Group buy here we come!
Wait so you finally got that whole issue straightened out?
Is the improper torque adjustments what was causing the fingers on the pressure plate to be uneven? I know you were not happy with the clutch for a while there and MeLeod wasn't being too cooperative if I remember correctly.
Their twin is the only one I would consider right now since it's reasonably priced and will work with my Fidanza flywheel.
Let me know man :beer:
Thanks
I appreciate the info man, now I'm back to looking into their twin again... Damn it lol
So did a shop do the install or was it you and your buddies? How long has the clutch been in there? I'd like to get a review on the clutch once you put a few thousand miles on it. I still am up in the air on what I'm going to do. I want a twin but I don't want the hassle with the install, this will be my third clutch in this car and I refuse to pull the tranny anymore after this one goes in. I'm done spending money on clutches.
I had a shop do the install. Needless to say the guy who installed it wasn't there long after he did.(I don't think he was let go as a direct result to my car though) The owner Dave really know his stuff about these and all Muscle Cars. He actually owns a 600 whp Eaton/boost only 04 Cobra, and has installed quite a few TD clutches. I put about 4,500 miles on it before I got it figured out.
What kind of coin to get it installed? :-D
and thanks for all the great info
The same as a regular clutch.
well I have put about 250 Miles on my new RXT. With my RST i was having similar problems as JROC. My impressions so far is that when this clutch is installed PROPERLY it is amazing! The car goes into every gear smoothly and the pedal feel is awesome. For a clutch that can take 1000+ Hp the streetability is unbelievable. The engagement is not on and off like a spec 3+ which is a big bonus for me because I hate that for everyday driving. I guess the next test is the track and to see how well it performs there.
my setup it is:
- RXT Street twin
- FRPP Aluminum flywheel
- 26 Spline upgrade
- TOB retainer
- McLeod clutch quadrant #1734
- UPR firewall adjuster
which is how much.,. I am still on my stocker :-D
Installed my RXT today. The directions seemed pretty easy. Torqued everything in a criss cross pattern to their specs. Also needed an adjustable pivot ball. I am taking her out tomorrow to see how it goes and do the final adjustments with the firewall adjuster.
Let me know how it work once you put a few hundred miles on it. How long did the install take you? Everything was pretty straight foreward for you as far as the install is concerned?
Thanks

Setting up the pivot ball.,.,, does that require removing trans again, or you will know it needs adjusting before reinstall of trans :shrug:
