The single disc clutch started slipping behind this torque monster so I thought Id try a McLeod Twin setup.
The installation was a breeze, hopefully I will get to try it out this weekend.



Adapter plate and first disc in.



Second disc and pressure plate.

Just got back from a short test drive. Man they weren't kidding when they said pedal pressure was lighter than stock. So easy to push in. Have to wait for a few hundred miles before I can really try her out!

Did you have to modify the input shaft or bearing retainer?

Glad to hear of the light pedal pressure also. Two things that I've found is that the pressure plate doesn't center well off the studs since there not shouldered like the factory bolts. I had the balancing shop dimple three spots around the six pressure plate holes. Now it's centered. I'm really surprised in McLeod for not focusing on that. The other thing I've noticed is that there is a rattle when I turned the engine off. I removed the clutch and the rattle went away. Since I have the engine on a test stand, it was easy to do. Out side of that, I can't wait to see how it works.
