RodgerH It is both good and bad to know that I was not the only one to be danced around the stupid pole by Centerforce and come to find out that the weights where the problem. You would think that the Techs or engineers who design this part would know that there could be a problem shifting with this clutch. Mcleod sells a Soft-Loc race clutch that I know 3 people are using. There are numberous adjustments for pedal pressure, slipping, rpm lockup, and I think even arm length adjustments. You get a 13 page manual on how to setup, breakin, and basic setting on the pressure plate and weights on the arms. Centerforce, bolts right on, easy on the clutch for the first 500 miles. A couple of heat cycles. McLeod easy driving for 500 miles no slipping and no uverheating the clutch, just cruising.
Rodger you know the worst part was asking the guy to tell me how there pressure plate with the weights applys more pressure. I was told the weight slide outward to increase force on the fingers of the pressure plate. I told the guy that HOW is it possible to shift the car when add pressure to the forks is applyed. I got no answer also. I did get a nice two step on this. Rick L.
