Clutch recommendation
 

The clutch on my '68 gave up the ghost last night, so I'm looking for a new one and with the wealth of knowledge on here, thought I'd ask for any recommendations (or warnings) for a new clutch.
The car has a '69 DZ302 putting out about 550 hp with a Muncie 4 speed. Appreciate any comments.

I love Centerforce.

Agree with Charley. They make a nice product.

I am using a 10.5" Centerforce II in my Chevy II with a Ram 26 lb billet steel flywheel (part #1511), and it has been a great combination. Smooth engagement, light pedal, and no holding issues in my Chevy II that runs 12.9x @ 108 mph.

I have a centerforce in my 70 Road Runner 440+6 with a 4 speed runs good and very light pedal for us older guys.Bob

I have the dual friction centerforce in my gtx with a 600 hp hemi and my Z. Nice to use

Re: Clutch recommendation
 

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. Sounds like everyone is happy with their Centerforce.
I've never changed a clutch before, but I hear it's not that difficult so this should be a new adventure.

Any tip or things I need to watch out for or make sure I do? Thanks again.

Make sure you replace the pilot bearing and throw out as well...a clutch alignment tool is helpful...I use an old trans input shaft. Inspect fly wheel to see if their is any checking or other damage...address as needed.

I've run Centerforce (not a huge fan), have run the Macleod RST twin in my hipo trifive (wasn't truly impressed), and now have a couple to try including a 10.5" Ram, and my favorite which is the 10.5" Hayes Gold (great clutch) which is on sale at Summit.

Re: Clutch recommendation
 

ran a Hays for many years. Bought a Ram setup but had issues at installment. I sent it back for a refund. Bought a LUK 10.5 for my 69 Z/28 and love the performance. Easy pedal, no issues at 7 grand and reasonable. I run L60 Mickeys in the back with never an issue. I like easy pedals because I am lazy and my daughter in laws can drive that car with ease which is even better yet.

I have followed all the clutch recommendations for a while and then found that my car had a brand new LuK clutch assy..... And reports such as above have been positive so far. (Can't wait to have my own opinion)
