    Description

    The McLeod RXT Twin Disc Clutch Kit solves the eternal street/strip compromise - delivering 1000 horsepower capacity while maintaining civilized street manners. This isn't a race clutch you suffer through in traffic or a street clutch that fades under power. The twin disc configuration spreads clamping loads across two friction surfaces, allowing massive torque capacity without the brutal pedal effort that plagues high-capacity single disc alternatives.

    The ceramic-faced discs with sprung hubs are the key to this clutch's dual personality. Ceramic facings provide aggressive holding power and excellent heat resistance under load, while the sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock and delivers smooth, progressive engagement. The result is a clutch that bites hard when you need it and behaves itself in stop-and-go traffic - soft pedal effort, no chatter, no drama.

    The included billet steel flywheel is precision-machined specifically for LS engines with 8-bolt crankshafts, including 2009-2013 LSA, 2014-2019 LT1/LT4, and LSX 376/454 crate engines. The 168-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter engagement. McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring system provides precise pressure plate alignment, eliminating the flywheel step issues that can plague twin disc installations.

    Designed for retrofit applications where modern LS power meets classic iron, this kit requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go break-in driving to properly seat the discs - no shortcuts, no dyno pulls until complete. The Blanchard-ground floater plate with multiple retention straps keeps noise to a minimum for true street-friendly operation.

    Kit Includes

    • Diaphragm-style pressure plate
    • Two ceramic-faced friction discs with sprung hubs
    • Billet steel flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear (8-bolt LS crankshaft pattern)
    • Blanchard-ground steel floater plate
    • CNC-machined anodized aluminum adapter ring
    • Clutch alignment pilot tool
    • Installation instructions

    Note: This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing. [VERIFY: The "comes_with" field states "organic friction discs" but all other specs indicate ceramic - please confirm disc material before publishing.]

    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.
