Mcleoud or Textrilla?
TEXTRALIA FTW...!! You will not be disapointed. I've had the Twin Disc McCleod and Textralia Exo-Skel. No comparision as far as street manners...I found the limits of the Exo-Skel so Pete's got me into their triple disc. I'll update later...
When I swapped in a Textralia I installed a new OEM MC and slave. Shifting was great for the first 1000miles. Afterwards, it became very difficult for anything above 4K RPMs. Even gettting it into reverse at idle was difficult
Swapped in a McLeod MC and shifting is great about 19 out of 20 times. Now the clutch sticks to the floor occasionally. Its random, sometimes in stop and go traffic, sometimes when racing. (when I installed the clutch there was no info regarding the mcleod/textralia issue several months ago)
So WTF do I do? OEM MC/Slave with Textralia and no shifting above 4K. McLeod MC and Textralia sometimes the pedal doesnt return. The only option left is McLeod clutch. I cant keep throwing money at the clutch.
If anyone has advice, post it up. I'm at a dead end. Why is the Mcleod sticking sometimes? Its not even 500 miles on it yet.

Sounds like you did not bleed your hydraulics corectly. The reason you have the clutch sticking to the floor is that the McLeod is not designed for a Textralia clutch. We used one in Tommy's car. On the first pass in a properly bled system the clutch stuck to the floor every time. In addition, it can damage the clutch as it causes overtravel on the pressure plate fingers, and casues the clutch to go inverted. You need to get that McLeod out, and get a properly bled stock master back in there.

I have a McLeod Twin and absolutley LOVE IT. I can powershift at 6500rpms and the street driveability is like stock. I too, have an aluminum flywheel and it is definitely different (better).
I however DO NOT like my master cylinder. And i think i'll be putting my OEM back in.

Is there any hope for that in the future?

if someone could tell me the stock bore size and stock pedal stroke, we could calculate the volume of fluid moved by a stock setup..
and then calculate out the allowable stroke of the McLeod unit....
(also, it would help me since im a non-stock app....

i'll check those out, thanks

When I first put the clutch in... times in sig.
