FS: McLeod street twin disk clutch w/ aluminum flywheel $800
SOLD
I'm selling the McLeod street twin out of my 1991. It's got about 4,000 miles on it. I love the clutch to death, but it's just too brutal on the rest of my drive train at the track. A car with more power (I only have about 270 RWHP) would be much better off than I am with this unit.
The clutch is great for street driving, it really is 90% as streetable as the stocker. In my car, the set-up is only about 10% louder than the stock dual mass, but it doesn't clank while idling in neutral like my stock clutch did. Right now, the clutch is still in the car, if you are interested in buying it, you're more than welcome to come drive the car. I live in Raleigh, NC. I can pull it out in a few hours, and it will ship 1 day after the payment is received.
Here's a long thread I did when I was installing it. It details the install process and gives my first impressions of the unit:

You'll get:
The aluminum flywheel
The McLeod twin disks and floater plate
The McLeod flywheel
The McLeod master cylinder
I'll be sure to package everything in the exact order that it needs to go back together in, so be sure to install it the same way it comes out of the box. There are some shims that need to go back in the exact same place, so this is a pretty critical step.
The clutch drives awesome, has no chatter, and really is a breeze to drive on the street. It's got a nice 2-3 inch area where it slips, it's not like other high horse power clutches that are either ON or OFF.
Like I said though, at the drag strip, it will find your next weakest link. It would be possible to slip the clutch at the line and develop some really great times without brutalizing the rest of the car, but I've never really put the time into trying that. I'm more of a, "Put slicks on it and drop the clutch" kind of guy. That's what I've been doing, and it is just tearing up too much drive train stuff.
This would be an awesome clutch for a road race car, or someone with a high horse power street car that doesn't see much drag strip time. It makes a great drag strip clutch as well, but you'll need to beef up the rest of the drivetrain if you plan on just running up the tach and dropping the hammer.
Here's McLeod's information on the clutch:
http://www.mcleodind.com/downloads/p...DFs/Page_6.pdf
It's a PDF, so give it a minute to load, and you have to use Internet Explorer. For some reason it won't open with Firefox.
I don't remember exactly what I paid for the clutch, but I know it was over $1200. I'd like to get $800 for it.

I have to pass on this deal due to fact my engine going back in this weekend and have to use the clutch that I right now. I don't have to time to wait to trade out. Too bad this didn't happen atleast a week earlier. Here is a bump for you Josh.

How about 800.00 +1/2 shipping? assuming clutch is in good useable condition when removed.
