I've super-bled the clutch...even though I have the LT-1 non bleedable T-56 Hydrualic system... I used the mitty vac method and got all the air out the lines...then I even whent as far as replacing hte hyrdo system...that comes factory pre-bled....same issue. Like most guys I don't like wasting money or time...

Hmm, I see all these guys having problems with the Centerforce clutch. I have one in My 95 T/A and ran 11:80's on nitrous. The clutch has 65000 miles on it and has been to the strip 4 times running M/T cheater slicks. Came out of the gates at 3500 rpms and was getting 1.5 0 to 60's. It never gave me a problem. But everycar and driver is different. I took the motor and trans out now as the odometer had 185,000 on it. The clutch shows a little wear but would still be good for another 20,000 miles.

Centerforce makes a GREAT clutch. Problem comes here....

With the stock hydrolics, they will not fully engauge and disengauge on many cars. Some get lucky.

You need to run an adjustable master like those that come with the McCloud street twin. You should be able to buy direct from McCloud, or www.lt1dave.com sells an adjustable stock unit which will also work.

You wont have any issues with the centerforce anymore.

Exactly! It's the hydraulics that can't fully engage/disengage the clutch.
