Overall I like my Centerforce clutch, but in one aspect it is grossly inferior to the stock unit...

It really stinks when it burns. It smells awful. The stock one smelled like roses in comparison.

Default I found that mine isn't as smooth as stock on take off

Also its heavier - but I think my pressure plate on the stock clutch was the reason it started slipping.

Default I didn't notice any affect on pedal feel, but I agree it is a *little* bit trickier to start.

Though I would describe the take off issue as a vagueness that wasn't there with the stock unit.

Nonetheless, the grabbing power of the CF is great. I never chirped second with the stock clutch...

*edit* I should have said, I didn't notice any negative effect on pedal feel -- it got a lot _lighter_.

Default My old clutch felt lighter than my old toyota celica.

When we went to replace it I found that it had plenty of meat left.

I had assumed that my rear main had leaked and soaked the clutch in oil and thus made it slip. But I guess it was a weak pressure plate.
