What clutch are you running?

[Boostie]

Like the title says, I have a mcleod in the car that is slipping. I do not want to use another one. Monster is out of my budget as of now. I am still debating between spec and centerforce. Car makes 400+whp on motor.

What are you using?
What kind of driving?
Launch on slicks/drag radials?
Any chatter?

What are your plans for it? Hard launches? Spray? Drive it a lot?
If you just plan on keeping it motor only with nothing crazy I would say ls7

 

[IDAFC21]

LS7 on mine. Tho im not really making crazy power. Nor am I racing or launching it. So it works just fine for me.

Street and track use with slicks and drag radials. Not interested in ls7 as I have read they are not good for hard launches. Car is not a daily driver but I dont want a clutch that is going to chatter my teeth out.

well count Centerforce out, shit it rough for a DD or even cruising IMO. I had it in my first T/A and it was very tight although that was 6yrs ago now

 

[Boostie]

I have done a lot of research and appearently centerforce has made quite the come back compaired to their clutches of 06 and older. The are on the cheaper end but I like that they are a full disk. I have also been looking at spec stage 2/2+

 

[utryd2]

Ram twin disc. No complaints

 

[Eagle]

Call monster clutches! Great product, great prices.

 

[GOON]

is it an rst or rxt?

Then I bought this dudes TA, then sold it and some guy that went turbo. He ran the same centerforce clutch for a season before he went auto.

What about a LS6 clutch? Or can LS7/LS9 work in a Fbody?

Id say install install a tick master cylinder with remote bleeder at the same time. I have a buddy that swings HARD from those.

If you're going to run pretty much anything more than stock power, I'd avoid the ls7.

 

[School Boy]

centerforce and spec are garbage in my opinion, they dont last long and they chatter like you wont believe. i have a ls7 in mine and it does fine for the street but on hard launches with a tire is slips. If i were you id go with with a mcleod rst. they drive very close to stock and can handle a ton of power, thats the next thing on my mod list.

shoulda got in on the $100 off sale when monster had it goin around the end of dec. with free shipping..

i love my monster stage 3 clutch..never feels like its lacking, and its not terrible on the leg...but ive also got a tickmaster installed which helps..

It sounds like the Ram Twin Disc is out of your price range but it really is an amazing clutch! I would wait and save up or it if I were you!

speed bleeder is a godsend. makes flushing out clutch fluid a breeze.

 

[Wrencher]

I run a McLeod street twin.
More clutch dump launches 5k+ on slicks than I can remember.
The RST is a diaphram spring pressure plate.
The street twin is a coil spring pressure plate.
It seems to hold up much better IMO.

The only complaint really is it's a a small window of engagement.
It's near on off.
That & twin disc's are known to cause more input shaft spline wear.

 

[Slolane]

anyone have experience with Spec Stage 2+??

 

[Boostie]

Ended up ordering a spec stage 2 and billet flywheel. Will give review after install.

 

[wolfe]

For anyone else looking monster is having the $100 off sale again

 

[Dan00Hawk]

Also have a McLeod street twin in my heavy convertible with 400rwhp. Been in there for the last 10 years and 30,000 miles. It's a bit heavy, but not terrible. I would not do the aluminum flywheel, as it makes it too easy to bog off the start.

RAM clutch. Nuff said.

I know. You could've still got it for your setup though. I swing off of RAM stuff pretty hard.

Did you get the one you bought installed?

center force dfx in my car, 6k launches, I don't drive it a ton on the street but as long as you don't try to drive it like it is stock its fine. holds power imo
