Looking to buy a new clutch, thinking of the McLeod package and I am wondering what others think I should go with. I have simple bolt ons for now exhaust and lid mainly. but I will be doing gears, headers and a cam in the future.

So should i go with a single disc set up or the twin disc set up????? I am going with the steel flywheel if this helps. Also, how streetable are both of these? Also, organic/organic or kevlar/organic??? Thanks in advance for all input.

I would recommend a star spec stage 2 or 3 setup. And its also about half the price.

if you can affordit

I run the Kevlar/Organic.Drives like stock(no chatter at all) and holds my ET streets no problem at the track.

I haven't driven a car yet with a Spec clutch that didn't chatter on soft launch.

Slowhawk, Are you running the single disc or the twin disc set up?

like jaberwaki said if you can afford it get the twins.will handle anything you can throw at it and will beg for more.it sucks on stop and go traffic though.

i would stay away from the star spec.
it was a piece of junk, after 8k miles, it was smearing, had holding problems, when i would get on it, took it out and you could see it was wasted.

Ive swithed to the Mcloud/ram combo and it holds and works much better. the one i have can hold 6130/402 has worked with 700rwhp cars so it should work for me. and it only costed $315 (with out fly wheel) at detroit speedworks.

I Agree with him. Stay away from the SPEC. My first one blew after 900 miles and 20 1/4mile runs and the 2nd one now is causing me problems after only 1000miles and my car is in the shop right now. I paid $1200 soo far for labor. I wanted to get something cheap and it ended up costing me more than a Twin Disk Mcleod clutch that i could have got from the begining. Just go with the best and save money on the long run. Im looking for a clutch my self now and soo far its either the single Mcleod or Clutch Masters.

another vote for the Mcleod SDK. The Mcleod's are a little on the pricey side, but I think you get what you pay for. The SDK is a great street/strip clutch. I haven't had any slipping issue with it yet. Plus it's barely noticable around town as being aggressive. As my setup gets more aggressive I might have to upgrade to the twin disk, but I'm really happy with the McLeod product and their customer service is top notch.

My spec S3 lasted for 40K miles of hard driving. No real hard drag launches, but hard highway driving. I went to the RAM 402/6130 clutch becasue I plan on hitting the track a little more often now.

I will add a vote for the McLeod street twin. I've gone through a centerforce(POS) a McLeod single disc(not enough) and then the street twin. I have put down over 820 rwhp and 940 rwtq with my LS1 and the clutch loves it. I have run a 9.94 run on it also. I launch the hell out of it and it is also great on the street.

Also my buddy, Taner has pulled a 9.60 with his in his LT1 and also some 1.2x-1.3x 60' passes.

So we have a bit of experience with these babies.

Good luck with your decision. My advice is to spend the money once and get the big boy.

Yet another vote for the McLeod single disk. I got the kevlar/organic version and it has been awesome. No chatter whatsoever and a near-stock pedal feel. It was SUPER stiff for the first 100 or so shifts, but has loosened up quite a bit to feel like stock....but instead of slipping under WOT, it grabs like a mother. I need to re-adjust the master since the clutch engagement point has been steadily moving away from the floor during the break-in. No complaints about this unit.... except it is a bit on the pricey side.

My single/kevlar puts rubber on the road in 4th. Never chattered at all. I don't think it is exspensive at all when you consider all that you get. If the SPEC's came with the flywheel and a billet adj. master cylinder, they'd cost more too. I know guys that have been runnin low 11's with 1.5-1.6 60's on ET streets for several years. This clutch can take some abuse.

Anyone care to give me a 4 years later update on what was said throughout this thread, i'm trying to decide on a clutch set up this season finally and i'm liking what everyone has said about McLeod.

McLeod just came out with a new dual disk line. It's called the RST & RXT, see link. They will handle 800 and 1000 hp respectively. You can use your existing flywheel. Price for the RST is around $675...

Do you know any vendors who carry it? I'm in the market for a new clutch.
