clutch only has like 5,000 miles on it MAX!! I installed it in december.

Did the wires that hold the weights break?

The only fixes to the problem that I have come up with that "should" work is removing the weights all together, Mcleod master cyl, or another brand of clutch.

nah the wires are still there and connected. I have heard of removing the weights but i'm a little scared of doing that as of now. I called Will Baty from centerforce and am waiting on a call back to see what he says. If this doesn't help the "no shift @ WOT" problem i will be looking for another brand.

Come on centerforce.....dont let me down.

check this forum. There has been much discussion about these problems over the last couple of weeks and some with success after removing the weights.

i only have 375 at the wheels on my ws6 but i removed the weights on my centerforce dual friction and it still holds perfect and shifts up to 6200 rpm
