I just got my Centerforce DF clutch kit installed. Kit came with lightweight flywheel. Now i have this vibrating noise on decelleration. Is this normal or was it installed wrong? The shop that installed it told me that performance clutches are loud anyway and it was normal (I'm calling bs on that). Any help would be appreciated.

 

ask stryder. he just had his installed about 2 weeks ago.l is your clutch mushy when you step on it? or is it stiff?

 

Centerforce clutches are notorious for the weights chattering like that... I guess after almost 20 years nothing has changed...

 

Other than the vibes, how do you like it? Hows the lightnes of the flywheel affect everything, clutch itself nice? Im looking into one of these soon.

 

its mushy when i step on it

It shifts fine and I have noticed it revs quicker

 

sounds right. i couldnt stand the mushy feeling. i like it more stiff

 

Ok i just thought i got ripped off by the shop

 

oh **** i almost forgot. Luke (stryder) went to put a little bit of transmission fluid in and he ended up using the whole bottle cause they forgot refill his **** after the install

 

They added a quart of fluid. its not that

ask him if his has noise is he on now

 

i dont think he is. i tried to text him just now but i left my phone in my car. damnit! i will send him a pm with this link

 

ok thanx

 

np bud

 

I was really worried about this but from the info I got here nothing to worry about thanx alot guys

 

alright check it out I have the DFX not the DF but essentially they are the same. My clutch does love to chatter it is normal to have some but the centerforce is a little more i don't mind it. it does lessen some the more you drive it and break it in atleast mine has. if you have any concearns about the integrity of your clutch or centerforce give em a call I did and they were very helpful. the pedal is mushy because of the weight system centerforce uses on their clutches, it takes some getting used to but its nothing bad. the weight system also makes it a bit easier on the throwout bearing (just guessing) i think. yes the place that installed my clutch did forget to refill my fluid but its all good i get normal noise from my tranny i am also running the stage 2 axles which kind of whine a little. hope i helped and if you got any other q's please feel free . thanks for the heads up cole

 

np, i know how you and Matt dont like to help people out so i figure if i throw you in the spotlight, you would

 

uh huh, i don't mind helping people out they just have to ask.

 

Glad to see your your Centerforce Clutches are working out great for you guys!

Out of curiosity, when you say squishy do you mean like stock or even less? I prefer a stiff pedal like my Exedy has personally.

 

more squishy than stock

 

Hey guys, I have the same DFX and mine is extremely noisy. Especially when I'm on the interstate and I let off the accelerator with it still in gear. It's LOUD. But my question is does anyone have problems with it slipping? I had mine installed by GM when they were putting in my new motor. I got the car back and normal drove, no WOT or excessive accerleration for about 600 miles. The first time I slammed the 1-2 shift, it slipped like a bitch. Occasionally it will slip the 2-3 but very rarely. I now never accererate from first to second because I now it's going to slip. Is there anything I can do. Maybe talk to Centerforce since it was installed by a GM master tech. Will they warranty it? Thanks guys.

 

hmm sounds like they might have got grease or something on it . and mine doesn't slip and yes mine is loud with the chatter too but it grabs hard i did a 5 to 3 and chirped em and took off maybe this friday i will get to test it out at the track.

 

So you think warranty is a no go?

 

hmmm. I also bought this setup not the dfx but the standard setup from turbo tech. I am a master/nissan/ase tech and I would say a softer than normal pedal I feel would be due to not bleeding the system. I have always found after putting in a new clutch that bleeding the system is a must!! also I do believe the clutch/flywheel setup is bal. which means if they are not installed like they sit in the box and/or bolted up and the tech just put it in like a normal clutch then the clutch becomes unbal. and chatter will be felt. I will verify this when I install mine.....

 

i had a centerforce dfx in my jeep and it held like a charm... but it did chatter alot

 

Go to the dealership you had it installed at and ask if they replaced the slave cylinder when they installed it. If not then they should have advised you to do so because they fail if not replaced when a new clutch is installed. Trust me on this as I've had the tranny in/out of my pretty much more than anyone on here. If the slave is failing it will make a horrendous squealing/chirp noise itself and could very well cause the clutch to slip.

 

Im in need to a clutch now too, im trying to decide the Centerforce seems to be a good price. Where did everybody get there's at and how much did you pay?

Also im sure this is better then the Spec and CM clutch's? Or am I incorrect?
