Description
When you're pushing four-digit horsepower through a manual transmission, the clutch becomes the weak link that separates a successful build from a scattered drivetrain. The McLeod RXT1200 twin disc clutch kit handles 1,200 crank horsepower while delivering the street manners that make daily driving possible. This isn't a race-only unit that chatters at every stoplight--it's engineered for the enthusiast who drives to the track, rips off quarter-mile passes, and drives home.
The RXT1200 uses a higher clamp load than standard RXT twin disc kits to hold serious power without sacrificing pedal effort. The twin 9.687-inch diameter discs require less diaphragm pressure than larger clutch designs, translating directly to a stock-like pedal feel that won't fatigue your leg in traffic. The sprung hub design dampens driveline vibrations and provides smoother engagement than solid hub setups, eliminating the harsh grab that makes high-capacity clutches undriveable on the street. Ceramic friction material delivers consistent bite under extreme heat while still allowing progressive engagement.
This kit is purpose-built for retrofit applications using modern LS power in classic or custom chassis builds. Compatible engines include the 2009-2013 LSA 6.2L supercharged, 2014-2019 LT1/LT4 6.2L direct injection, and LSX 376/454 crate engines--all with 8-bolt crankshafts. The included aluminum flywheel reduces rotating mass compared to steel alternatives, improving throttle response and acceleration. McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring ensures precise pressure plate alignment and eliminates compatibility guesswork.
The 1-1/8" x 26-spline configuration matches TREMEC T56, Magnum, Magnum XL, and TKX transmissions, making this the ideal clutch solution for LS swaps into muscle cars, pro-touring builds, and any application demanding serious clutch capacity without sacrificing streetability. Note: This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing.
