Default Centerforce Clutch bearing question

I have a question for the folks who installed the Centerforce clutch. Have you had any issues with the clutch or throwout bearing that comes with it? I ask because I am getting ready to have my throwout bearing replaced for a second time. If the after market is better, I might just go ahead and buy that. Thanks in advance.

I know 07Rubi2dr just had his replaced about a month ago....I think he went with the Centerforce clutch after Whipsaw #2 Trail run. I would like to know how they are as I am getting my 3rd Throw-out bearing and clutch replaced UNDER Warranty. Ionly have 40K km on the damn JK I have not done much mud/water wheeling. I know when warranty is up....I will be replacing with a good aftermarket clutch!

We have a ton of the centerforce clutches in stock and I just opened one of them to verify they dont come with a new throwout bearing. I also Called Centerforce and they dont have a new one for the JK yet.

Centerforce would make a killing if they could get something out better than stock. Hell, from the sounds of everything they could throw a crushed soda can in there with a couple of 1c o-rings and we would be better off.

Do you carry an after market bearing?

After lot of research I went with Spec Stage 3+ clutch. It comes with a very heavy duty good quality throw out bearing as well and definately better than stock.

The only thing missing was grease. Extremely happy with it.
