Product Description
The Centerforce Dual-Friction pressure plates feature our patented processes to provide a performance clutch that offers exceptional street characteristics, while offering outstanding holding-capacity and durability. The Dual-Friction disc has a full facing on the pressure plate side for drivability and longevity, while a carbon composite puc style facing is used on the flywheel side for a positive engagement and increased holding-capacity. Dual Friction is the ultimate in street or strip holding power and performance without sacrificing pedal effort and driver control. The patented Centerforce Dual-Friction disc system distributes pressure plate clamping force evenly over a 360-degree friction-facing on one side of the clutch disc, while the opposing side uses a segmented friction-facing to concentrate clamping pressure and maximize clutch holding-capacity. This combination of dual configured friction-facings, coupled with our performance pressure plate, creates the ultimate clutch system that is engineered for smooth drivability, maximum longevity and awesome grip. Centerforce offers multi-level product lines allowing customers to choose a performance clutch that matches their application and driving style. Centerforce clutch assemblies are designed as an improved OE-style, direct bolt-in replacement performance clutch. The unique Centerforce design allows for easy pedal effort and everyday drivability, while offering increased holding-capacity for maximum performance. Centerforce engineers evaluate each assembly and apply our patented processes to increase the clutches holding-capacity and performance.

Centerforce Clutch for Toyota Twin Turbo Supra
By A. J. Mardinly
The shipper gave a great price and the unit was shipped promptly. I was initially disappointed to observe that the unit did not have the centrifugal weights that are the hallmark of Centerforce designs. I had chosen this clutch for medical reasons (The stock clutch was not worn out): I was unable to depress the stock clutch on my stock 1997 Special Edition Toyota Twin Turbo Supra without severe pain. My previous car was a Corvette modified by Doug Rippie such that it had 450 foot pounds torque over most of the rev range (383 stroker, AFR hydra-rev heads Callies 4340 crank, Vortech supercharger, forged J&R pistons plus many other extras) and that car had a Centerforce clutch (with weights) that had half the pedal pressure of the stock clutch yet held twice the torque and had the smoothest most luxurious engagement I have ever experienced in any car. I called Centerforce before installation, and they told me not to worry-the Supra did not have room for the weights in the bell housing, but it would still delight me. Hmm. I had Bob at Asian Auto in Tempe go ahead and do the installation. Bob is a SUPERB mechanic-he has a mechanical engineering degree from ASU and has always impressed me with his incredible depth of knowledge and conscientious attention to detail. When I got the car back, I just could not believe how badly the clutch chattered on engagement and juddered on down shifts. What a piece of crap, I thought. At least the pedal pressure was half of the stock clutch and I could drive without pain. You cannot imaging the feeling of salvation. Well, Centerforce makes a big deal about break in, so I thought I should just bear with it for 500 miles and see how things worked out. During break in, the clutch was OK when cold, but chattered like crazy when hot. Bob listened to it and said most of the noise was transmission gear clatter caused by the clutch chatter. The only way around it was revving the engine to 2,000 RPM during engagement, but I was worried that continuing that practice would lead to premature wear of the clutch. Well, after 500 or so miles, the chatter finally abated some. As time went on, the weather in Phoenix got cold and as I got close to 1,000 miles on the clutch, it seems to be pretty much free of chatter. Well, the weather is cold in Phoenix now, and the clutch seems fine even when the engine is fully warmed up. Hopefully, it will remain that way in six months when the weather gets hot again. I just LOVE driving this car, and as my medical condition remains unresolved, I could not drive it without the Centerforce clutch. BTW, the holding capability seems superb-no signs of slipping. So, in summary, if you need lower pedal pressure for whatever reason for an unmodified Toyota Twin Turbo Supra (the stock Toyota clutch had a god awful pedal pressure-the only good thing I could say about it was my wife would not drive it) this clutch is the only game in town that I know of. If you buy this clutch, be prepared for an extended break in. In the end, the results made the project worth it. Time will tell about the durability of the clutch. Hopefully, it will be the last clutch I put in this car, since it already has 110,000 miles on it, although it still does not burn any oil, due to careful maintenance, and I could end up putting a lot more miles on it. Tune in again in a few years to see about the durability.15 months later, the clutch is as smooth as can be. Call me a happy customer.
