New Clutch for the Cobra
The clutch and throwout bearing finally gave up in the Cobra a couple weeks or so ago. So I called GTR and they ordered me a McLeod Street Extreme clutch which according to McLeod is good for 700hp/tq. I pulled the trans yesterday and dropped the flywheel off this morning to have it resurfaced.

That's a different level of performance, but I went from a McLeodd Street Performance to a Luk Pro Gold and in addition to being about 1/3 the price is way better for smooth engagement and light feel. It grips at least as well, if not better. It's supposedly the ZO6 OEM clutch, so plenty for me.

Did you have an issue with the McLeod Street slipping?
|
My builder always told me Mcleod were the biggest pieces of shit ever. I have never run one though.
|
Well hopefully he's wrong because that's what I'm getting.
|
In my research, I have found lots of people recommend the OE/Ford Performance throwout bearing because the ones in most of the kits are not great.
|
I think this one was a Duralast one from Autozone that I bought not that long ago. I will probably be getting one from Ford as you suggested.

My old clutch disc is a McLeod and it probably has 40,000 - 50,000 miles on it. I have a Spec stage 3 pressure plate but the Spec stage 2 disc ( it was a stage 2+ package) broke a while ago and I bought the McLeod disc from GTR. It held up fine behind the 302 but the extra 100 lb/ft of torque from the 347 is just too much for it.
