BuffDigits said:I have something around 10k miles on my centerforce dfx clutch with 600rwhp, been fine.
as for break in thats the same story lethal told me, but when I received the DFX clutch the paperwork inside the box clearly stated you needed to break it in.
I drove it easy for around 450 miles,(or two tanks of gas) per the instructions, then gradully increased the abuse over time and its held up well.
Do you remember what color yours is?? I also heard there was a new updated DFX disc.RL1 said:I just re checked the paper work that came with my DFX and it clearly stated a 450-500 mile break in to properly seat the clutch...Lethal also told me there was no break in WTF?? - also, when I spoke with Centerforce about issues with my clutch they asked if i had an orange or Yellow pressure plate...apparently there are 2 different kinds of DFX's
Jdaniel said:I went with a Spec stage 3+ and steel flywheel. Im not a big fan of shit that breaks and Ive never heard of any problems out of Specs. I used to driving it also because Ive driven my buddies Saleen with the Spec III for nearly 5 months! I loved the Spec clutch.

silvercoffin said:I am seriously considering the DFX with the steel fly wheel just for that reason. NO break in period. Its a PITA to break in a clutch on a car that you almost never drive on the street.
Centerforce II
Centerforce Dual Friction (which is the one most people seem to go with)
and then the DFX
I believe that the II and Dual Friction both require the usual 500 mile break in...although im not sure about that.
BuffDigits said:interesting, mine definately came with instructions saying you needed to break it in. I might have the Dual Friction one then.
I have 10k miles on it with 600rwhp and its holding up fine.
Had the sepc3 with the HP, also help up just fine, just chattered like a bitch even after lots of breakin time and lots of miles.
ah well, it may be that some of us are comparing different centerforce clutches. with my power id expect if it was as bad as some of you state that it would have gone right away so it must be a different centerforce model.
