It's time to replace the clutch in my 67 GTO . The car is basically a street car , no more track time since the resturation. It has a Zoom clutch in it now , however looking for your input on what brand and performance you are using . I'am leaning toward a centerforce clutch . Just looking for your opinions .

Jim:
Don't waste your money on the centerforce, in my opinion they ain't worth the extra money. I have used Hayes clutches in all my cars and have been very happy with them. I put my '69 GTO thru a living hell racing it, and the Hayes never let me down.

Ditto, Tin Injun. They also make a 10.85 to give the 10.5 more bite. I ran them way back and loved it. Later. http://PontiacPower.cc

Jim- I really liked my Centerforce clutch. It didn't have near the peddle pressure of others I have used. Never had a problem with the one I had. Ditto on the Hayes they also make a good one.

I used the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch and thought it was great. Much better than OEM or some junk parts-store clutch. There are other good clutches available I would recommend paying a little more and installing a quality one like Centerforce, McLeod or Hays and be done with it for a while. Depending on how hard you plan to run your car you may want to look into a new flywheel.

I had a 400 with a center force dual friction clutch. I switched blocks and went to a 455. The center force clutch did not handle the torque. The disc cracked in three places and the facing was gone. I found out that 455 had 11 inch clutches. When I talked to center force they said I could not buy just a clutch disc, but had to buy pressure plate and disc, that they were matched. This gets expensive. I talked to a clutch manufacturer in Indiana and he told me a dual friction clutch is not for the street. They are not meant for street driving. They are meant to be engaged fully with no slipping. The clutch also tore up my flywheel. I now have 11 flywheel and clutch, is holding up fine. Moral of story is; make sure clutch fits your application and that you can buy just the clutch disc without needing a match pressure plate are per Centerforce.
