Re: McLeod Street Twin Dual-Disk Clutch as a daily driver question. Had mine for a year, make sure you get the adj. master cyl. from Mcleod and doing the drill mod first otherwise you will end up blowing a seal in your throw out bearing. Also expect to desintegrate a few 10 bolts as this clutch has zero slip. The pedal pressure is a lot firmer but to my liking, that stock set up feels feminine. I was on the side of the road twice. Once my clutch linkage was ripped in half and the pedal was stock to the floor. The other time I had a leak in the slave/throwout bearing and I couldnt engage any gears. I have the steel flywheel and noticed that when I transition from gear to gear the rpms jump about 500-1k rpm. But I chose the steel over the aluminum as I hear that it is more durable. Cheaper too. The set up I have now seems solid.

Re: McLeod Street Twin Dual-Disk Clutch as a daily driver question. Got one also, but have only had it a few days. I have found that you can do a more gentle first gear engagement than I expected, which makes the clutch very driveable for parking/traffic/general manuvering.
If you let the clutch out fast in any gear, the thing GRABS and does not slip. You can definitely feel it engage. The downside of this is that you will need a beefy driveline. Someone once posted that this clutch will find the weakest point in your driveline and break it if it isn't strong enough. I believe it <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

Re: McLeod Street Twin Dual-Disk Clutch as a daily driver question. yeah, it will definitly break any weak drivetrain parts. never broke a single drivetrain peice till i put the ST in, then the 2nd day i had it the tranny mount broke, i killed 5 10 bolts with some lame 225/50-15 road huggers, broke an LS1 driveshaft on my first street twin launch on slicks, and broke 2 aftermarket torque arms, one of them on plain radials
