Centerforce Twin-Disc Clutch For 2010 Chevrolet Camaros - Under Pressure

The shifter has a bushing shaft held in place with a clip that must be removed before the shifter linkage can be freed from the transmission. Once the clip is removed, push out the bushing shaft and free the shift linkage from the transmission.

Here you can see the two shifter supports in front of the shift lever that also use the same clips as the shifter lever and attach to the transmission housing.

Topete also determined that unbolting the catalytic converters from the exhaust manifolds would provide added room to maneuver the transmission out from the trans tunnel. A couple of the bolts must be accessed from up top with a long extension.

Once everything was cleared from the transmission, the bellhousing bolts were removed and the trans was pulled away from the engine.

Both the OEM clutch assembly and flywheel were removed from the engine.

Centerforce's twin-disc assembly uses two clutch discs, a spacer, and an SFI-approved billet flywheel. The first clutch has six drive legs that spin the second clutch; this relieves extra pressure on the input shaft and prevents any spline damage, Our favorite part, it can hold up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque and while it can provide enough clamping force as a race clutch, it still operates smoothly for easy clutch engagement during normal street driving.

The new clutch was then bolted down, using the factory torque specification of 15 ft-lb.

Topete and his crew reinstalled the transmission, hooked up the wiring harness and linkage, and replaced the driveshaft and exhaust system.

The Centerforce flywheel was bolted on first, using the correct torque sequence, until a final setting of 74 ft-lb. The wire was used to hold the clutch pack studs in position.

Both clutches and the spacer plate were inserted over the billet flywheel.

The Centerforce pressure plate was then installed and bolted loosely so the alignment tool could be used to set the clutch pack straight.
