That a good set up but I recomand the master from FUTRAL because it comes full assemble with ported lines and everthing you need. All you have to is take out your stock one and put this and it is fully adjustable and the price is $199. I recomand FUTRAL the are a badass company.

The Bolt on Slave section shows you the picture, but Mcleod still hasn't updated the Website with the number. It is available though when you call. The flat 'U' shaped peice of metal is a tool to release the quick coupler on the line where it connects to the slave.

It has been ten months and 10,000 miles on the All Mcleod Master and Slave. The Spec 3 has been great and really gets rid of all the slip the Z06 clutch had. With my Moser rear and Detroit Truetrac Differential, I've been banging gears hard with no problems. No crashed pedal syndrone and very precise shifts without all that sloppiness the stock clutch hydraulics have. Pedal effort is more than stock but not as hard as the Ram Clutch setup I had.

Time to update the old thread. Finally after six years the hydraulics need a rebuild. The master is apart and it looks like spring metal particles and of course the cup seal is worn out. I am rebuilding it with a new AN to quick coupler line. If it doesn't work I'll get the new McLeod master. I will soon send the McLeod street twin out and rebuild it along with the McLeod slave. I'll update on the condition of the individual parts. This is a long term test of the all McLeod clutch and hydraulics and I say it passed with flying colors. All street driving six years and at least 60,000 miles. Understandably not everyone gets this much out of a clutch. I never have and that's on F-bodies for over 26 years. ALL heavy street driving and yes I have had SPEC 3, Ram, and LUK (GM). The McLeod easily beats them all. The others only made it 30,000 miles. I considered the new McLeod twins but why change a good thing. By the way Billy is probably the best technical clutch contact there is.

^ I've had my McLeod master and clutch in since summer 2006 and haven't had one problem. Installed it back then and haven't touched it since. 
And are rebuild parts available for the Master if I would need them in the future?
As far as the stock masters letting air in, I was wondering how common/rare this is? My buddy's got an 02 SS that looses its pedal frequently. Wondering if the McLeod slave would work for him.

The master rebuild worked fine. A good bench bleed on it and I'm in business. I only made one mistake when I installed my slave, I over torqued the bleeder. I wanted to use my vacuum bleeder and clean out the slaves hydraulic fluid also. I need to finish my Z28 and pull the trans out of my WS6. When I send the Street Twin to McLeod I will buy a new bleed line. This time I want a longer bleed line that hangs out of the trans for access and of course torque it correctly. For anyone that has fooled around with the stock slave and master save yourself a lot of work and invest in good hydraulics. It's a lot of work to pull this stuff apart and I did many times before I bought quality stuff.

hey guys, quick question.
I bought a mcleod street pro a few months back P/N 75123. came with everything flywheel, bearing, slave, i bought a stock master. i have 1500 miles on the clutch right now. the clutch will slip when i downshift and get on it or in first when i get on it real hard from a dead stop. Had a mechanic friend of mine put it in but he is no clutch expert. I went to installuniversity.com and checked out thier writeup on a mcleod clutch install. they used a shim in thier install and was just wondering if i might need 1. the kit did not come with 1 and my mechanic said he measured and was good
My car is a stock 2001 WS6
Any thoughts?
