Lethal Performance Tech Tips: McLeod Racing Clutch Kits Explained!

On an almost daily basis we are asked "Which McLeod clutch kit should I get?!" Guys with GT500s, supercharged Mustang GTs & many others sometimes are torn on which setup is the right one for their application.
Jared, our head honcho, wanted to take some time and go over the McLeod RST and RXT clutch kits & which part #s you will need for YOUR setup, including the corresponding slave cylinders and even guys with a TR6060 swap.

Haha, it’s ironic that I came back to this video. I installed a RST Clutch in my 700whp 5.0 and I burned it up from doing a lot of dig racing. Thought my transmission went out, but after doing some research, it was in fact the clutch :(

[@joeyanderson1263]

I have a 2010 Camaro ss 610 rwhp Had a mcleod Rst it burnt up just installed a mcleod rxt with a ram throw out bearing haven't drive it 50 miles yet still breaking it in and still have clutch chatter cant wait until I can do pulls after the 500 mile break in😆😆😆

[@scottjuly79]

Can the RST be upgraded simply by replacing the organic discs with ceramic discs from the RXT ???

[@thomasrouh2258]

Great video.!!!!!

[@Lethalcamp]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

7:25 for 05-17 Mustang GT

[@stupidfastgt5801]

Excellent Video, exact info i was looking for. How many hours for install in my 2019 mustang gt?

[@Lethalcamp]

stupidfast GT 3-4 hour install time for an experienced mechanic with the proper tools and a lift.

[@jawaunb8405]

Goooooooollllllld!!!!!! 😂 Babababababababababababa!!!!!!!💀💀🤣😂

[@carlmazziotti221]

So do i have to have the dealership run a TSB on my 07 GT500 before i order parts to see if they did the upgraded TO Bearing? Do they record that? Im not the original owner.

2011-14 Mustang 3.7 MT82....600whp/600tq recommendations?

[@chicagotypewriter11]

Why did my rst "power pack" from lmr come with no gold plate for my 17 gt? It's in the car operating what I believe is normally, just curious

[@mariotoledo6658]

A whole kit for a 10-14 can be use in a 07-09 with right flywheel?

[@Lethalcamp]

Mario Toledo the 10+ specific kit 6975-07M will not work with a factory 07-09 flywheel. You’d need a 10+ OEM replacement flywheel and the short bearing to make it work in an 07-09.

[@scottross8854]

Just had the RXT installed on my 2015 GT with a Kenne Bell supercharger. I have to get 1000-1200 clutch cycles b4 I can get on the Kenne Bell, any dyno's, burn outs etc. Reading to disengage my traction control when breaking in?

[@speedrapesme]

so the rst can be beatin on? more for daily driving, even tho it holds 700 wheel? and is a twin disc? what?

[@Lethalcamp]

5LToro El Toro the rst although having a high HP rating isn’t designed to handle the abuse and heat that the clutch will see at the dragstrip. It will eventually fail and won’t be covered under warranty. If you plan on taking the car to the strip an RXT is what we recommend. Hope that helps.

[@speedrapesme]

Lethal Performance iam still on stock transmission 2014 mt82, what if i wanna make around 550 wheel, hardly ever take it to the drag strip, but sometimes wants to do some roll racing or a about 3/4 digs a month approximately lol

[@negativesplits06]

5LToro El Toro The only reason I’m not buying a RXT is because it will grenade a stock MT82. I opted for the RST even though I do plan on beating it @ the strip with a sticky tire. If it goes out, then time for a 6r80 swap lol.

[@true5.012]

El Coyote I’m doing the same thing but if it blows I’m gonna get either a built mt82 or a t56

[@salmanalajmi6740]

I have a mcleod singel disck .. what baering i should use ?

[@Lethalcamp]

It depends on what car it's being used in and what transmission you have. With a little more info we can recommend the proper bearing for you. Thanks!

[@salmanalajmi6740]

@@Lethalcamp street and strip ( mt-82)

[@Lethalcamp]

@@salmanalajmi6740 You want to use a new Ford OEM bearing which we list on the site.

[@domenicdandrea5694]

I have a Mcloed, RXT with flywheel, TOB and clutch line. Is it normal to get a rattle at idle? it goes away when you press the clutch

[@Lethalcamp]

Nice setup! Yes that is normal for a twin disc setup.

[@Itsjustac6]

I'm looking for a clutch with a slave cylinder for a 2005 Corvette c6

[@Itsjustac6]

What do you recommend me??

[@foxmen546]

Do we need a tune when changing it out?

[@Lethalcamp]

No tune is needed for a clutch swap however you will need to to a crank relearn with a device after the swap is done. This is required for most clutch swaps to prevent any codes from being thrown. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

[@Airman..]

Tune your driving skills

[@vernondavis2207]

Wow!!! So an 800hp clutch is not good at the track??? Where does Mcloud think a person with 700rwhp is going to use it??Im very confused.. Now I see why my RST seems to engage sooner after it warms up..Not cool..

[@thomasrouh2258]

These guys are slamming the shit out they're rods.....expect a weak spot at whatever setup you run.....It's common sense...You spelled McLeod wrong in your comment.....

[@user-cf2sp3jh7t]

Is it okay to install RXT clutch on a stock 2018 GT and will it effects the car in any way?

[@Lethalcamp]

You can install the RXT on a completely stock car without any issues. We ran one on our brand new 2011 5.0L and it worked great for us even at stock HP levels.

[@jakeromero86]

Wait so do these kits come with the different fly wheel?

[@Lethalcamp]

Depending on the year/model the type of flywheel can vary. 99-04 8 bolt cars as well as 11-20 GT/Boss and 07-09 GT500 all use the same flywheel. It's the 10-14 GT500, GT350 and 2018+ mustang that use a different 8 bolt flywheel. Each one has their specific part number dedicated to it.

[@edwindiaz7710]

Is it normal to have vibration or chatter on a McLeod rst for mt82

[@nstackerns]

I am having this vibration and chatter when I'm in High gears low speeds very scary to hear this it's normal? I was worried LOL I have the rxt

[@nstackerns]

Can you make a video of the chatter please so people can hear that to confirm that it's safe

[@bap7929]

I have a street level McLeod clutch in my 03 gt, put about 3,000 miles on it and yes it chatters. My tuner told me that’s what these clutches are known for but they do their job.

[@JayRSwan]

Why are u yelling at me.... oh shit I bought a new flywheel.... Why didn't you tell at me sooner! Lol

[@Lethalcamp]

THANKS!!!! lol
