Default centerforce clutch question

i have a friend with a 07 gt and his second gear is very hard for it to come in,when it does it makes a scrapping sound.he wants to replace the clutch and he was looking at centerforce clutch since we can get it for him through my job for 250.my question is does he needs something else to install it or is a drop in replacement.finally does any one got experience with this clutch?
thank you

Sounds like he has transmission problems not related to the clutch.

Just jack the front drivers side up really high and pump the pedal. It worked for me and many others. You had to buy an alignment tool? Centerforce are some cheapskates.

the one thing that we notice is that when driving normal second gear works perfect.at the track is when the problem begins.
moose the problem is with the stock clutch not with the centerforce.

Sounds more like a driveline twist problem than a clutch. I had the same problem on my 08 with only 7000 miles. I corrected most of the problem with steeda engine mounts, however it still does it if I have three or more people in car. I have heard that the CHE K-member brace with limiters is more effective
