A review on the clutch setup I have in my 2003 terminator cobra. I have the McLeod RST twin disk clutch. I talk about all the pros and cons on having this clutch in the car. Hope you guys enjoy! #cobra #rst #mcleod

I noticed right away the clutch asked for way more RPMs or it would chatter. I thought I had a defective clutche but thanks to you and a few others, I see it's normal! 👍🏼

I have the street level McLeod (rated 300 hp) paired with their lightened steel flywheel, it’ll chatter until 1,700-1,800+ RPM then it gets quiet. Thought I installed the clutch wrong but I took it to my tuner and he said Mcleods are known for their chatter. So yeah perfectly normal lol.

I've been looking at these and they seem well worth the money. Only experience I have with aftermarket clutch's is spec and centerforce but I'll deff spring for one of these when the time comes

1st off ... that blower whine 😊, just did the RXT in my GXP with steel flywheel as well, such a good upgrade from stock!
@marine0331inf4 жыл бұрын
With aluminum flywheels you will definitely get more noise and chatter. You did well with the lightened steel.

This came across my suggested videos so I'll comment again on it. I recently got a smoking deal on a McLeod RXT open box for $860. Just couldn't pass that up. As much as I love the VMP I have no I do miss that Eaton whine though lol. VMP still whines but you do have to wind it up more to get to that point. The power difference is immense though

Have had my RST for about four years in my Cobra, and I love it. Had a Centerforce in it when I bought it and I hated it, heavy pedal, poor grip. Best decision I ever made was to switch to a RST vs. a Spec 3+. My cousin has a Cobra with the Spec, and everytime he drives my car he wishes he had bought the McLeod.

I was having the same problem,shifted perfect just running up through the gears unless I was racing someone then everytime I'd go to shift it it was like hitting a wall so annoying..also getting a 2.9 whipple and the cooling mod if you haven't done that make sure u do the rear cylinders dont get cooled enough and and u end up losing a cylinder my father and I both have one and both lost rear cylinder

Also recapping my comment from a year ago, My Terminator had a bent clutch fork from when I purchased it. I ended up just wanting to go back to a stock clutch for a stock setup...Because I was tired of snapping clutch cables every month... But the parts market was bad a year ago, and had to spend over 1k for a stock flywheel. Wish I had gone with the Mcleod kit... It would have been a great bargain. Just a reminder how important aftermarket support for enthusiast cars really matters. 😺

dang, I sold my stock flywheel on svtp for $250 not too long ago. Wish i would have known you needed one
@IVenomousV5 жыл бұрын
Kyle - what noticeable differences did you see with the Billet Steel Flywheel? Quicker RPM drops? Slightly, or Improved Acceleration? Quicker response on tip in? Weight savings? (5-10 pounds)
@KyleSVT5 жыл бұрын
Weight savings for sure. Its hard to tell because the new clutch felt so different than stock. The main reason doing it was I needed a new flywheel for the car because I got the clutch so I figured I would save some weight while I was at it.

Had one installed a few weeks ago, also had issues going into third before, fine now, agree well worth the trade offs, think you can get replacement disks for 300 if they wear out.

@TheMrChaddles4 жыл бұрын
I also have the exact same issue. I was broke and cheaped out going with the spec stage 2 w/ light pedal option, and a fidanza aluminum flywheel; so I’m worried about having way too much chatter. I have heard the spec clutches chatter pretty bad anyway, and to pair it with an aluminum flywheel will not help it. Also got the ford racing TOB, pilot bearing, McLeod triple hook quadrant, firewall adjuster.. and I’m gonna check anything/everything else and replace if needed
@overheadcam326 жыл бұрын
Where does the pedal engage? Mine lets out right near top. They didn’t use an adjustable pivot ball. Even with adjustable clutch quad it’s letting out way too high for my taste. Mine doesn’t chatter though

yea mine is close to the top as well. Not that high tho

McLeod should offer a sprung hub version to help eliminate the floater plate chatter like the Tilton ST-246.

Perhaps you need to adjust it. might have to get a firewall adjuster and clutch quadrant or maybe even a new clutch cable if the guy didnt repalce those things when he got the clutch

not at all. The rxt might be tho. Only time this one is noisey is when the clutch chatters like in the video.
