Description
When your build pushes past 500hp and you still want to drive it on the street, single-disc clutches start showing their limits. The McLeod RXT twin disc clutch kit delivers 1,000hp holding capacity in a package that maintains street manners - soft pedal effort, smooth engagement, and the kind of durability that lets you drive to the track, run quarter-mile passes, and drive home without drama.
The engineering centers on dual ceramic friction discs mounted to a Blanchard ground floater plate. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics - enough grip for serious power without the on-off grabbiness that makes some racing clutches miserable in traffic. The floater plate distributes heat across both friction surfaces, preventing the hot spots that kill single-disc setups under sustained abuse. McLeod's diaphragm pressure plate maintains consistent clamping force throughout the disc's lifespan while actually delivering lighter-than-stock pedal effort.
This kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large gold metric adapter ring, eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel. The adapter ring bolts directly to flat-style metric flywheels found on Ford 164T Modular engines (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L) and GM 168T LS1/LS6 applications. Critical note: this kit will NOT fit factory 2011-17 Coyote flywheels, recessed LS2/LS3/LS7 flywheels, or flywheels with crank reliefs larger than 6.250 inches in diameter. The 1-1/8-inch x 26-spline input shaft fits T-45, TR-3650, T-56, TR-6060, and TREMEC Magnum transmissions with 26-spline inputs.
Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the friction surfaces - no drag racing or dyno pulls until you've actuated the clutch 1,200-1,500 times. Always resurface the flywheel with a coarse stone-ground finish, replace the pilot bearing, and verify bellhousing alignment during installation. This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing.
