Default Which clutch disc. Mcleod/Centerforce

I'm useing a stock reman. flywheel & aftermarket PP (LT4), i was told about these too discs., well theres 3, but the 1 Mcleod is a substitute. I've also heard of the Ram 300 series Part# 320-M thats 200.99, i think its also Organic.

Mcleod 261171 Organic (sub)
Mcleod 261871 Aluminum/Kevlar
Centerforce 381039 Organic

I have installed a dual friction in my 95, when it is running i can give you a update on how well it works, the pressure plate is identical to the one that i pulled, both say valeo and same numbers, but the centerforce has the weights that apply more pressure at high RPM.

Jegs is not charging me to send the Hays disc. back (sending me a call tag), plus there not charging me to ship the new disc., BUT the only drawback is they didn't have the Mcleod 261171 in stock, takes about 3 weeks to get, they did have the Centerforce 381039 in stock, so i ordered that one, hopefully it'll be fine for what i'm doing.
