there are a lot of people here who have problems with them, you can do a lot
to prevent that, first off, the centerforce puts a LOT more stress on the
p.o.s. hydraulic system, so do everything you can to help it out. A slave
cylinder is $100, a HUGE chunk of change, but plan on puttin one in. Also,
make sure you have a good, new pilot and throwout bearing. (another $60) The
centerforce actually has a LIGHTER pedal than the stock p.o.s. clutch, with
a worn t/o bearing.

The other issue is that they don't allow you to slip the clutch at all which
can be useful when 4x4ing. But there are ways around that also.

Hope this sheds some light.

Just curious, what bad things have you heard about Centerforce? I
haven't heard anything negative about them (yet).

Thanks
