    Description

    When you're pushing 500, 600, or even 800 horsepower through a modular Ford, your factory single-disc clutch becomes the bottleneck. The McLeod RST twin disc clutch kit solves that problem with an economically priced dual-disc design that multiplies holding power without destroying street manners. Rated at 800 ft-lb of torque at the crankshaft, this setup handles the serious power that modern bolt-ons, blowers, and turbos produce while maintaining the smooth engagement characteristics that make daily driving tolerable.

    The engineering centers on twin 9.687-inch organic-faced friction discs that work together to spread clamping load across more surface area than any single disc can provide. Organic facings are the key to street drivability here - they engage progressively rather than grabbing hard like ceramic or sintered iron materials. The result is a clutch that hooks hard under full throttle but won't punish your left leg in stop-and-go traffic. The diaphragm-style pressure plate applies even clamping pressure across the entire disc face, eliminating hot spots and extending service life.

    McLeod's patent-pending gold metric adapter ring makes this kit versatile across platforms. It mounts to Ford 164T modular flywheels (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L) as well as GM 168T flat-style LS1/LS6 flywheels from 1997-2004. The 1-1/16-inch x 10-spline hub matches Ford T-45, TR-3650, and T-56 transmission input shafts. Note: This kit will not work with factory 2011-2017 Ford recessed flywheels or factory LS2/LS3/LS7 recessed flywheels - crank relief must be 6.250 inches or smaller for proper disc-to-flywheel contact.

    The RST is designed as a high-horsepower street clutch and is not intended for competition use. For best results, McLeod recommends pairing this clutch with an aftermarket steel flywheel and breaking it in with 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving before any hard use. Made in the USA.

    Kit Includes

    • Diaphragm pressure plate assembly
    • Two organic-faced friction discs
    • Floater plate
    • McLeod patent-pending gold metric adapter ring
    • Plastic pilot alignment tool
    • Installation instructions

    Note: This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing. For cable-equipped Mustangs, McLeod recommends their adjustable clutch fork ball stud (part# 16909) and throwout bearing (part# 16100).

    FAQs

    Q. What are MUST'S' when changing my clutch? A. 1. Change the pilot bearing. 2. Break the clutch in according to the instructions provided. 3. Ensure proper bellhousing alignment. 4. Resurface the flywheel. This is a critical step to guard against clutch chatter/shudder. We recommend a very coarse surface texture from a stone grinder. Something that if you ran your fingernail across the flywheel, the texture would catch your nail. 5. Inspect the entire clutch system, including hydraulics and linkage. Replacement of the Hydraulic slave with an OEM replacement is critical. Q. Do I have to use alignment pins in the flywheel? A. Yes. The pins help to ensure proper alignment of the pressure plate and add strength. Q. What is the proper break-in period? A. We would like to see 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving. Absolutely no drag racing or dyno tuning. Make sure to drive in stop-and-go city driving to actuate the clutch 1200 to 1500 times. You can drive the car 600 miles on the interstate and only shift the car 5 or 6 times and fail to break-in the clutch. Q. What causes clutch chatter? A. 1. Oil or grease on the clutch facings. 2. Worn or damaged clutch linkage, leaf springs, bushings, mounts, u-joints, CV joints, engine mounts, transmission mounts. 3. A flywheel that has not been resurfaced properly, has hot spots, has excessive run-out and or incorrect flywheel step. 4. Pressure plate or disc that is bent. 5. Defective pressure plate and or disc. 6. An engine that is not tuned properly. 7. A disc that either lacks enough marcel or has no marcel at all.
