    Key Features

    • 1,000 horsepower capacity - genuine street/strip performance without sacrificing daily driveability
    • Twin ceramic-faced friction discs with sprung hubs - smooth engagement with soft pedal effort
    • Aluminum flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear - reduced rotating mass for quicker throttle response
    • 1-1/8" x 26-spline input shaft compatibility - fits T56 Magnum, Magnum XL, TKX, and other performance transmissions
    • 9.687-inch disc diameter - optimized for high-torque LS and LT applications
    • 8-bolt crank pattern for LSA (2009-2013), LT1/LT4 (2014-2019), and LSX 376/454 crate engines
    • Diaphragm pressure plate design for consistent clamping force across the power band
    • CNC-machined anodized adapter ring - McLeod patent-pending design
    • Blanchard-ground floater plate with multiple straps - reduces drivetrain noise for street use
    • Made in the USA

    Description

    High-horsepower LS and LT swaps demand a clutch that can handle serious power without turning your street car into a cantankerous race-only machine. The McLeod RXT1000 Twin Disc Clutch Kit delivers a genuine 1,000 horsepower capacity while maintaining the engagement characteristics and pedal feel you need for daily driving, stop-and-go traffic, and spirited weekend track sessions.

    The twin-disc design doubles the friction surface area compared to a single-disc clutch, allowing the RXT1000 to clamp harder without requiring the brutal pedal effort of a single-disc race clutch. McLeod's ceramic-faced discs provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics - firm enough to hook up under power, progressive enough to modulate smoothly at low speeds. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock and reduces gear rattle at idle. A Blanchard-ground floater plate with multiple retention straps further dampens noise for improved streetability.

    The included aluminum flywheel dramatically reduces rotating mass compared to stock steel units, sharpening throttle response and allowing the engine to rev more freely. The 168-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter engagement. McLeod's patent-pending CNC-machined adapter ring allows the twin-disc assembly to bolt directly to your existing bellhousing without modification.

    This kit is specifically engineered for retro-fit applications using 8-bolt crank LS and LT engines: LSA supercharged 6.2L (2009-2013), LT1/LT4 6.2L (2014-2019), and LSX 376/454 crate motors. The 26-spline configuration matches T56 Magnum, Magnum XL, TKX, and other performance transmissions with 1-1/8" input shafts. Requires a hydraulic release bearing (not included). Will NOT work with factory recessed LS3 or LS7 flywheels. Critical break-in procedure: 500-750 miles of stop-and-go driving required before wide-open throttle use. Made in the USA.

    Kit Includes

    • Diaphragm pressure plate assembly
    • Two ceramic-faced friction discs with sprung hubs
    • Blanchard-ground floater plate
    • Aluminum flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear (8-bolt crank pattern)
    • McLeod patent-pending anodized adapter ring
    • Pilot alignment tool
    • Installation instructions with break-in procedure

    Note: Pilot bearing and throwout bearing not included - hydraulic release bearing required for operation.

    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.
