I ordered up a new Mcleod RXT Twin Disc, 26 spline input shaft, Throw Out Bearing Retainer Sleeve, FRPP Throw Out Bearing, Pilot Bearing, etc... from Lethal Performance. :rockon:

Pulled the trans out yesterday to get things ready.

good choice. i have the rxt which holds a bit more power but clutch effort is so easy. i have a fidanza aluminum flywheel and fore quadrant.

Your Cobra is always nice...even under the knife! :D
Thanks. :beer:

Nice, it's sickening how nice your Terminator is. Subscribing...
:beer:

Nice. I'll be placing my order for the same items Monday.
Awesome. I'm sure you will be happy with it.

looks like fun. Your car is looking great like always,
Thanks Carlos. :beer:

Let me know what you think. I am going with that clutch as well.
Will do Marc.

Good to hear. Thanks for the info. :beer:

I call BS.

You don't install anything that can't be polished or waxed........
:lol::lol: Give me a shout tomorrow if you get a chance.

Yeah, I figured the RST holds 800 HP. The T56 is only rated to like 450 anyway. I see no use going RXT unless all I did was go to the track and make pass after pass. My car see's street duty only so the driveability means everything to me. I hope it is as nice as everyone says it is.

Actually it is the RXT with the lightened steel flywheel that I am going to get.
That sounds like a good track combo. The steel flwywheel would help with inertia.

I got the clutch and flywheel removed and all looked great surprisingly.

Here's a quick pic of the stock 10 spline input shaft that will be going away in favor of the 26 spline.

And the stock clutch wich served it's duty well.

Good luck with the clutch install and all the other goodies! Your car is by far the cleanest Cobra I've ever seen. Flat out awesome. Great job.
