Description
When your build pushes past 500 horsepower, the factory clutch becomes the weak link. The McLeod RST twin disc clutch kit bridges the gap between stock replacement and full race hardware - an economically priced solution that handles up to 800 lb-ft at the crank while remaining completely streetable. This is purpose-built hardware for the enthusiast who demands both holding power and daily drivability.
The twin-disc design doubles friction surface area compared to a single disc, which means you get serious grip without the crushing clamp load that makes race clutches miserable in traffic. Both organic-lined discs provide smooth, progressive engagement with a pedal effort that feels closer to stock than you'd expect from an 800 lb-ft clutch. The sprung hub construction absorbs drivetrain shock for clean shifts and extended component life.
McLeod's patented small black adapter ring eliminates the need for application-specific pressure plates. This ring bolts directly to small-diameter flywheels across multiple platforms: Chevy 153-tooth, Chrysler 130-tooth, Ford 157-tooth, and Buick/Olds/Pontiac 153-tooth and 156-tooth applications. The kit supports three different pressure plate bolt patterns - 10.5" Borg & Beck, 10.5" Ford Long style, and 1986-up Mustang diaphragm with dowel pins - making this one of the most versatile twin-disc setups available.
Critical break-in requirement: 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving with absolutely no drag racing or dyno tuning during this period. You need 1,200-1,500 clutch actuations for proper disc seating - highway miles alone won't cut it. Always resurface your flywheel before installation using a stone grinder to achieve a coarse surface texture. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support.
