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.
Does the pedal feel noticeably heavier with this clutch?The sprung hub disc design helps dampen driveline vibration, keeping pedal feel manageable for daily driving despite the increased torque capacity.
Is there a break-in period after installation?Yes, McLeod's official break-in procedure should be followed before subjecting the clutch to full load.
Does this kit come with the tools needed for alignment during install?Yes, an alignment tool and floater plate are included to simplify installation.
Can this handle occasional track use, or is it strictly for the street?The RST HD line is built for spirited street driving with occasional track use, offering more torque capacity than a stock clutch while preserving comfortable pedal feel.
Install Instructions
- Disconnect the battery and support the vehicle safely on a lift or stands.
- Remove the transmission per factory service procedures to access the clutch assembly.
- Remove the factory clutch and inspect the flywheel surface for wear or damage.

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...
