McLeod said they have never heard of anyone doing this. I'm curious how many people have had it happen

 

I'm starting to twist my output shaft... don't know about my input though.

 

the original's did that.. but then they widened the hub on the disk's which fixed the issue.. i've used my twin for on/off now for about 4 yrs.. and no issues.. poor poor driveshaft though

 

I had an early Street Twin. Came out of an 800HP LT1. He never had an problem with the input shaft (I still have his tranny in my garage), and I never had a problem for the time I ran it in my setup.

 

Well I need someone to tell me where Im screwin the pooch

 

how many time's have you screwed up the shaft? maybe your shaft was a lil chewed to begin with?

 

That's what I figured broke the first shaft; lots of racing and 170k miles. But the second tranny I had completely rebuilt <6 months ago and I was out of the state and country for 3 of those months. Only trashed two so far but I dont feel confident in Mcleod anymore. I may sell it and go with a Spec or something

 

i retract my previosu statement...

i just killed my input shaft.... i have one of the earlier ones though

 

Well due to circumstances I had to put the street twin back in after they rebuilt it and it wasnt shimmed right. It will barely go into reverse and is slipping already after break-in. I'm done with Mcleod. Ive got a Spec flywheel on order and Im putting in the 3+

 

I'm still running an original design ST with no issues.

 

how many miles? and from what i'm hearing it's hit or miss.

pictures of my damage
damaged input shaft

stripped hub splines

 

Thats exactly what mine looked like

 

Danhr,
Is it back together yet? Just thought I would see how it went since I talked to you last Saturday.

 

nope... clutch got sent out to mcleod. I asked them to rebuild my clutch with the new, stronger hubs, and possibly give me some sort of compensation for the damage done to my input shaft. My car only has bolt ons, so has ~300 hp, which is considerably less than the 1200 hp rating from mcleod, so it is my belief that I was sold faulty equipment. I will post an update when i get one. All I can say is that if mcleod doesn't hook me up w/ ATLEAST a new clutch, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

and where did you talk to me at? you name isn't ringing a bell?

 

I was at JJ's helping you take your harmonic balancer off.
