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.
