I've had a Centerforce clutch in my Mustang for upwards of 25,000 miles so far with no problems. If you break it in correctly there should be no problems with premature wear.
If I remember correctly, Centerforce recommends 500 - 1,000 miles of easy driving, preferably city driving, with no hard accelerations for a stop and slipping of the clutch either. In any case, I am pretty convienced that Centerforce makes the best clutches money can buy.

Now with Quaife, and Stage II Heavy Duty Halfshafts, all stuff that needed replacing, my next problem, I would suspect would be the stock clutch. Still going strong after 45,000 miles of HARD driving and countless runs at the dragstrip. Its only a matter of time.  Anyone want to guess how long the clutch will last once I get the vortech running at full song :rolleyes:

Where did you get the Halfshafts from? How much did they cost?
Sounds like your clutch is nearing D-day once that Vortech gets back....

I think that you can find a link to the company through David Z's website...can't find the addy in my favorites though but if you do a search you'll find his site. Not sure on the price though, if you find out what they cost let me know!

According to Centerforce the V6 Clutch,Dual friction #DF988988 does not have the added weights as most c/force clutches do due to lack of clearence in the b/housing,same for the Zetec clutch #MS142142 ?
