[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 8173852, member: 51847"] The most important part is the install from what I've been told. McLeod will tell you that too. If you think you know what your doing, and don't read the direction, and install it exactly as they say then you run a good chance of messing something up. With a TD you have a lot less room for error. Lets make an assumption that with a single disk clutch you have 1/2" clearance between everything so that leaves you a good bit of adjustment. Now add an extra disk and a friction plate and you may only have 1/8" clearance or adjustment. Thats a big difference. Again those number mean nothing other than me making an example. McLeod says the two most common problems people make when installing one of their new TD is they either put the friction plate on wrong or they don't torque the pressure plate down properly. Lee(McLeods Mustang expert) told me that on the phone, and it turned out that my pressure plate wasn't torqued down evenly, and basically only half my clutch was being used. If it was a single disk clutch it would of probably worked fine like it was. Now that everything is torqued down to the specs they give you it work perfectly fine. I'm not trying to discurage anyone from getting a TD. I love mine. I'm just trying to save y'all some heartache by telling to do exactly what the direction. Torque everything down to specs and everything. The guy who installed my clutch no longer works at the shop I use, but we had the tranny out of the car on 4 seperate occations after the install before we found out what the problem was, and it was a really simple/stupid problem. If you have everything installed and adjusted correctly then yeah, their great, kickass clutches that work amazingly well. BTW with a McLeod RST/RXT your more than likely going to need an Adjustable Pivot Ball. My car ended up needing one. [/QUOTE]
