Both seem really cheap.

Great deal, or crappy Ebay-Brand Product? You tell me.

well, we know the pressure plate is good. there is only one right?..

So I took a $100 gamble. I would have bought the clutch kit at autozone for $200 and thrown the disk away. but I took a chance. If I get it and it works out great, if it slips and sucks. well Im out the $100 disk. I will report back and we will know how junk it is.. lol


so, I bought the yellow one, I can clearly see that its sprung, where in the picture of the other on I cant tell, plus the person I bougth it form say 550hp and torque, the other one says 450hp 550 torque.. Well, its worth a shot. I will let you know!

For $50 more you can get the Kevlar version which may be a little more streetable.

Sorry, the link I posted was for information on the red clutch, not the yellow one.

I wouldn't imagine it would. I'm guessing it's just a little loud or rough.

I've found a couple threads on "Ebay Brand" Clutches, haven't found a real complaint yet. I'm probably going to check out the Mad Dog Kevlar clutch and see it if will hold on the new setup.

Good luck. Let me know how that clutch works out for you.

If you don't have any problems, I'll probably order one for myself after I get done putting in the new cam.

pretty much all of you guys should be fine with the mcleod single disc. If your over 450rwhp than i would get the twin disc.
I would not take my chances with a spec. I have heard and read too much negitive stuff to buy one.
Ram is another story tho.

You have two options for a 1993 LT4 if you chose to use one of our disc, I will give you the part numbers and the break down.

1) 381039 = This is comparable to an OE disc (we use it on our CF I) recommended for street use with mild upgrades.
2) 23381039 = This is our DFX disc (sprung hub 6 paddle disc) recommended for vehicles making between 450-900hp. This disc will not be as user friendly as the stock disc but will hold the power.

Please feel free to call to talk to one of our tech people or myself (800) 932-5882. Make sure you resurface the flywheel regardless of the clutch manufacture.

Best Regards,

Will Baty
