[DML] Re: clutch life in a DMC?

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

One of the "dirty little secrets" of DMC clutches. The Centerforce IS 
an OEM clutch, the same Valeo (brand) disc, with the same pressure 
plate painted gold. Centerforce does add the weights that supposedly 
increase the clamping action, I've had both and can honestly NOT tell 
the difference in any way, except for price. My guess is that the 
Centerforce makes a difference if you drive the car VERY hard i.e. 
drag-racer style. I don't.
