Had a Centerforce dual friction clutch put in less than a year ago, with about 4K miles on it now.

Went to the track yesterday, ran about 6 times. Did 11.0 back to back to back, tried to get into the 10s, but it was too hot/humid I guess.

Then on the way home, clutch pedal is almost fully released by the time it grabs. Not to mention the 5th and 6th gear free revs.

So a clutch that was perfect is now crap after one day???

My clutch did about the same as your's. Made four run's and all was well,on the fifth pass I shifted into fourth and the rpm's went up and the car was slowing down. I just put in a new clutch,slave and needed to replace my flywheel also.

my clutch went at 11000 miles but it was because of a blown reat main seal leak...oil was leaking onto clutch/flywheel assembly.
