...must be the extra wieght of my CC that prevents 3rd gear chirpin
:(...then again, maybe I need some new mods :)
As far as the Centerforce II goes, I got mine based on the claim that it had
60% more bite than the OEM clutch...I had thought this would xtra bite would
relate to a change in how the clutch 'feels'...but I would still like to
think that the Centerforce II should outlive the stock clutch and can take
more of a beating.
For me the Centerforce II was actually cheaper than going with a new stock
clutch...the dealer actually did the install for me.
