Description
When your build is pushing serious power through a manual transmission, you need a clutch that can handle the abuse without sacrificing street manners. The McLeod RXT1200 twin disc clutch kit delivers 1,200 crank horsepower capacity with a higher clamp load than standard RXT twin disc designs - a significant step up for builders who need maximum holding power without the aggressive pedal feel of a full-race unit.
The kit centers around twin ceramic-faced friction discs measuring 9.687 inches in diameter. This smaller disc diameter requires less diaphragm pressure than larger clutch designs, resulting in a moderate pedal effort that feels closer to stock while still delivering the aggressive bite needed for high-output engines. The ceramic facing material provides smooth engagement characteristics that make this setup viable for daily driving, stop-and-go traffic, and weekend track duty alike.
The included gold metric adapter ring is engineered for compatibility with 164T Ford modular (4.6L/5.0L/5.4L) and 168T GM LS-X flat-style flywheels. This configuration uses a 1-1/8 x 26 spline hub to match transmissions like the TREMEC TKX, TKO, and T56 Magnum series. Critical fitment note: this clutch will NOT work with OEM recessed or stepped flywheels found on LS2/LS3/LS7 applications - it requires a flat flywheel surface with a crank relief of 6.250 inches or smaller.
Applications include 1997-2013 GM LS-X engines and 1996-2017 Ford modular 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L powerplants. Proper break-in is critical: 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving with no drag racing or dyno tuning, ensuring 1,200-1,500 clutch actuations before any hard use. Made in the USA.
