Default Mcloed twin disk is here!!!

All I can say is wow. This things looks heavy duty to say the least. I think they may have sent me a dump truck clutch the way this thing looks. I got the adj master put in and the clutch should go in this weekend. I'll post the results on this beast.

Is it harder to install the twin disk? I was really wanting one of these clutches cause people say no chatter and great hold but If its a pain to install compared to others I'll probably skip it.

No it's not hard to install, it comes assembled with the shims in the right place so when you take it apart to install just reassemble the same way. Get it and you'll love it.

The clutch isn't the pain it's puting the trans back in which would be the same as any clutch install and the m/c thats a pain, I don't think that clutch was any tougher to put in than any other clutch I've ever installed.JMO

I have heard horror stories about the M/C as well. Was this redesigned at all to make it easier to bleed?

Not to bleed because the internals are the same it's the housing that different, instead of try to line up the (u) bolt the housing is threaded so you can use bolt from under the dash and just bolt it up.
