rollout34 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hey guys trying to get some insight. i switched over to McLeod RXT when my car had 650whp 4 months ago. I broke the clutch in as specified, installation went with ought a hitch and i loved the clutch feel and performance.About a month ago i moved up to 750-800whp i have not had any track passes on the clutch at all, just spirited driving and some mexico runs 60 rolls, so nothing crazy. Two days ago the clutch started slipping, and now it is to the point where under any moderate acceleration it slips. i just do not get it because the gears engage perfect, i did not loose pedal pressure and all goes well except for all the slippage. Just thinking that i will have to cough up another $1800 in less than 5 months just frustrates me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Could Oil have recently gotten on the Clutch, maybe a blown or leaking Seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Good Luck, please let us know what you find. I put the same set up when mine was making 550 back 2.5 yrs ago and back in Feb upgraded to a Whipple. Now making 740. No problems....yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't have some type of warranty? Maybe the clutch itself was defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same clutch about 620HP at the wheels. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
