I just recently had an issue with McLeod....Not the twin disk though....

They have a habit of making the discs TOO THICK.Mine was 10 thousandths too thick and it ran, but I couldn't get into reverse, getting the car in gear was a pain, and so on.

When the disc is too thick, the clutch remains partially engaged and the starter really feels it.

I'd inspect the disk and measure it.

Just my two cents.

Take the car out of gear and try to start it. That will take the clutch out of play. If it starts then there's a problem with the clutch.

Re: installed twin disk and now car won't turn over

in a twin the top disk which has the Marcel in it should be no thicker than
.340 but usually between .325 and .330. any more than that and you'll have problems.

Now the bottom disk is a flat design and those should come in between .300 and .315 ish anything more and you've got problems. Pull the disks and check them with a dial caliper. if you have a problem call Don in reworks.
714 630 2764 ext 234. you may be able to get them replaced if there to thick.

The one bolt that goes into the bellhousing was hitting the presure plate. Luckily there was no damage since the bolt was already jammed up agaist it keeping everything from turning over. All the bolts are the factory bolts but the one is just a 1/4" to long

Are you sure you didn't install a trans bolt in place of a bellhousing bolt?

The trans bolts are about a 1/4 or 1/2 inch longer if I am not mistaken.
