Default Mcleod or Quicktime bellhousing (LT1)

Any experience with fitment of either of these? I posted this in the manual trans section but got no response from anyone that had actually used either piece.

Either the throw out bearing or the fork broke in mine and hearing the pieces rattling around in the stock housing made me think I should put an SFI piece in when it's apart.

I have a Mcleod Street Twin and was wondering if either of these would eliminate having to shorten the pivot and grind the fork like had to be done with my stock bellhousing.

I bought the McLeod bell and it's a nice heavy piece. My shift fork went bad and it tore my clutch into pieces and it's nice insurance for your feet.

McLeod SFI cert. here, no complaints the fit to the engine and trans was same as stock. Only thing I had to do was clearance some for the starter and I cut a little away from the bottom corner to allow easier acess to the drain plug on my 7qt Moroso oil pan (it comes straight out the back).

Have a McLeod sitting here waiting to be installed. I will know in a couple weeks how the fitment is. Only thing i have heard is some clearance may be needed for the starter.

I was just thinking about this and was going to ask you Josh if you had one of these... I'm young and I very much like my legs..

Yup, after seeing the pics of the carnage to Tanners car years ago I decided I liked my feet much more the a few hundred bucks!
