FAQ
What is the 6975-07MD?The McLeod 6975-07MD is a modular steel base plate twin-disc clutch assembly for 2010-2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, using a sprung hub disc design on a 1-1/8 inch x 26 spline input shaft. It bolts to the factory flywheel and increases torque capacity over the stock single-disc clutch while keeping street manners intact.
Do I need a new flywheel for this kit?No, this kit is designed to bolt directly to the factory GT500 flywheel, so no flywheel purchase is necessary.
Will my factory slave cylinder still work with this?Yes, it's compatible with the factory short-style slave cylinder used on 2010-2014 GT500 models.
Can I install this myself, or should I have a shop do it?Clutch and driveline work requires transmission removal, so installation by an experienced technician or shop familiar with GT500 driveline service is recommended.
