I have heard bad things about the centraforce, and besides if it is the

throwout, then how would a centraforce clutch help?  I am using a high

performance clutch, pressure plate and INTERNAL hydraulic throwout from

Pantera Performance in Colorado.  It works great.  Never needs adjustment,

gives longer throw, makes the engine compartment look neater, and even helps

with a heavy clutch.  I highly recommend the internal slave cylinder for the

clutch.
