It's not as bad as people think. Really it engages pretty smooth. I think McLeod revised the design of it here not too long ago so it is not as bad as some of the older ones. I can tell you this also...it engaged much smoother than any SPEC stage 3 clutch I have driven.

It will work fine, but why the aluminium fly wheel? They are not strong enough for drag racing! If you are only going to daily drive, and road race you will be fine, I hope you don't plan on drag racing.

The car is an autox car that goes to the strip once a month or so for fun. The clutch came with the alum flywheel as I got it used from someone who switched to an auto tranny it has very low mileage

That flywheel should be good for autoX, and OK for street.

How much does the whole stock pp, flywheel, and clutch disc weigh verses the mcleod twin disk in both steel and aluminum?

My thinking is that the steel version is actually heavier than stock because of the two discs and the floater.
