clutch swap question?????

[jav3323]

about eight months ago a got an oem clutch installed with new T.O. bearing, pilot bushing, and flywheel resurfaced. i want to swap in a performance clutch myself and i was wondering if i would need a new T.O. bearing, pilot bushing, and flywheel resurfaced again. thanks

The aftermarket clutch should come with all the things that you need to swap out so don't worry about that. About the flywheel, since it's only eight months ago on a factory clutch, I don't think you'll need to researface unless you some time in that eight months burned the clutch such as letting it slip till you can smell burning clutch. If that hasn't happend, you'll be fine with the parts that comes with the clutch.

im gonna get the centerforce 1 clutch and everywhere i have seen it it only comes with the pressure plate and the disc.

i was looking around and they sell the throwout bearing seperate from the centerforce clutch kit. i want to know if i really need it though. thanks

In a word, no. With such a short run, you most likely would not need a new TO bearing or pilot bushing. But be sure to check while you have them out of the car. In particular the bearing.Quick observation.... I would question both the quality and dedication of a company that cannot be bothered to put a good T.O. and pilot bushing in with a new clutch kit. Even el-cheapo Pep-Boys specials come complete.Lastly, I don't like centerforce... but that doesn't mean crap, its only my opinion.

I used a Spec clutch in mine ..It can hold all the power you want to make...plus it it a family company...

i was originally planing on getting a spec but the only reason that i am going to get the centerforce is because i know someone that can get me the clutch for free and all i have to pay is shipping. thanks for the replys.
