Hey all! I've had clutch problems for the last several years and finally found somebody I trust to fix it. He pulled the tranny/clutch today and says the clutch needs replacing...again. I already replaced the hydraulics and he says that's working fine.
I'm ready to pull my hair out. This will be the third clutch in 4 years. The last two I had put in were both from Callaway and were made by Centerforce. This guy has worked on trannies for 17 years and asked me if it was a Centerforce after I described my problems. He says he has lots of problems with their clutches. His recommendation is to go with a straight heavy duty factory clutch from someone like Luk, Zaleo or Borg Warner. I think I should get the clutch right from Chevy and he says Chevy gets their clutches from these guys so go right to the source. I know Callaway will say put another Centerforce clutch in.
What do you think? This car is not for drag racing...I use it for cruising on trips and parades. Should I take this guy's recommendation or should I go to Chevy or what? Opinions are welcome. The car dynos around 436 at the wheels. I'll probably sell the car this spring but I would like to put in what's correct if I can.
TIA
