Description
When you have pushed past 1,000 horsepower and still need to drive to the track, run hard, and drive home, the McLeod RXT 1200 delivers the holding power without the leg cramps. This twin-disc clutch handles up to 1,200 crank horsepower while maintaining a comfortable pedal feel that will not leave you massaging a charlie horse after a trip through downtown at rush hour.
The RXT 1200 features ceramic-lined clutch discs that provide slightly aggressive engagement with soft pedal effort. The higher clamp load compared to the standard RXT gives you the grip needed for serious power while the twin-disc design keeps rotating mass low for quick revs. The Blanchard-ground floater plate with multiple straps minimizes driveline noise - you may hear some feedback tones between 1200-1900 RPM, which is normal for twin-disc applications.
McLeod's patent-pending large red adapter ring system eliminates the need for a dedicated flywheel. The ring mounts to your existing large-diameter flat-style flywheel (Chevy 168T and similar) and provides the proper mounting surface for the twin-disc assembly. This adapter ring approach reduces cost while maintaining strength. Note: This kit requires a flat-style flywheel with a crank relief of 6.250" or less for proper fitment - it will not work with recessed or stepped flywheels.
Compatible with 1955-1985 Chevy V8 applications using transmissions with a 26-spline x 1-1/8" input shaft. Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the discs - actuate the clutch 1,200-1,500 times before any wide-open throttle driving. Pilot and throwout bearings sold separately. Backed by lifetime technical support from Modern Driveline.
