my king cobra was so stiff that i broke my seat mount trying to press it in. my centerforce is about the same as a stock effort with a bad throw out bearing

lol.. if you broke your seat cause it was so stiff you had to push on it that hard.. then something was deffanitly wrong on the install man.

cluch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, turn the flywheel... also would be a good idea to put in a steel bearing retainer and a new trans mount... typical cost for all parts (quality parts, not cheap stuff.) and labor should be around 600-700 bucks.
