The CenterForce "weights" are a myth - at least on SE-Rs and FWD
applications.  The fine print in the ads says "not on all applications" and
when I talked to a company rep several years ago, was told that *NONE* of
their FWD clutches had them.  The typical FWD bellhousing supposedly
doesn't have enough clearance for them.  Only the RWD models have that
[questionable] feature.

So, it really pisses me off when I see CF ads touting the weight thingys in
magazines & catalogs targeting FWD & import markets, 'cause the dang things
are not there!
