Centerforce vs spec question

[bleedingfordblu]

I did a quick Google search but didn't find much. I'm about to swap in a new clutch on my stock t56 trans which means it has the 10 spline input shaft. I was told I should go with the Spec 3+ with the light pedal option. I'm worried that that clutch is too strong for the stock input shaft and would break. I was looking at the Centerforce Dual Friction instead.

Does anyone have any input on this? Should I be worried about the input shaft twisting off with my power level (about 430 ftlbs of torque)

Thanks for the help!

Is your stocker wore out? If not why change it?

I wouldnt do twin disc or stage 3 at your power level a 03/04 cobra style clutch will do

I just swapped my spec 3 clutch for the centerforce and the difference between the 2 are night and day. The spec pedal engagement was extremely heavy. I got used to it but not a street clutch to say the least. The center force is smooth and light as a F-ing feather.

At 483 torque my spec 3 made a punk of my input shaft

the clutch was done so I figured if Im pulling the 3650 out I wanted to put a T56 in it.

The 3650 is a nice trans and served me well but I dont like the big difference between 4th and 5th gear on it. I prefer the gearing of a T56.

fantastic. I went with a Centerforce, I cant wait to see how it feels. My old clutch was so stiff, it was pretty nuts.

yeah I was pretty worried about that haha

Thanks for the input everyone!

Let us know how you like the Dual Friction system! It will be able to handle your power levels easily and still maintain a soft pedal feel.

I am running the Centerforce DF clutch, and I have no complaints. I think you will be pleased with it. I am still running the stock 10 spline input shaft also. Would have loved to put in a 26 spline one when the motor was being built (trans was out and I was doing a new flywheel and clutch), but they were not available at the time. The shop that built the motor recommended the Centerforce DF for the light pedal feel.
