Description
The supercharged 5.4L in your GT500 produces massive torque that overwhelms stock clutches under aggressive driving. McLeod's RXT twin disc system solves this fundamental problem - delivering 1000HP holding power while remaining fully streetable. The dual-disc design doubles friction surface area compared to single-disc alternatives, spreading clamping loads across two 11-inch ceramic-faced discs instead of one.
The engineering centers on ceramic-lined clutch discs with sprung hubs that provide slightly aggressive engagement with surprisingly soft pedal effort. Unlike harsh race-only setups, the RXT delivers controlled, progressive bite suitable for daily driving and stop-and-go traffic. The floater plate between the two discs ensures even pressure distribution across both friction surfaces for consistent engagement every time.
This complete kit includes a billet steel flywheel that's lighter than the factory unit, reducing rotating mass for sharper throttle response and faster revs. The 8-bolt design matches the 2007-2009 GT500 crankshaft pattern for direct bolt-on installation. McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring allows the twin-disc assembly to work seamlessly with your existing TR-6060 six-speed transmission.
Critical break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go driving (approximately 1200-1500 clutch cycles) before aggressive use or dyno tuning. Direct replacement for 2007-2009 [VERIFY: Product title states 07-11 but McLeod 6918-07 appears to fit 07-09 only - confirm year range] Shelby GT500s with the factory TR-6060 26-spline manual transmission. Pilot bearing and throwout bearing sold separately.
