McLeod Clutch Kits & Accessories

Street or Strip, McLeod Holds the Power
(RXT, RST, Street Pro)

When your build starts pushing real torque, stock clutches just don’t cut it. That’s where McLeod Racing steps in. Known across the street, strip, and road course scenes, McLeod builds clutch kits that hold serious torque while still keeping pedal feel manageable. Whether you're bolting in a mild Street Pro upgrade or chasing four-figure power with a McLeod RXT, McLeod has a clutch for your style of driving.

At Lethal, we carry the full line of McLeod clutch kits and flywheels, tested in-house and trusted by modders who actually put their foot down.

Find the Best McLeod Clutch for Your Build

Whether you're working on a mild bolt-on setup or trying to keep a boosted Coyote from roasting third gear, McLeod clutch kits and flywheels are ready to take the hit. Their product line covers a wide range of power levels, driving styles, and budgets, so you’re not stuck overbuilding or settling for less.

McLeod Clutch Series Breakdown

Here’s how the most popular McLeod clutch lines stack up when it comes to torque capacity and daily drivability:

  • Street Pro: Ideal for street-driven cars with bolt-ons or light tuning. This is a single-disc organic clutch that feels close to stock but offers better bite and durability. Smooth pedal, good manners, and typically supports ~400–450 hp in street-oriented builds.
  • RST (Twin Disc, Organic): One of McLeod’s most popular setups for street builds. Smooth engagement with soft pedal feel and commonly supports up to ~800 hp, depending on the application. Many McLeod RST kits include a steel or aluminum flywheel.
  • RXT / RXT HD (Twin Disc, Ceramic): Built for serious street/strip and high-power builds, these kits grab harder and hold more: supports ~1,000+ hp (RXT) and ~1,300+ (RXT HD), application-dependent. Still streetable, but more aggressive on take-up. Some McLeod RXT clutch kits include flywheels; others are sold separately based on fitment.

McLeod Flywheel Options

Choosing the right flywheel can help tailor your build’s response. McLeod offers both steel and aluminum flywheel options, depending on how you want your setup to drive:

  • Steel Flywheels: Heavier, better for torque retention and smooth engagement. Often preferred on daily or drag setups.
  • Aluminum Flywheels: Lighter, rev faster, better for road course or spirited driving. Slightly more chatter at idle in some combos.

Install Notes & Driving Feel

Before you jump into an install, here are a few key things to know about how McLeod clutches behave on the street:

  • Pedal Feel varies by clutch series. Street Pro and RST stay light; RXT gets stiffer under load.
  • Break-In Period is key, especially on twin-disc clutches. McLeod recommends ~500 miles of moderate stop-and-go driving before wide-open throttle.
  • Slave Cylinder Compatibility matters. Some kits require upgraded hydraulics or include hardware for easy installation.

From basic upgrades to race-level power, McLeod gives you the grip you need, without guessing what works for your car.

What Do McLeod Clutch Kits Fit?

McLeod doesn’t build one-size-fits-all clutches; they engineer each kit to match specific platforms, drivetrains, and power goals. Whether you're upgrading a daily driver or prepping a street/strip monster, there’s a McLeod clutch that fits your Mustang GT, Shelby, F-150, or GM vehicle perfectly.

Ford Mustang GT (All Generations)

From 3V to Gen-4 Coyote, McLeod clutch kits for Mustang GTs are among our top sellers at Lethal. We offer options for 2011-2017, 2018-2023, and the newest 2024+ Mustang GT / Dark Horse platforms, including kits that work with factory or upgraded flywheels, and support builds from mild to fully boosted.

Shelby GT500 / Cobra / Mach 1

Higher-revving engines need clutches that can hold on without frying under pressure. McLeod’s RXT and RXT HD kits are a popular match for high-output Shelby GT500 / Cobra / Mach 1 platforms, especially in tuned or track-prepped builds.

F-150 (Select Manual-Transmission Applications)

Yes, McLeod makes clutch kits for stick-shift F-150s, too. If you're towing, boosting, or just tired of factory slip, we've got options that hold the extra torque without turning daily driving into a chore.

GM & Mopar Muscle

McLeod covers Camaro SS / ZL1, Corvette, Challenger / Charger, and other V8 RWD platforms with kits tailored to factory and swapped drivetrains. If you’ve got a Tremec or TR6060 and some torque to manage, we’ve got you covered.

Fitment Tips

  • Check if your kit includes a flywheel. We list this clearly on each product page.
  • Confirm transmission type (MT-82, TR3160, T56, etc.) to avoid cross-fitment issues.
  • Need upgraded hydraulics? Many Mustang kits include or recommend a slave/master cylinder upgrade.

If you’re not sure what fits—or what’s overkill for your build—our techs can walk you through the best McLeod option for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About McLeod Clutch Kits and Flywheels

Having problems figuring out which clutch or flywheel combo makes the most sense for your build? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get about McLeod clutch kits and flywheels.

What’s the difference between a modular clutch kit and a non-modular one?

Modular kits are designed to work with factory-style flywheels and hardware, while non-modular kits include their own dedicated flywheel and hardware package. Non-modular setups offer more flexibility and often handle more power.

Can I reuse my factory flywheel with a McLeod clutch?

In some lower-horsepower applications, yes, but it’s not always recommended. A fresh flywheel surface ensures proper engagement and avoids premature wear, especially when installing a performance clutch.

Does McLeod offer SFI-certified flywheels?

Yes, many McLeod flywheels are SFI 1.1 certified, meaning they’re rated for high-RPM and competition use. This is a must-have if you're building a race car or want peace of mind at redline.


McLeod Racing: A Legacy Built on Grip and Grit

McLeod Racing has been a powerhouse in performance driveline components since 1971. From NHRA drag cars to weekend cruisers, their clutches have earned a reputation for holding big power and staying streetable.

They’ve built their rep on doing things right: race-tested designs, real-world R&D, and a product range that covers everything from mild OEM upgrades to full-on race kits. When you hear people talk about the McLeod RXT, RST, or Street Pro, it’s because they’ve been there, done that, and the clutch held. Backed by over 50 years of innovation and based in the USA, McLeod is the go-to for drivers who need the best.
