Which clutch is most prefered centerforce or mccloud ??

I ran centerforce and it worked great for a pavement ponder!!!

X2 on the CF.Mine has been in 10 years at least.Still hooks like new.Rocky

I think they're both OK. I did break a spring in the disc of my 10.95 McCleod, but I suppose that could happen to anyone's product. Lots of people use Centerforce, I've just never cared for the use of centrifugal weights on a pressure plate. Presently I run a Sachs 10.75 and it hooks tight and has a lighter pedal than the McCleod. Nice progressive take up. Sachs also makes the OEM clutches for some high end cars. Not as well known in the Hot Rod industry, but an excellent product.

I'm sold on Centerforce. If light pedal pressure is at all a selling feature for you. Look no further.

Holding back power does not mean your pedal needs to be hard to push.

I'm tired of worn linkages, bending Z bars and flexing the firewall just because the last clutch was slipping. Not to mention the leg and knee of us older drivers.

I've always liked McLeod but I'm going with a mix of both this year, Centerforce plate and McLeod disc with Hays flywheel

What's the application ????????????

Sorry got busy elswhere. My app is 1969 super bee 440-6,4spd,373 dana
I have had centerforce d/f for years in 4x4 app. & yes pedal pressure is a concerne so I think will order a ceneterforce dual friction. But the throw out is nuts!! what about running mc cloud tb & centerforce clutch.???

I run an OE Timken tb I found.Works great.Rocky

I run an E-body with a Center Force. It's the best clutch I've ever owned. No chatter, slip, pedal pressure is great. It's my wife's car. Small block 12.50@110

But how do you all feel about mixing tb brands vs clutch brands ?? Im thinking no big deal . see centerforce is like 150 & everyone else is 50-80 bucks > what do you think a poor guy should do? is the centerforce tb that much better?

When I got my CF it was a kit.Clutch PP and TOB.The car sat for a while after install and the TB made noise.Then my buddy at the parts store found a new Timken TB for me that sat on the shelf for like 8 years.No problems at all.Rocky

Im using a McLeod 11" set up I bought from Brewer's several years ago. No issues so far. A neighbor of mine works for Luk Clutch as a R&D engineer however, so my next clutch will be a Luk.

Where does one find a LUK clutch?...I see people mention them, but can't find anyone that carries them....

Lol..I'm in Bakersfield California. No mail order places? I googled with little success...

I know a few guys in the auto parts business what flywheel and spline do you have?
Most stock type clutch kit companies don't offer an 18 spline unit.

Its a 23 spline....planning to buy the 11" jegs flywheel for $100 and a used scattershield (seems as cheap as a used bell and bottom cover).

Its going into a true daily driver with a real mild rebuilt 440. So pedal pressure needs to be where my 16 year old son and wife can drive it and not hate it. It will have a hydraulic master/slave if it matters.

If you run a hydro clutch you can run any PP setup.The hydro takes all the pressure.Its not like a mechanical linkage.The CF with mechanical link is an easy setup.Pretty much no pressure.I dont know how I could trust a 100 buck flywheel.Id have more faith in a stock wheel thats in good shape.The shield is a good idea.You know you can run a 10 1/2 clutch with a shield.Just need to move the starter in on the shield.Rocky

Yeah, Luk is actually about 5 minutes from me. I don't know of any store per se that carries them. Typically you have to know someone who works there.

Like I said, a neighbor and good friend of mine is an R&D guy there. He's offered several times to "hook me up" when I need a new package.
