    centerforce. I have a borg/warner clutch/pressure plate/flywheel off my 92 sitting in the garage. Now if I could just find a distributor to exchange it for a new one. They have a lifetime warrantee on them.

    so a centerforce or borg-warner? and would you happen to know which one i need? im pretty sure that when GM built these trucks with manuals, that model of transmission was the same for the 1500 series right?

    I&#39;m thinking it&#39;s an 11" 1-1/8" 10 spline disk. It&#39;s been a while, about 4 years since I last installed one. I&#39;d get the centerforce clutch. The HD B/W works great, even behind my LT1 that was in the truck for 6 years. The centerforce has weights on the pressure plate that increases holding power when the RPMs come up.
