Description
When your build is pushing serious power, a stock clutch becomes the weak link. The McLeod RXT Street Twin solves that problem with a twin-disc design rated for 1,000 HP—enough capacity for supercharged or turbocharged Ford builds while maintaining genuine street manners. The ceramic-faced friction discs deliver slightly aggressive engagement without the harsh, chattery behavior of full-race clutches, and the smaller 9.687" disc diameter requires less diaphragm pressure, resulting in pedal effort that's actually lighter than stock.
The twin-disc design doubles your friction surface area compared to single-disc clutches, distributing clamping loads across four contact surfaces instead of two. Each solid-hub ceramic disc provides superior heat resistance and consistent torque transfer under hard launches and high-RPM shifts. McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring system bolts directly to your existing flywheel, eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel purchase and keeping costs down without sacrificing performance.
This kit is configured for Ford applications using 26 x 1-1/8" input shafts and small-diameter flywheels (157-tooth) with the 10.4" metric bolt pattern. The Blanchard-ground floater plate incorporates multiple drive straps to minimize gear rattle and noise—a critical feature for street-driven cars. Compatible with both cable and hydraulic actuation systems.
Requires proper break-in: 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving (1,200-1,500 clutch actuations) before any wide-open-throttle or dyno use. Always resurface the flywheel with a coarse stone-ground finish before installation to prevent chatter. Pilot bearing and throwout bearing not included—replace both during installation. [VERIFY: Title/description mentions both 10.4" and 10.5" metric—confirm correct bolt pattern designation]
