I have a Dual Friction Centerforce Clutch sitting in my closet and I'm getting ready to put it in. I need to get a throwout bearing and am wondering if I can use an OEM bearing or do I need to use the one made for the Centerforce Clutches, if there is one. I guess I'm asking is the part same regardless? If so I'll throw one of the OEM ones in with my order for new plugs from Courtesy.

 

do yourself a favor.. package it back up.. sell it or return it.. and get an ACT.. that centerforce is going to start slipping after 2000 miles

 

Kinda hard when I bought it 8 months ago. Besides one of my friends has one and is very pleased with it, about 20k miles on his and he was running it with a supercharger. Never slipped once for him. Anyone know about the bearing besides the post *****?

 

let me tell you a little story about throw out bearings. i got a ACT clutch installed by nissan in may of this year. everything was fine until october. my car suddenly would not go into gear. took it back to nissan and they replaced the entire hydraulic clutch assembly. that did not work. so they pulled the tranny off and looked at the clucth assy, my throw out bearing was toast. i sent the act clutch back to cali so their tech dept could look at it. they could not explain why the throw out bearing failed. i asked them if is an upgraded bearing and they said they have no such part for any of their applications. all throw out bearings are factory replacements. long story short my car toasted its bearing and nobody knows why. i think it was the hydro system not fully engaging the clutch but i dunno. so buy a new factory spec bearing and get it installed by the pros.

 

OEM bearing should do just fine.

 

Cool, thanks for the info guys, just ordered it.
