what about the mcleod single disk?

 

well...

I have sleeperz28's old blower setup and the single disc Mcleod and its crap...the pressure plate is junk.........what a waist of money and time......as far as I see you have two choices

one would be the Twin Disc from Mcleod...I call it the do it once and be done with it route

or you could go with the spec stage 3 or 4.....I run the older stage 3 ceramic in my Ls1 ...its a good clutch and nothing that I have done to it has made it wence...but I dont know how long its going to hold up

 

Let's see, for $875 I got a Mcleod S/T You get a new flywheel far superior to stock, Stainless steel adjustable master cylinder (compared to a pastic stock POS) 2- clutch discs and floater plates, Far better pressure plate, Whats so expensive? I think it's a hell of a deal and this thing has absolutley no slippage whatsoever. Why waste your hard earned money on anything else

 

I have a street twin waiting to go in, I would either get a Spec stage 4 or if you are serious about using slicks and a power adder get the street twin.

 

$1200 for 4 clutches+ $900 for a Mcleod is alot more justifiable.

I have a twin in my car and I love it. The kit had great instructions, and had all the hardware.

There is one thing that will save a ton of hassels if you ge a steel clutch master cylinder. Instead of reusing the stock U bolt that holds the cylinder to the firewall, weld a pair of nuts onto the cylinder. Then you can use standard bolts to hold the cylinder on. It is much easier to position the cylinder when you don't have to line up the Ubolt.

i'm not 100% sure on this, but isn't it only like $400 to have the street twin rebuilt if you wear it out? like the others said, do it right the first time.

 

You can buy any part you need for the MCleod such as discs if you need to, So you don't have to buy the whole package again.

 

any opinions on the spec stage 3i? (sprung iron disk)

 

The new stage 3 is not iron but a ceramic/carbon mix. The stage 5 is a unsprung sintered iron disk I have the new stage 3 but it's siting in my room at home untill i can get home from school for more than a weekend to put it in

 

If you look at the power I produced that should say a lot for the street-twin.
Another small note:
I was talking with George down at Mcleod about a month ago and they were almost finished with a new disk that will bring the HP capabilities of the clutch to 1400hp. However, im not sure that LT1 block will handle that
I have had my street twin for 3 years now and have never had problems with it sliping

 

I debated this issue recently and conlcuded that the ST route was the 'final' solution, and I have no regrets.

Look for a GP on them, or contact ACA as mentioned earlier. I paid just under $800 for mine on a GP with them. I put in a Pro5.0 at the same time, and man, what a difference.

 

I contacted ACA and no reply I got.. I hate when companies dont answer

 

Keep trying. He's pretty reputable.

 

if you have AIM his s/n is LT1guy95

he has been more than nice to me and has GREAT prices. tell em ramairstyle00 sent ya

 

Every one uses the same pressure plate for their clutches.. Valeo is the only one thatmake's the reverse pull.... for our car's anyway.. TO have the twin rebuilt its 325+shipping.. SpEc sucks.. The Mcleod single disk is a great everyday value.. and is stronger than the stocker but won't handle lots of drag racing.. I spent 500 on the first spec and then few hunderd's more going back and forth w/ them and ups and stuff... bought a twin and never looked back.. you won't be dissappointed.. just beef up your rear and other things as they will shortly die a horrible death if your aggresive..
