Looking for a clutch

Re: Looking for a clutch

If you can tell me which Centerforce to get, since it only has options for a Z28... I'm assuming I have to go back into 3rd gens when the Z had a T5?

Oh. Apparently I have a 2000 Z28 with a v6. Genius website... hard to trust a car company that cant even figure that out

It's what I have, and their plant is a mile from me. Picked it up at the office.

I don't see any issue with they website. Clearly gives the p/n for a 1996 - 2002 3.8L 231" engine.


CF I Pressure Plate: CF360076

CF I Disc: 381504


Dual Friction PP & Disc: DF504076

X2 Centerforce.

Re: Looking for a clutch

It was throwing me off with it saying Z28. But I'll go with that most likely, with just some stock replacement flywheel and slave.

Also, I need the PP & disk right? I've never handled a clutch replacement before, so I'm new to it..

Re: Looking for a clutch

Bringing this back.. what's the selling point of Centerforce? I mean buying a kit from nameless parts store is 230, and a CF is almost twice that. It's a stock car, why get the more expensive one? And for the slave cylinder, why should it get replaced?

Re: Looking for a clutch

Nothing wrong with a stock clutch.

I don't think centerforce clutch is necessary depending on your build, maybe take down the fly wheel and have it resurfaced

Re: Looking for a clutch

Then looking at generic parts store stock, is Exedy better than a Sachs?

I have a CF (they are down the street from me), and it is way superior in feel to the stock clutch.

Also replaced the slave and had the CF TOB installed. I would however use the factory TOB that comes with the slave in hindsight.

Why replace the slave? Let's just say I regreted NOT doing it - but I did get a new CF because of it. :banana:

Re: Looking for a clutch

Have a CF installed, waiting to see how it does with the Tick Master and brand new GM slave.

Re: Looking for a clutch

What made you regret not replacing it? I've gotta convince the pocketbook to let me get a new one..

You're the one asking to get a more expensive one...

If there are not or will not be any mods, go OEM; of course unless major disputes with stock clutch assembly.

Re: Looking for a clutch

From my understanding the non stock clutches offer a bit more grip and a harder feel. The grip comes in handy when you're looking to do higher rpm shifts and launches. If you're not going to race it or launch it much stock should be fine. I haven't done the clutch but from lots of reading the slave is highly recommended to be done at the same time. People have problems post clutch replacement that end up needing a slave replacement to get good pedal pressure.

Re: Looking for a clutch

I'm planning to do a cam/top end eventually, and I do race on weekends, but not alot of hard launches, mostly downshifts.
