Yep, installed the
Centerforce Dual Friction clutch kit with some other items around the beginning of august or mid august
One of em.
Anyways went through the tedious break in period of FIVE HUNDRED MILES...
Well the clutch felt great since day one
Never was nice n heavy like most aftermarket clutches
Held GREAT!
Welp here's the scoop
Went to the track today and there was barely anyone there
So I was doing runs BACK to Back
got in like 7 within an hour!
Welp, was going to warm up my tires and I spin it in the water box real quick.
Then pull forward and stop, popped it in second revved it while holding the brake
and with the side of my foot held the rev around 3500 and let out the clutch so i'd get em warm
Usually start from 3500 and just bring it to around 5500 and keep it there til i get em warm
Around an 8 second burn out
Welp, as I let out the clutch it kind of bogged and couldnt keep up or something
and it just stalled
Started it back up, and tried again...
Same outcome!
So i say ****it and proceed forward just to get the run out of the way
I figured it was just the engine being hot under all them runs

So I pull over and let it cool for about 15 mins and then it was time to run again
Pull up do the water box thing, and proceed forward
Attempt the burnout and I see smoke comn so I'm Thinkin Alright so it was nothing...
Then the lady standing next to my car (the one that guides em in and checks wristbands n crap) tells me to stop
and says you're smokin your clutch...
PERFECT!
So I back out and bring it to the air pump to plop air back in my tires and let it cool for a bit and then proceed home...
If I get on it, it slips pretty badly...
Seriously now WTF
That would be the LAST thing I would expect to go bad!
It's MEANT for that kind of crap!
Launching Hard and such

Any suggestions of what I should do?
Like I said I've had it in for like a Month n a Half
Did the required break in period
And didn't add these tires til like 3 weeks ago
This is my third week on em.

Should I call centerforce and see what they say?
Help!!

Not for nothing i will probably get some crap for this but everyone i know that put a centerforce clutch in ended up having the came thing happening as you.Most of them don't even go to the track.I would give them a call and see if they will do anything for you.You have a 50/50 chance and you won't know unless you call.Good luck and I hope they help you out.

Jebus, that sucks

Obsol3te

Yeah, but I love the way it felt tho
I hear most aftermarket clutches are REALLY heavy
This one from DAY one was always very comfortable
has these like Metal Blocks on top of the fingers
Made for a Very easy clutch pedal
Ugh, it did its purpose til today...
A shame it has to go out like this...
Should I try to get my money back?
Or just see if they'll replace it?

Damn that sucks i have no idea about what could have happened. Most aftermarket clutches will give that same feeling.

Jugador

i dont know all the specifics, but are you 100% sure something wasn't ****ed with the pressure plate and other stuff to make it not fully disengage?

Obsol3te

Other than the fact it was Brand New?
Nope.
Looked fine

My dual friction did the same thing. I decided to try the ram powergrip, and so far it holds way better than the CF ever did. When I took it out the pressure plate seemed to be weak?

If it doesn't work:

A) Try to get oyur money back...

B) If you can only get it replaced, get it back and SELL THAT BIZNATCH!!!! Then buy yourself whatever brand you want!

...
If all the CF Clutches are doing this
How are they still a company?
