      Description

      When your Mustang's power output pushes past what a single-disc clutch can reliably hold, the McLeod RST Twin Disc delivers an economical twin-disc solution rated to 800 horsepower while maintaining genuine street manners. This clutch kit solves the common problem of choosing between holding capacity and daily driveability—you don't have to sacrifice one for the other.

      The twin 246mm organic-lined friction discs double the engagement surface compared to single-disc setups. Organic facings provide smooth, progressive engagement with a soft pedal effort, making this clutch kit ideal for the street performance enthusiast who doesn't want the harsh, grabby engagement of metallic race compounds. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock, while the diaphragm-style pressure plate delivers consistent clamping force through the entire rpm range.

      McLeod's patented adapter ring system allows this clutch to work with Ford 164-tooth Modular engine flywheels (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L). The 26-spline hub with 1.125-inch diameter pairs directly with TREMEC T-56 six-speed transmissions. Note that this kit requires a small valley ID flywheel configuration—it will not fit 2011-2017 factory flywheels. For GM LS-X applications, this kit works only with LS1/LS6 flat-style flywheels; recessed LS2/LS3/LS7 flywheels will not work.

      This is a street performance clutch—not designed for competition use where sustained high-heat drag racing or track sessions demand more aggressive friction materials. Proper break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to actuate the clutch 1,200 to 1,500 times before any hard use. Made in the USA.

      Kit Includes

      • Diaphragm-style pressure plate
      • Two organic-lined friction discs with sprung hubs
      • Floater plate
      • McLeod patented adapter ring (large gold metric ring)
      • Pilot alignment tool
      • Installation instructions

      Note: Pilot bushing and throwout bearing not included. Flywheel resurfacing and bellhousing alignment check recommended during installation.

      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.
