That's why you only buy the kit...never buy the parts separately.

Subject: DML: Centerforce Clutch Headache

Well, just to let everyone know, you can no longer order a separate
clutch disc from Centerforce. You must order them in a matched set with
the pressure plate. But get this! They will still sell you a pressure
plate separate from the clutch disc. Doh!!!

I found this out only after ordering my disc and pressure plate from two
different sources. So I had to reorder another complete clutch. Now I
have a clutch and a half on order. (The half gets returned after it
arrives.) What a pain in the butt! This is going to cost me another
week. Maybe Dodge will be just as slow getting in the new transmission.

In case you ask the obvious question of why didn't I order the clutch
disc and pressure plate from the same source??? I tried this, but each
of the two vendors only showed stock availability at the time of one
piece. This was fine until Centerforce decided to change their ordering
policy. Who'da figured something so simple could turn into something so
screwed up! Catch You All Later, Rich - Ashburn, VA
