Re: [Chrysler300] Re: 1964 300K 4 speed clutch question

["Jess" <jpmiklas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

'64 shaft has 23 splines.

I switched to a Centerforce unit last year after hearing all the hype about
it. You must remove your heavy OVER CENTER spring on your clutch pedal in
order to use a Centerforce unit. The Centerforce unit mechanism is so lite
that the spring alone will cause undo pressure. I was hesitant of this but
went ahead and removed mine. I must say the clutch performed as promised:
easy pedal pressure with momumental grip and the pedal didn't feel sloppy
w/o the spring.  I was very happy with it for about 1000 miles. I had never
in my life had a stuck clutch with the old 3 finger borg & beck style but I
now have a stuck Centerforce!!!
I'll be trying the remedy from Michael Vath.
