Centerforce Offers Increased Holding Power Clutches For 2011 5.0L

Centerforce now offers both the Dual Friction and DFX series clutches for the 2011 5.0L Mustang equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. Both clutches are designed to be a direct bolt in replacement (although the DFX Clutch Assembly requires the use of a Centerforce flywheel) for the factory unit when additional holding power is required.

Official Release:

Centerforce strives to provide top of the line products on today’s market for all performance levels. To do so, Centerforce uses patented processes and constantly tests different materials and designs to find the best combination.

The Dual Friction part number: DF023500 (Pressure Plate & Disc) and DFX part number: 01023500 (Pressure Plate & Disc). Also available are DFX Series Part Numbers 11367500 (Pressure Plate Only), and 23280023 (Disc Only). Each of these two new clutch assemblies replaces the current assembly with a higher holding capacity pressure plate, designed for a direct bolt in replacement.

NOTE: THE DFX CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REQUIRES A CENTERFORCE FLYWHEEL.

The Centerforce Dual Friction pressure plates feature our patented processes to provide a performance clutch that offers exceptional street characteristics, while offering outstanding holding-capacity and durability. The Dual-Friction disc has a full facing on the pressure plate side for drivability and longevity, while a carbon composite puc style (segmented) facing is used on the flywheel side for a positive engagement and increased holding-capacity. Dual Friction is the ultimate in street/strip holding power and performance without sacrificing pedal effort and driver control.

The DFX series is the latest of single disc performance clutches from Centerforce. The series is designed as a direct bolt in for perfect fit and function. DFX scores big, not only with holding capacity and strength, but also provides some of the best drivability from a race inspired clutch. This DFX performance clutch system utilizes the patented Centerforce centrifugal weight system for maximum grip, a patented Ball Bearing design for a light pedal and quick release, Nodular Iron pressure plate rings and reinforcements designed to help prevent drive strap breakage and safety. The Paddle, or button style disc, has been through constant testing of different friction materials and hub designs to bring the optimal combination available to you. Dual Friction® assembly is also available upon request. Because of the aggressive nature of DFX discs, one may experience some chatter.
