Just get the Centax 2 clutch system, it is a lot better and easier then the CENTAX 1, thats why all the bigger cars from Serpent (like 835, 950, 950R and current 960) are still using this 4 years old clutch system and gear box...

For your infomration, 710 used 0.8 module and their clutch to gears design is only used for 710 only...it will not FIT 705 even though you buy the whole centax 3 plus the 710 2-speed gear box with shafts...beside, they are running close to $200 for new, WHY BOTHER..?

P.S...Paolo, I know you are reading this now...share some input?

Hey Solara,

Nothing to add, all you said is true.

I will stick with the Centax2. we are using this in the 950R and 960. So plenty of spares, easy to use, reliable... At the end will be cheaper and a lot easy than change to another clutch system

Have fun guys
