New Centerforce dual friction in my BB car with approx 200 or so miles on it.
Went to do a little tire haze :D last night, rev'd her up to approx 2500 let up on the clutch & down on the throttle ( up to 5,000rpm) & did the worst clutch slip with burnt clutch smoke I have ever encountered :mad:
Think I have clutch adjusted as good as you can.
The clutch has to be right to the floor to slip it into 1st from dead stop, 1" up & you can feel it hard to get into gear. Approx an 1 1/2" free play when peddle is released. No leaks in rear main & had flywheel turned before installation! I thought these clutchs were supposed to be the cats aass! Paid huge money up here...eh! for the thing & sure not impressed!

I did not know Hays had a dual friction clutch.
I thought Centerforce had that corner of the market.

Did you have your flywheel resurfaced before you installed the clutch?
