mcleod clutch burned up in 800 miles this weekend i went to more performance in charlotte n.c. to have my tranny checked out.i ran 4 passes at an 1/8 track with no slippage to my knowledge and suddenly the clutch starts smoking and will not go in 2nd gear.
we pulled the mcleod street twin and it was toast.all plates and even the flywheel are burned to a crisp with all this dust inside,the car has been babyed for 1st 1000 miles except for the passes x4 that equals only 24
secs of hard running,these clutches are suppossed to hold a 1000 HP,my car dynoed just 454 at the wheels with the cutouts closed,,,,,so what went wrong here????????????????piece of junk for a clutch????,,bad install,,,TEA done my install in akron ohio,???any suggestions
anyway more performance so far have done a great job my car,we put a street twin clutch back in with kevlar and ceramic organic on two plates .its a new clutch out by carolina clutch and tom at the company gave me a no hassel warrenty ,if my car eats this one he'll replace it for free
look at mcleods warrenty ,,virtually its nonexistant
the guys at more performance told me they've had lots of trouble from mcleods street twin,and very hard to adjust right.
i think the mcleod is junk!!!!!i'm boxing it up and let them see what may have happened if it s only good for 800 miles they can keep it
