McLeod's new duel disk LS7 clutch
Hey guy's
I was at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona on Sat and stopped at the McLeod Clutch booth and talked with there rep for a while, he said that they have a new special duel disk clutch for the LS7 that has clamping power like you wouldn't believe and it's good for well over 800 HP, he said that clutch push-in pressure is so easy that a small woman could drive the car.
Do any of you guy's know about it or have any experience with this clutch?

Finally! First MGW comes with the new short shifter, now the McLeod is coming out with a dual disk. Looks like the ford boys are seeing the real potential of the C6 Z06! My mod list is just getting bigger and bigger!

How funny this came up. I was about to call McLeod tomorrow and order a clutch from them and now I read this. How lucky...
I wonder if they have something for 850-900 rwhp.

I have one for my camaro. It is a dual disk with aluminum flywheel.
It will hold up to 1000 hp. It comes with it's own adjustable master cylinder. Pedal pressure is the same as stock. This clutch is very grabby, and does not like to be slipped. That said, it is not hard to drive on the street once you are used to it. (Whenever I let someone new drive my car, they almost always stall it the first time)
Customer service is hard to get. I think they are just very busy, their main man, from what I hear really knows his stuff if you can get through to him.
I did have a strange problem, I parked my car outside for a few months ( without driving) and I could not disengage the clutch. I later dissasembled it, and found disk #1 had stuck to the flywheel! (rustlike bonding). Cleaned it up and it worked fine. Parked the car again for a few months and it happened again. This time I Just started the car in gear and moved it a bit and that broke it loose.
Overall, I would recommend them, since the 2 disk clutch is the way to go if you want high power, and streetability.

We talked about the grabby clutch thing on most high HP clutches and he said that they have and was showing me a duel disk clutch with a different type of new material that is supposed to stop that " either in or out " clutch syndrome.
I guess we will have to wait and see, I realize that he was a rep but he sure seemed sincere and enthusiastic on how well this new clutch worked with the LS7 engines.
