Its time for a clutch what do you guys think the Mcleod twin disk or Spec Stage 3.
I guess I wasnt aware of that toofast. Im not a manual transmission guru by any stretch, can you fill us in on just how the unsprung McLoed isnt good for the tranny?Originally posted by toofast4u
The problem with the McLeod twin disk is that it is not sprung which is not good for your transmission. The Centerforce DF is getting good reviews by the high HP guys currently.

Ok so the issue is that its simply grabbing to well and blasting that instantaneous TQ into the driveline. Couple that with gooey tires, VHT and a heavy car and stuff breaks. Im about down for serious power mods (for this year ) and am concentrating on beefing up driveline(bushings, input shaft, lvl 5 halfshaft kit etc) and as much as I like to race, I dont think my car will be running slicks, I like a car that can handle like its on rails but still run a repectable quarter mile and get me to and from the track. Im thinking that if im not running slicks the McLeod (or any other grippy unsprung clutch for that matter) will be fine...or did I musunderstand something along the way?Originally posted by toofast4u
Hammer and the other transmission guys were talking about it on svtsnake.com. The problem as I understand it basically comes down to shock. The unsprung clutch does not provide any give to absorb the shock of going into gear and it sounds like the fact that they McLeod has ferocious grip doesn't help the matter. Clutches that are sprung absorb some of the shock of going into gear.
From what I heard xplicits car isnt responding well to the clutch. He has lots of tranny noises. What toofast4u said about the mcleod doing to a tranny seems to be the problem with xplicits car and maybe more. I hope its nothing serious. Hes a great guy with a great looking car but he hasnt really been posting anymore.Originally posted by Rev
toofast4u how is Xplicits car holding up, isn't he running Hammers old clutch?

We have a couple local guys here running the mcleod that I am aware of, ones a 97 cobra totally built (600hp) with a viperspec T56 and he open tracks and all sorts of stuff, he likes the clutch. Another is a 900+rwhp TT camaro and he claims car is as streetable as ever. :shrug:Originally posted by Dana
An unsprung disk also makes regular street driving much more of a challenge. Smooth gradual takes off are not impossible, but are a lot of work...
