Hey anyone running a centerforce clutch with one of these off road?I need to change my clutch cause every time I climb over that big boulder pile my clutch decides to take up smoking!Which clutch would you guys reccomend??????

I've run Napa's heavy duty clutches on SM465's and NP235's with no slipping at all. The only trouble I ever had was one that had a defective disc that literally exploded the first time I engaged it.

When you replace, make sure your flywheel is free of oil. wipe it off with brake cleaner.

Then make sure the linkage is adjusted right.

What's your motor/gearing/tire size?

Lift It, Lock It, LIVE IT!!!

My friend has one with a truck with a 350 with 3.73 gears on 44s and has no problems. He has the dual friction. Oh yeah, he never uses 4 low. Never.

are you saying that with 3.73 gears and 44 inch tires, he never uses 4low when wheeling? That shocks me!

I am running the CenterForce II clutch kit. The presure plate is sweet!! it has multipul fingers and balance weights. I have had it in my rig for 5+ yrs now and still on the same adjustment, never been an issue while off roading. It has allways hooked up and I have yet to smell any buringclutchsmell. WAY better than that damn 3 finger pressure plate I took out!! Oh ya eaither get a new flywheel or have your resurfaced...
CenterForce ROCKS!!!

I think im sold on the centerforce clutch idea....but I have yet another problem....has anyone ever had to replace bushings in the linkage that is btween the frame and transmission?Ive got alot of flex in there whenevr I hit a bump or get tweaked off road it moves the clutch pedal and all....Ive got brand new motor and tranny mounts so I know thats not the problem.Help please?&gt;

Hmm. Everyone on the car lists has had bad luck with centerforce. Not so here it appears. I used a Sachs (probably prounounced "sucks" lol) diaphram style (multiple fingers, not 3) and it kicks ass. Nice and smooth, and I haven't made it slip except when I was going 10mph in 4th (or is it 3rd guys lol) and had the gas to the floor.
