I have no idea but I have heard Centerforce more.

On the subject of clutches, what is the difference between a 10.5" and an 11" clutch?!  :clueless:
I was looking at Keisler's webpage: http://www.keislerauto.com/mopar/transmissions/clutch.asp

What does a 11" or 8" clutch give me? Quicker disengagement/engagement? Better bite?  :dunno:

Since those  are the only 2 choices, get the Mcleod and stay away from the Centerforce.

the reason you have heard of C force more is they spend their budget on advertising instead of R&D

I just commented about my experiences in another thread. I have a centerforce and dont recommend it. Basically, I dont have a complaint about the performance, I just hate the pedal feel of it. Weird to explain, you almost have to drive my car to understand what Im talking about. I know it wasnt an adjustment problem as I had been under the car at least a dozen times trying to get it to feel better. I was somewhat use to it before I tore my car apart, but I will have to relearn it all again after getting use to a regular clutch. I am tempted to buy a new clutch, but cant justify spending money when I have a new clutch already, albeit its a piece of shi!t. Like CP said, they spent a lot of money advertising and because of it I bought their clutch. I can tell you this, I will never buy another product from centerforce again...

 Did you remove your over center spring?  I just installed a dual friction in my fifth car and I've never had a problem. they are a little grabby in the mopar, more than I remember in any other car which doesn't make sense but for  positive engagement and a lighter pedal I'm sold.
