Installing - Twin Disk Clutch STEP by STEP - McLeod RXT 1200

[@AdzeMartin]

I bought this RXT1200 clutch for my GT500 5.8L 2013, but the slave cylinder doesnt work, it burst,, it’s a OEM new one, do I need a different one for this clutch?

[@landenbeard2091]

You need a billet slave like Tilton or McLeod

Thanks for the vid! About how long did it take to complete the job? I have a 13 Boss 302 that I'm planning to install the RST clutch in. Fortunate to have access to a lift, so that should make it a tad easier. 😎. Look forward to seeing your MT82 removal and install guide

[@AlphaX13]

Having a full lift definitely makes the job easier, I would carve out at least 1-2 days for the complete removal and install. The complete guide is out now. As long as you stay organized and don’t mind scratching your hands up a bit, you should have no issues. Best of luck.

@@AlphaX13 Thanks. Where did you post your guide?

did you guys installed a new flywheel?

[@AlphaX13]

Yes the flywheel that came with the clutch kit was installed.

[@neitzelm1]

I see some drilled holes on the flywheel -- did it come balanced or did you have to take it to a machine shop?

[@AlphaX13]

During the install process you shouldn’t have to do anything not mentioned in the video. What you see in the video is how the clutch comes, hope this helped.

[@OgTheRealOne]

The instructions say the flywheel and pressure plate are recommended to be balanced by a machine shop. Why this isn’t done from manufacturer, is beyond me.

Does it help to prevent the lock when changing at high rpm ?

[@AlphaX13]

There could be a few different reasons you're having lock-out issues at higher RPM, but the clutch wouldn't be the first thing I try to change unless you have an excessive amount of miles on it. Upgrading your clutch line is cheaper and significantly easier, which is what I would try first along with flushing the brake fluid. If you're still running the stock shifter, it may be beneficial to look at upgrading that as well. I do have a video out comparing a few popular short-throw shifters. Of course, this is just what I would do, and I'm just offering my opinion. Hope I could help!
