new Mcleod rxt clutch is in !

[tommy s]

Ok rented my friends garage and put in my new clutch took about 8 hrs, it wasen't a cake walk ! Wow what a light pedal feel !! Do you really have to break it in 500 miles !!?? I wanna go drag racing lol ! Anyway it's been pouring rain the last 2 days so I'll have to wait to play with the car further

Did you also install their billet flywheel?

The car is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier to start going from a stop , the old clutch was so ON OR OFF !

 

[tommy s]

Did you also install their billet flywheel?

Yes , but not the heavy one, the stock weight one. Like I said before the light pedal pressure is unreal !! It's way more fun to drive !

I'm interested to see how much you like this clutch. I'm about to pull the trigger on one while my engine is getting done.

You lucky you know what. I have mine on the shelf waiting to install. Want to put it in but waiting for the stock one to give me problems. I thought it was going out about a week ago from the clutch smell I was getting but I guess it was just getting use to the new HP and gears lol. Sooner or later it will let go. Can't wait to have a reason to install the new clutch.

Can someone explain the difference between both fly wheels and which would be recomended and why?

I'm looking into this clutch mine is starting to act up after 20k miles and multiple passes at the track launching on sticky tires and powershifting every gear... Has def held up like a champ with the KB

I just put in the RXT. Yes, you have to break it in 500 miles and that is not highway miles. The breaking in will make the clutch operate much smoother. The flywheel setup is different than OEM and needs to be changed. I went to the track today and the clutch easily handled 2nd gear burnouts and was smooth and solid on the launch.

+1 I'm also curious about the two different flywheels that McLeod offers

 

[LITTLEMAGS]

I used a stock aluminum flywheel....

Actually there are three: heavy steel, lightened steel (similar weight to stock), and aluminum.

I went with the lightened steel, as I find the stock weight setup works fine as is. From discussions prior to my own purchase, "heavy" steel is great for drag racing and aluminum is great for road racing. Stock weight it is for me as I do only a little of the former and none of the latter.

My clutch went out last night on my first run.Any part numbers on this kit? And also, what was the price you paid for this kit?

 

[GT500RedStripe]

Get the RXT, not the RST. If you drive mostly on the street, get the lightened flywheel. This kit Includes the Mcleod RXT Clutch and Mcleod Lightened Steel Flywheel: McLeod Clutch and Flywheel Kit (street)

I put a steel flywheel in my 04 because everyone said it was better for drag racing. My foot! It hits the damn tires to hard and besides that both cars make well over 500ft lbs of torque before 3,000 rpm's easily. Last thing we need is something else to hit the tires harder. If my 6spd goes back in that flywheel will not be going in with it.

I also ran a RXT in my car and after 1 full season of powershifted drag racing it literally looked brand new when it was taken out.

That's the main reason we just got set up with Mcleod to sell their products.:rockon:

My car drove Honda'ish.

Check with D'Agostino. That's where I'm getting the RXT for my car and they had the best price I could find.

 

[Newbreedgt05]

This is great news! I just ordered the RXT with lighweight steel flywheel from lethal performance and should be installing it this week. So far, I haven't heard any complaints with this setup. Everyone loves it. Can't wait to install it! epper:
