McLeod Hydraulic Clutch Conversion Kit

JymboSlice · Feb 11, 2011

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone with a 94'-04' mustang has done one of these conversions. It looks like a good kit and you wouldn't need to fool around with the clutch cable or anything.

There's the kit, but for almost $600 it would be at the last of my list of things to buy.

Hmmmm, this has me interested as well.

It just came out. I first saw it in the last issue of MM&FF so I checked their web site and its pretty darn expensive at around 600.00! I was going to get it for my Fox but I could use that kinda cash on something better.

Dark_Horse · Feb 16, 2011

I agree, $600 is probably better spent elsewhere for the 2v especially. But this is an awesome find. I've driven newer S197 mustangs, and for a daily driver, I'd much rather have one of them. Those hydraulic clutches are very smoooth. If I ever get some extra $$ to throw at my car you better believe I'll be getting this kit

Well, it's still a new product so as time goes by I'm sure there will be another company to make one and thus the prices will drop in a year or so.

anyone think it would be easy to install? I hated crawling under the dash underneath the steering wheel to swap out my clutch quadrant

I can tell you first hand that my friend has a '89 fox and was tired of replacing steeda cables every six months just recently put one in like 2 weeks ago and the kit was a straight up slam dunk to install. The really trick thing about the kit was that it made his 2800# pressure plate feel like my wifes honda accord.

by straight up slam dunk to install do you mean it was really easy to install?

AmericanThunder · Feb 19, 2011

Yes it was easy to install. Did it in about an hour and a half start to finish.

thats not bad at alll. maybe ill be investing into one of these soon

I drove a newer Saleen Mustang a couple years ago and found the pedal pressure was very light, very smooth, but offered little 'feel'. I dunno, for me, I'm quite happy with an OEM cable.

ItsStock02 · Feb 21, 2011

I think my Mustang is easier to DD with the cable clutch. The pedal does all the work for you pretty much. My Saturn has a hydraulic clutch and Fidanza aluminum flywheel (im sure the flywheel contributes to this) but its alot harder to be smooth while taking off. I like feeling the pedal push against my foot while releasing it.

Maxpowers · Feb 21, 2011

This would be nice for a DD in heavy traffic areas.

I wonder how the TOB design would work in our cars? I know a lot of aftermarket companies do not have a good design.

i cant stand to drive a car without the feedback i get from my cable clutch

install a aftermarket cable, quadrant, and a stiffer clutch.. you won't be happy with it in a parking lot, traffic, or stopping/starting

UPR probably. It'll last about 3 weeks of regular use, before it breaks.

I use one in my race car (not this model). I love it and hate it at the same time. I like it because it's better than a stock pivot fork (think GM 3-speed) but it's a pain in the butt to install and bleed. With mine, maybe not this one, I have to shim behind it to make it work. Get it wrong and you'll blow the o-ring and drain all the fluid and have to pull it all back out.

I don't know if these have the same faults but something to think about.

Anybody that is in the market for one of these kits, here is our new how to install and bleed video.

I've got the Mcleod RXT in my car. Best damn clutch I have ever owned. Feels like butter and tolerates hard launches, big burnouts, and high speed passes up around 200mph, and doesn't skip a beat.
