I put a centerforce dual friction clutch in my 97 and I love it, can't get it to slip in any gear and never smells burnt. It's also very good daily driving too

I guess i'm a little late but i'll chime in none the less...

I ran a centerforce(same part number as you) for a little over a year, it snapped the master cylinder out of the pedal assembly 3 times, always breaking the pedal assembly. It was also very difficult to shift at high rpms as the spring was so heavy=much slower shifts.

I purchased the centerforce after I installed the blower at 50k miles and the stock clutch wouldn't hold. Well I had abused the stock clutch initially quite a bit, stuck in sand, stuck in snow etc.

I put a stock replacement clutch in at 80k and it is still holding now at 156k

just my experiences, other people have different ones.

In between I ran a mcleod rst rwin disk for about 7k. It got hot and wouldn't fully disengage...problem was I use the truck for work, lots of weight in truck and heavy trailers, maneuvering around a construction site you need to work the clutch and slip a lil to back up trailers etc. The twin disk doesn't really like that...

I know I am due sooner than later for another clutch leaning towards another stock one right now.

Good luck

dang , I already bought one , the truck in question is a cambping/dd truck
it has almost 2500-3500 LBS load
60 galons of water and $hit load of tents and wood among other stuff,
well , we are just gonna have to try this out

because the spec didnt work , and it damaged the fly wheel , so the only one reasonably priced with a flywheel is the center force

the OEM flywheel alone will cost 250-275$ not to mention the clutch
and th mcleod is way too pricey for my customer .
