Re: Clutch Kit



Good idea. No performance upgrade is really necessary, the stock 
clutch is a good match for the engine and trans. There is a 
Centerforce upgrade available but honestly I cannot tell the 
difference and would not put it in again. (I believe people that can 
tell the difference probably replaced a failing clutch. I replaced a 
good stock clutch since "I was in there anyway".) OR they drive a LOT 
harder than I do. Just my opinion.

The Centerforce clutch is actually a modified OEM (Valeo) clutch, NO 
difference in the disc, but some fly-weights on the pressure plate to 
increase the clamping force at high RPM. I've never noticed high RPM 
slipping to be a DeLorean issue. 

Only problem with your suggestion is that there is not a 
clutch "cable. You should replace the master and slave hydraulics and 
the fluid line if it is still the original black plastic one. 

I did this about 2 years ago, my only regret is not changing the rear 
main seal. Do it!
