New Clutch!!
Just finished the install last night of my new clutch.
Mcleod RST street twin, replacing the Centerforce Dual friction I put in 1 year ago.
The Centerforce had been giving me some serious issues, and it was time to replace. I snapped the master cylinder off the firewall twice because of how tight it was. When we removed it, the springs in the disc were rubbing on the heads of the flywheel bolts????
While I was in there, I replaced the pilot bearing, slave cylinder, and had to put a new pedal assembly in since that's what was breaking.
Overall I can't even describe the difference in the clutch, its just amazing.
Before 8-10 seconds was the MAX you wanted to hold the clutch in, I would say it was in the 40-50lb leg press range. High RPM shifts were impossible, and it really liked to chatter on engagement.
The Mcleod, is lighter than the Brake pedal, and super smooth, driving last night I would push the clutch and all the sudden be on the floor with no effort. The engagement is super smooth and the feel is just awesome.
If anyone is thinking about getting a new clutch definitely check this one out, it was about $200 more than the centerforce, and didn't come with a flywheel, but if it last longer than a year it'll be worth it not having to do the clutch again.
Heres a picture of the old slave, I'll get some more up.
