Default I have went through 2 mcleod clutchs now going to a specs what stage shoud I get..

I have went through 2 mcleod twin disk clutches so I am giving up. I am going to a specs clutch what stage do I need. I do a lot of drag racing and but more street driving and dont want to put another clutch in ever lol... is a stage 3 strong enough or should I go to 4 or 5.. my car dynoed at 518rwhp so I need one that is strong...

dude,try the ram 910. i had 4 clutches,my ram is the best so far.it has pulled my front tires off the ground about 40 times,and it still feels great.it dont feel much more then stock,pedle is not too stiff,no chatter w/3.73's,it been smooth,holds like a ***** and it has good street manners too. its really been an awsome clutch,i got the clutch,press-plate,flywheel and alig-tool for like $700. from allen at FUTURAL MOTORSPORTS. take alook,whatever clutch you choose,goodluck bro.

I just ordered the spec stage 3i.It's rated for 700 fttq. My stock clutch is still holding up to 1.62 or better 60ft times.This run here is with the stock clutch.But from what I here the spec 3i is the way to go.Make sure it's the ( i ) series ftp://68.194.14.214/files/racing_vid...2TransAmWS6LS1

don't go with the spec stage 3. go with the spec stage 4. i have a spec stage 4 in my everyday car and it chattered for about 45 miles then it went away! its very cool and holds like a ****. i can wind it up and pop the clutch in 3rd gear while om going about 35 and blow the tires off

I cant figure these clutches out. I have a McLeod Rev Lok II and pull my wheels and race weekly at the track. Hundreds of passes and drive it everyday. Zero problems, But, several of my racing buddies have had issues with this clutch. Go figure!

Hey VIPER...that pedal on the far laeft is the clutch pedal! Your best bet would be to push that to the floor when you want to change gears. When the shifter makes that really loud noise like you dropped a few small stones into a blender...thats BAD!

I think I know where the clutch is.... and I know how to drive.. I never missed one gear and the trasmission never made any noises I was going from 3 or 4 when it went out..

I was just kidding! Maybe you should try a RAM 910 VDS clutch.
