Default mc leod clutch sqweels??????

i just installed a mc leod clutch w/ an adjustable master slave cylinder. its still in the breakin period (about 120 miles on it) and when i engage the clutch at low rpm's it doesnt chatter barely at all, but makes a lond sqeeling sound. but when i engage the clutch at higher rpm's it chatters a lil bit w/ no sqeel. is this normal?? im just a lil worried.

Mine squeels like a bitch too, don't know what it is, but if urs is a rev-lok (like mine), they suck ***!!! I cracked a revised one, and now have another one in there that they sent me and it's already goin south (or at least I think it is, not sure if it's the clutch or the hydraulics) after not even 3,000 miles! This is why i'm swappin to a Turbo 400, can't stand all the clutch problems with these T-56's!

What kind of Mcleod clutch do you have? My Street twin doesn't make any noise or chatter.

It's normal for the sintered iron clutches to squeel a little bit, especially when they're cold. Just give it some hell and it will quiet down a bit. (The ceramic clutches do this during break in as well.)

Juiced LS1 is correct. All of the sintered iron disks do make this noise. It is nothing to worry about and it didn't bother me after a few miles.

My spec 5 is loud as hell. I get kind of pissed off in traffic. It does seem to be lessening though as I only have a couple hundred miles on it.

My Mc Leod Rev-Lok clutch has squealed like a stuck pig from day one. Now with 5000 miles I just limped the car home. The clutch drove me crazy and now it is broken. I think the pressure plates collaped. Now instead of finishing my N20 install and a tune I get to spend alot of money on my third clutch in 14000 miles.

Over 200 runs at the track and my Mcleod is still holding strong.
