    The LUK clutch is a good clutch or so i hear (never run one). Get the 'badass' lifetime warantee clutch napa 70 dollar clutch set and you'll see what i mean.

    EDIT: I remember reading it. I was a part of that thread actually. Slip a napa enough and shell eat it. And since the weights on the pressure plate increase pressure on the disc (hence centrifugal force name) its obvious that its an on/off style of clutch....why people are surprised i dont know. I'd pit my used clutch against a napa clutch anyday....or an ho-reilys. But what do i know....dragsters used napa lifetime warantee clutches last time i checked.

    ok im going to talk real slow......

    He's saying that NAPA CLUTCH = LUK CLUTCH

    they are the same, twins

    Much like if someone were to say "god that guy ViolentV8toy is so annoying" and then I said "No but you know who really annoys me is that new guy that is trying to sell overpriced **** and posts really dumb things" Turns out we are talking about the same person

    Why are you so difficult? Screw what fj40freddy on the pirate4x4 thread says back in march. I TOOK OUT A NAPA CLUTCH AND PUT IN A CFII...THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

    Normally I'm not such a dick. I normally only give **** to people I know, but every post you put on this board you seem to be the end all authority on the subjects. Not saying you're wrong either(well this post I am guess I am). Just not the best way to approach OUR club.

    P.S. You're annoying the **** out of 99% of the people on here.

    allright, easy enough, now seeing as you live in moses hall, go down to room 302 and ask for tony, you may know him as the dorm old man, or that sixth year still living in the dorm.

    Go ask him to get you a case of miller high life, sit back, have a few, watch some porn, and be happy!

    Good, I think you'll make it. You were just coming in here with a blaze of glory. None of us know you, and some of us have been here for a long while.

    It's like I come into your house when your mom is cooking and tell her she's doing it all wrong and her food tastes like ****.

    We really don't give newb's too much ****. Stick around you'll like it here!!!

    Well really though i dont want to act like a dick or anything nor do i mean to if i was. I'm just trying to help and i'm pretty much opinionated on most things (as you can probably see) and I'm not the type to take too much **** from someone so i dont expect yall to take **** from me either.

    I'm a keystone guy btw...3rd floor.

    Better then me as a freshmen, no beer for me only rum, let me tell you how well that worked out

    and if you live on 3rd floor seriously goto rm 302 (my old room) and talk to tony (my old room mate). He has lived in that damn dorm for 6 years now and in the same corner room for 4. I think he is common-law married to the room. I think he actually owns the damn room by some squatter's clause.

    What room do you live in, i think i originally lived in 317, i dont know i have the number plate around here somewhere

    i burned up a Centerforce clutch in my truck and will never put one back in. the extra holding power actually made the problem worse when the clutch went out b.c. it held metal to metal on the disc and pressure plate....and because it still drove it took me a while to figure out what the hell the problem was. when i finally got the clutch out i ended up having to replace the flywheel too....not cheap. since then i've burned up 2 LUK clutches. one wasnt really "burned up" per say...but it had a stick stuck in the pressure plate and bent the forks. the other i just replaced b.c. it was lifetime warranty and i was putting a 300lb transmission in that i really didnt want to take out if the clutch went out in a month.

    the "stick" incident

    dan reed towed me home and i replaced the clutch the next day.

    Is that back when you ran 3.54s and 37s?

    323 is mine.

    no, that was with a brand new gearset of 4.88s F/R and brand new 37"s. it wasnt the clutch's fault nor due to any kind of extra strain on the drivetrain. as i said, i found a STICK in the pressure plate, about as big around as my pinky.

    i am currently running 3.54s in the rear and 4.88s in the front b.c. i dont have the money to regear the new rearend and w/ the ZF transmission and 5.72:1 1st gear i can drive just fine.

    You know, I don't know about the Centerforce I and II's but the Dual friction is not a LUK clutch. I've heard many people bash Centerforce in the offroading world and in the Hot Rod world, but you know what, other than a slight bit of clutch chatter, mine has been a mean bitch from day one. Not only has it put up with almost three years of gear banging from a 6spd, it's put up with about 415ftlbs at the flywheel waiting to punish it for engaging. Not only that, but for the past few months, I've been driving it with 2.73 gears in the ass due to my 4.10 geared 10bolt giving way(imagine that). Talk about having to ride the clutch to get moving. It still grips in every gear at full throttle without an issue.

    So while I can't vouch for the strength of a CI or II, I know that Centerforce aren't bad clutches. So take what other people say about them with a grain of salt until you've given them a chance.

    i am pretty sure that scott was running a centerforce clutch in his original toyota(may be using one now)....i had to move it one time bak when we all lived on dexter...and it was definatly on or off...when i asked him about it he said thats what he liked cause it was more predictable...maybe someone can talk to him...


    EDIT: i just realized as i was finishing this post, i dont really know why we are arguing over which clutch is good/bad....is someone even wanting to buy a new clutch or what?

    EDIT EDITk i see now...the new guy is trying to sell one...
