Description
When your GM V8 build crosses into serious horsepower territory, your stock single-disc clutch becomes the weak link. The McLeod RST twin disc clutch kit solves that problem with 800 horsepower capacity while keeping pedal effort lighter than stock and engagement smooth enough for daily driving. This economically priced twin disc setup delivers the holding power of a race clutch without the leg-burning pedal pressure or on/off engagement that makes stop-and-go traffic miserable.
The RST design distributes clamping load across two 9-11/16in organic friction discs instead of one larger single disc. This twin-disc approach reduces rotating mass for quicker revs while providing massive torque capacity and exceptional release qualities. The Blanchard-ground floater plate features multiple straps specifically engineered to reduce noise for street use - you get race-level holding power without the rattle and chatter common to competition clutches.
The CNC-machined and anodized adapter ring mounts directly to your existing large-diameter flywheel with 166 or 168-tooth ring gear, eliminating the cost of a new flywheel. Compatible clutch bolt patterns include 11-5/8in equal, 11in long, 11-5/12in long, and 12-3/8in equal configurations. This kit fits 1955-1985 Chevy V8 and 1959-1979 BOP V8 applications using TR4050 or Muncie transmissions with 1-1/8in x 10 spline input shafts.
Important: This clutch is designed exclusively for high-horsepower street use and is not intended for competition environments. Proper flywheel resurfacing with a coarse stone-ground texture is critical to prevent clutch chatter. McLeod recommends 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving for break-in before any spirited driving. Pilot bearing and throwout bearing not included - inspect and replace these components during installation. Made in the USA and backed by McLeod's 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
