    Description

    When you're pushing past 1000 horsepower but still want to drive your car on the street, most clutches force you to choose between holding power and livability. The McLeod RXT1200 twin disc clutch kit eliminates that compromise, delivering 1200 horsepower capacity with pedal effort that feels nearly stock. The higher clamp load compared to the standard RXT gives you the grip to handle serious power without the leg workout typical of high-capacity single-disc setups.

    The twin ceramic friction discs provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics, making this clutch genuinely driver-friendly despite its massive torque capacity. The sprung hub design dampens driveline vibrations and delivers smoother engagement than solid hub setups, so there's no harsh grab at low speeds. The 9.687-inch disc diameter is smaller than many single-disc performance clutches, which means the diaphragm pressure plate needs less force to achieve full clamp load, translating directly to easier pedal effort.

    This kit is engineered specifically for retrofit applications using 8-bolt crank LS engines, including the 2009-13 LSA 6.2L, 2014-19 LT1/LT4 6.2L, and LSX 376/454 crate engines. The included billet steel flywheel features a 168-tooth ring gear for proper starter engagement. The 1-1/8 x 26 spline disc hub pattern matches TREMEC T56, TR-6060, and Magnum transmissions with 26-spline input shafts.

    Whether you're running a supercharged swap in a classic muscle car or building a modern LS-powered street machine, the RXT1200 lets you drive to the track, rip off quarter-mile passes, and drive home without compromise. Made in the USA.

    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.
