dimsum Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I just bought a "brand new" Centerforce Stage 1 clutch. Although the clutch has never been installed or used, it was originally purchased in 1994. The guy sold his Z years ago, but he just found the clutch in his garage. Can anybody tell me if this clutch is safe to install and use? Although there is some minor surface rust, it is easily removed with some steel wool. Can anybody think of any problems I might encounter with a clutch this old? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 No problem as long as it is not damaged. Run it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Just make sure to get your flywheel machined, and be sure the clutch is clean/rust free. Check it out fo chips and dings (parts sitting around tend to get bumped and/or dropped sometimes) but otherwise, it should work fine.

dimsum Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks, all, for the reassurance. I was hoping there wouldn't be any problems, since the clutch still looks and feels structurally sound. I'm planning on getting a lightened flywheel of some sort to go with this clutch. I'm still trying to research the pros and cons of aluminum vs. steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
