McLeod didn't mention anything to me about harder shifting or shortened bearing like. He said the clutch will work fine if you just remove the weights from the pressure plate.

The problem was when the weights moved the bearing back into its bore the first press of the clutch would close up the 1/8th inch again but not be enough to disengage the clutch completely, thus making it hard to get into the next gear. This only happens if you really spin it up, high rpm, which causes the weights to have enough centrifigal force to flex the spring steel forks towards the bearing.

I didn't get the guys name that I spoke to but I got the impression that he was the owner. Is his name Red. He said the Centerforce clutch was fine without the weights and the only reason he would sell me a new clutch was because he believed "HE" builds a better unit.
