Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch Pressure Plate and Disc Set for DF161739
$577.95
Free Shipping

If you’re serious about performance, the Centerforce® Dual Friction® Clutch Series is worth a look. This isn’t just any clutch; it’s a finely tuned pressure plate and disc combo that really delivers. Thanks to the patented Centerforce centrifugal weight system, you get a clutch that not only holds up under pressure but also feels great on the street. I’ve had mine for a while now, and it strikes that perfect balance between being tough and easy to handle.

What I love about the Dual Friction disc is its clever design. One side sports a full organic facing, which means it lasts longer, while the other side has a segmented organic facing that amps up the holding capacity. Depending on your setup, some versions even have segmented facings on both sides. It’s engineered for those who want serious street and strip performance without turning driving into a workout. You can feel the difference during spirited drives or at the track, and it doesn’t wear you out with heavy pedal effort.

Sure, this clutch is primarily designed for the street, but don’t underestimate its capabilities in mild competition settings. Whether you're cruising around town or pushing your ride to its limits, this clutch has got your back.
