FAQ
What is the 6908-07MD?The McLeod 6908-07MD is a complete twin-disc clutch kit with a matched steel flywheel for 2007-2009 Ford Shelby GT500, built on an 8-bolt crank pattern with a 1-1/8 inch x 26 spline input shaft. It increases torque handling over the factory clutch while remaining street-driveable.
Do I still need to buy a flywheel separately?No, this kit includes a matched steel flywheel, so there's nothing extra to source.
Can I reuse my factory flywheel with this kit instead?No, this kit is sold complete with its own matched flywheel and isn't designed to pair with the factory unit.
Will the pedal feel a lot heavier than stock?The diaphragm-style pressure plate and sprung hub disc are tuned to keep pedal effort reasonable for street driving despite the added torque capacity.
Is this something I can install myself?It requires transmission removal, so it's best handled by an experienced technician familiar with GT500 driveline service.
Is there a break-in period after installation?Yes, McLeod recommends following their official break-in procedure before subjecting the clutch to full load.
What spline size does this use?It uses a 1-1/8 inch x 26 spline to match the factory Tremec TR6060 transmission.
Will this hold up to occasional track use?Yes, this twin-disc setup is built to handle torque well beyond the factory single-disc clutch, making it suitable for spirited street driving and occasional track days.

Clutch Components
A performance clutch system is one of the most impactful drivetrain upgrades available for any manual transmission vehicle. From street-friendly organic disc kits to heavy-duty ceramic setups built for drag racing and track use, matching the right clutch components to your power level and driving style keeps engagement consistent and power transfer reliable.Popular UpgradesStage 1 and Stage 2 clutch kits with upgraded pressure plates and organic or hybrid friction discs are the most popular choice for street builds making 300 to 500 horsepower. Stage 3 and Stage 4 ceramic or Kevlar disc setups handle the demands of forced induction or high-compression builds. Lightweight aluminum flywheels paired with upgraded clutch kits improve rev response and make gear changes faster on both street and track applications.What clutch stage do I need for my build?Stage 1 clutches are rated for lightly modified street engines up to about 350 horsepower. Stage 2 kits cover 350 to 500 horsepower with...
