Centerforce Clutch problem

[Brian Schlump <jsbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently I'm running a Centerforce dual friction clutch in my 
Belvedere.  It has about 15,000 miles on it, and even though it's 
adjusted properly, it doesn't release right.  I pulled the inspection 
cover and I noticed that the fingers aren't sitting at an equal height 
in the pressure plate and they don't all contact the throw-out bearing.  
I don't race the car, I just drive it to cruise-ins, car shows, and 
occasional trips, so I'm confused about the problem.   I'm going to pull 
the tranny and replace the clutch this winter.  I like the light foot 
pressure of the Centerforce diaphram clutch for street driving vs. the 3 
finger type from Hayes and others.  I'm looking at the Centerforce 
street / Strip II as a replacement, but I'd like to know why this one 
failed before I spend the money for a new one.  BTW... before I 
installed this clutch I had the flywheel surfaced.  The tranny input 
shaft collar was in excellent shape, the input shaft was repaired by 
Passon Performance, and I used a new throw-out bearing and a new pilot 
bushing.  I also used a dial indicator to check for concentricity of the 
crank to the bellhousing, and it was in spec. Any advice would be 
appreciated...Brian
