I've got it in my car, not sure how many miles are on it, as it was in the car when I bought it. First I would not recommend it, mine won't shift fast or at a high rpm for ****. and I have a new slave and a Ram adjustable master cylinder. And After I make a race or a real hard run 1st-4th the pedal will be sitting just off the floor. And I have to pump it. Yes I got it bled good I have a mity vac. I also adjusted the **** out of the master. Though the clutch is as soft and smooth to drive as a stock clutch. And hasn't been slipping any and I've been plenty hard on it.

I have had mine for about a year now and i love it! I know a lot of people bash the centerforce products. But what most people dont know is that.......YES the old 11" centerforce clutches were junk in our cars. BUT the new 12" DF centerforce is a whole other deal! My car is my daily driver and it has handled stop and go traffic and about 30 passes down the 1/4 mile. AND each one of those track passes was done while slipping the clutch to try and save that crappy 10 bolt.
Now when i first put my clutch in i still had WOT shifting issues but i went ahead and changed out my slave and it works like a dream!

I have the 12" DF with about 600 miles on it and I couldn't be happier. High RPM shifts are not a problem so far with a stock replacement slave and master from autozone ($65.00 each). Pedal feel has not changed.

I have the new 12" one, have had it in for about a 10,000 miles and hate it. I would never in my life buy another one. It is junk. Can't shift at high rpms, feels like crap, engages all over the place and I have a new slave and it's bled right. I honestly don't know what clutch to put in the car though, so many problems with this one and haven't heard too much good about Spec.

I had a 12" CF DF and had bad shifting issues above 5k. I had a new 01-02 slave. I did have it in a truck with the truck master cyl. But, there are many that have had issues in the f-body's as well. It is a great design clutch just that the stock hyd system isn't up to snuff to release it in 50% of vehicles.

Mine was great but the Mcleod adjustable master cylinder was neccessary to get the pedal right. I have no high rpm shift problems and I don't even have the updated slave. My only problem is that it is worn out after about 15k miles.
