McLeod clutches are good, their RXT twin discs has a pedal feel of a Honda and can hold 1000HP. I also like Specs, a little stiff on the pedal but they hold power. I'm not too big on Centerforce, I've ran them before but it didn't last long.

really depends on how much power, what kind of car, and what kind of driving before choosing a clutch

After you find what clutch you want There is an option to click 26 spline.

Posted by cemelevu (Member # 10601) on :

I have heard really good things about MCLEOD RACING.

I have a centerforce df, and behind my lil H/C/I, 302, it has held up really good.

Posted by ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA (Member # 5068) on :

yea am leaning towards mcleod...

Posted by 5.0 LsX (Member # 10017) on :

Posted by ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA (Member # 5068) on :

I'm diggin my ram hdx. Softer pedal than my king cobra and it holds much better

Posted by TACH2MX (Member # 9987) on :

I used to run a Zoom stage 3, in my supercharged hatch. Daily driven too. It wasn't bad. McLeod is good shit but really expensive.

You might also want to look at the CenterForce DFX clutch. Or an Anderson Ford Motorsport high rev clutch.

Posted by ALLEYEZONMYCOBRA (Member # 5068) on :

yea i think it was like $500+...hopefully this fidanza i got does good things for me..
