Will installing a centerforce dual friction clutch/pressureplate
result in a stiffer clutch pedal ? Should any of the hydraulics
(slave flex hose) be upgraded ? I have an 88 rx7 TURBO II.

 

stock pedal feel, 90% more grab, blah blah. i don't know about the hose, i got a centerforce I in mine and they didn't need to put anything in

 

ACT oWnZ J0o!

 

I have a CFDF in my TII, and I swear that it is SOFTER than the stock clutch.

You may want to inspect the clutch release cylinder and hose, as everyone I know with 87-88 RX-7's (my two 88's included) has had these fail in the last year, so I think that they have just about reached their service life. If you have replaced these recently, then you should be fine. BTW, you can get a clutch release cylinder from the local generic auto parts store for about 1/4 the price of the Mazda cylinder.

Be sure to have someone competent install the CFDF clutch (or help you out if you are doing it yourself), as many RX-7 owners do not install these correctly, and the clutch fails prematurely.

 

Mine just went out a couple months back. (87 TII)

 

off to performance mods..

 

i just bought a stage I this morning, it should do me well. i dont care about a harder feel, i doubt it will even change. if not, ill get a beefy left calf muscle!
