Yes, the steel flywheel is the way to go except for racing. Depending on your combo, the steel may also be better for drag use. Road race type use or very fast open road driving will certainly benefit from the lighter aluminum flywheel though.

i have the steel one cuz it is better for drag racing. Nice and streetable to me. I love the fact that the mcleod is rebuildable too.

 

Hey man just looking for an update on this as I'm looking for a good clutch and want to know what kind of customer service McLeod provided you. Thanks

 

Well, they never actually called me back when I called them, took literally months (I think a little over 3 months from when I got started) before I got a phone call out of the blue from what I would best describe as a receptionist/shipping type person who informed me that they will ship back my clutch when I pay for the rebuild (something just short of $500 I think it was), I called her extension, and after 5 tries and no call backs finally got a hold of her, explained the situation, she told me that she’d call me back later that day. Never called me back, called a few more times trying to find out what happened to it, clutch appeared on my door step, 2 weeks later, incomplete. I never did get my shipping cost refunded (check to see what 40lbs via fed ex ground costs, that was the method they told me to ship it).

I won’t get into what damage this thing ended up doing to the inside of my transmission…

 

Oh, and this was all during their advertizing campagn where they were trying to convince us that they’re the same great company but now that they’re owned by B&M they’ll have better customer service (I think that they had a blurb about it in every one of the mags, HR/PHR/CC
