The Mcleod also has a bearing kit which is not yet on the summit site. 14-301

They don't have the bearing kit post at summit yet.

Aluminum Drive shaft either steeda, West coast drive shafts ( can't find their link).

That's the exact same clutch I'm gonna get later this summer.. I found a locla speedshop that said they'll install it for $350, including resurfacing my OE flywheel.

Why not get the Spyder driveshaft. Hardcore Mustangs is having a group buy going on right now. I think the Steeda one is the same thing just overpriced.

Why are you considering going back to the heavier steel flywheel from the aluminum? I'm just curious. After Im finished with the suspension my next project will be the clutch - I'll probably go with the McLeod.

I plan on keeping my stock flywheel as well and going with the McLeod RST as well. I think I should get a new DS as well since install requires removal of just about everything anyway. So $719+ for the clutch, the bearing kit (cost?), and a new DS $600+, and will probably get shaftmasters or spyder or coast driveline DS ($575- nice!). Here is a link to shaftmasters and they are local to me and have a great DS
http://www.shaftmasters.com/store/in...mp;cPath=17_23 Not sure which to get the one with the adapter plate or the cheaper one with the pinion flange? (im thinking adapter plate)....they have a 4" as well. I am NOT a fan of the Steeda one but for no real reason. Every person I have talked with says the RST is the best clutch on the market bar none and hold more HP/TQ then I will ever have and I am steering clear of the specs....nothing against it and yes they are cheaper but this just makes sense and should HOLD for the duration. I have no plans on going over 600+ RWHP/TQ with this car.

Sorry to hijack but should the slave be replaced as well? I was reading a thread on this before and wonder if it is necessary and being a noob to drivelines its not part of the bearing kit is it? Thanks J

I was not aware that hcm was having a group buy in, I just happen to like the steeda drive shaft, for no particular reason. I am probably going back to stock on the flywheel, because the aluminum flywheel I have is a Specs II, and it will work with the Mcleod, but since I have had nothing but problems with my Specs setup I don't want to reuse any of it and run the risk of it screwing something else up.

Bearing kit is $495 at summit.
