New McLeod clutch is sweet!
I saw a lot of polls for clutches [b]ut none of them listed McLeod. If you're looking for a clutch, I'm really happy with my new McLeod. I could tell right away that it was not a stock clutch from the stiffer feel, but I don't even notice it now, so I guess it wasn't that big a difference.
I've treated her right for 250 miles, and it's feeling silky smooth again. I couldn't resist the temptation to test her out once with a 2000 rpm launch on g-force street tires: 1st and 2nd totally spinning, still spinning but started to hook in third with some fish tailing, and finally hooked up good after chirping 4th. This clutch holds great, and I'm going to need some DRs soon!
Now we'll see how long she lasts; I'm going to baby her again for another 250 miles, and then get the g-force DRs.

glad to hear your happy with the clutch. i got the same one, twin disc, and so far im loving it. ive got 308 miles on it and there is no chatter and engagement is shorter than stock. definately stiffer but right around 200 miles it loosened up some and is not noticable at all. havnt ripped into it yet but i think im going to need a T56 rebuild, third gear pops out into neautral. i have to hold it into place when driving. when i hit 500 miles i'll let you know what i think. everyone that has the twin disc loves it, thats what made me want to get it, plus i need something that is going to handle some gas!

I definitely wanted the steel flywheel for traffic in No. VA...
