Seems like I recall someone somewhere suggesting that the weights be removed on a Centerforce clutch pressure plate. Anyone?

I pulled mine off. Did not like the rattling I was getting on occasion. I noticed no difference in clutch feel or performance. I did it on another car and they did not notice any difference either.

Talked to one of the guys at a local speed shop. He says they remove these weights all the time...

Default Are you kidding? really?

I thought the whole purpose of the weights was for applying centrifugal force?
Is that what my rattling is at idle? Jeez...I thought something was wrong with my tranny?

Gordon and I removed the weights from mine and I have no noise. The only thing I don't like about CFDF setup is on certain applications/10.5"' and 11" you can't buy the clutch disc separatley, you have to buy a whole new set, they are matched according to CF...otherwise it's a good setup.
