    I agree. I have put several Centerforce dual friciton clutches in small block cars....they have less pedal effort and DO NOT SLIP.

    clutch for sale

    Hi all. 2 years ago I bought from Jim Cowles a complete clutch replacement set for my 1970 Gt350. I never used it. Can anyone put it to good use? I think I paid about 350.00 for everything but I will need to check to be sure.

    Let me know.
