Default Changing a Clutch

I have a 2016 Z and I'm considering a McLeod RTX clutch replacement as I continue to add more HP . Does anyone know if it is compatible with the rev match and traction control? Any help is appreciated.

I can't see how changing the clutch would have any effect on those items... they work based on sensors and electronics. The only thing that messes up the traction control is the wrong height ratio between the front and rear tires which causes different rotation speeds, IE: a wheel is spinning too fast. The clutch engagement is purely hydraulic, the only sensor involved (that I know of) is the same safety switch that monitors pedal position during engine start, IE: rev match knows when you push the pedal down.

I have the Mantec triple disk on an 1100+ wheel horse build, rev match, traction control, active handling, zero-lift shift, all work as spec. I would recommend a 4' speed bleeder line if you are doing a clutch install. Trust me well worth it.
