Patrick,

Did you remove the weights on your Centerforce pressure plate?

Sounds like Rick did so, and I also did before I installed my clutch.

I was really unsure what to do. When I talked to Centerforce, they denied any problem with the PP weights, blaming shifting difficulty on the transmissions, throwout bearings, phases of the moon, whatever. But I kept reading about people having problems. I was real tempted to trash the Centerforce PP and buy something else. But I finally decided to remove the weights from a brand new PP and go ahead and use it.

Have I had any clutch slippage problems? No, but I haven't had it on a track or dragstrip either. Might it slip then? Who knows. But I do know I don't have any shifting problems.

I'm still pi$$ed at Centerforce's "We don't want to consider there may be a problem" attitude.
