Hey guys looking to do this install at home, the factory drive shaft bolts are "one time use" and should be thrown away once taken out. A lot of fasteners on cars now are this way and are"tighten to yeild" type fasteners. I'm not saying anything will fail if not replaced with new, but its not too much extra money to order the factory drive shaft bolts and replace since you're going through all the time to replace the clutch. Great video Bill and CJs!
Word of advice when using ARP flywheel crank bolts, after I let the threadlocker cure for 24 hours I like to reinstall the starter motor and start the engine. Let it warm up a little and give it some healthy revs. The assembly grease from the ARP bolts is going to sling out all over the flywheel from spinning. Letting the engine run before installing the clutch will allow you to be able to wipe all of that assembly grease off your flywheel before installing the clutch so you do not contaminate your friction disc and ruin it. It is also important to verify that the flywheel is spinning dead straight for added peace of mind. Great video
Hey CJP just an FYI I recently installed an RXT fantastic clutch , but McLeod recommends a minimum of 500 break in miles , not 100. Just figured I'd drop that out there so guys are bombing they're new $1000 clutch lol. CJP awesome videos by the way
I did that in a road race application. They need to figure a method to break it in as a matched set before you get it. I couldn't put miles on a full-blown race car, lowered and full chassis with race suspension. It grenade'd 1st green lap.
Not sure if I glossed over this or what. But in my box there were 2 alignment tools. CHECK WHICH FITS YOUR PILOT BEARING. For me it was the larger of the 2. I installed with the smaller like an idiot and was reinstalling my t56 swap and added 2 hours of labor pulling the SFI housing back off and readjusting it all. Shaft would go past the plates and impact the pilot bearing. Save time and check!
I finally got the trans out and next I can put this sucker in. I’m a mechanic and had a lift but no help and had to manage time. exhaust was welded in one piece with xpipe so getting that out was tough over axle. wiggling the trans out before removing clutch line was a big mistake. Had to wiggle it back and forth to get the clip off. make sure to get the passenger cat bolt from the top with extensions and many wobbles, and squeeze extensions on top the trans with two wobbles for top bolt, and make sure to rotate trans clockwise and backwards at angle. Also pry bar and hammer to separate trans.
If you’re thinking about swapping the flywheel and throw out bearing especially in 11-12s, I would highly recommend getting the tech info from McLeod for clearance distances. I did all McLeod products and now I can’t get the car in reverse or 1st when the cars not moving. Replaced the master clutch master cylinder too. This clutch is specifically designed for the stock throw out bearing
So what did you do to fix it? I need to install a clutch on mine as my pedal doesnt fully return when pressing it down and gets stuck to the floor during high rpm shifts. Basically cant hoon the thing.
@@eternitykings4233 for your problem I would try swapping that master clutch cylinder first. It’s right behind the clutch pedal. For my issue I ended up just ripping everything back out and going with a stock clutch and flywheel. If you do decide to go after market I would have a transmission shop do the work. I took mine to the Ford Dealer and it was nothing but problems with that clutch
If your looking for some high performance this transmission is trash. You need to rip that mt82 out and put a t-56 6 speed if you want to drift king. The tremec is a much better transmission
@@Sick_ridz i have to replace the entire pedal assembly as its about 1-2in off center to the left. Apparently the top of the pedal bracket breaks and causes all these issues. I think the new pedal assembly comes with a new master cylinder? At least i hope, it said “with clutch cylinder” But yeah, it really sucks. I had other places like forums and shops tell me the clutch is causing my inability to shift at high rpms. Lockout is super super bad in my case. I just put in a SS clutch line and that didnt help, seemed to make it worse. Car is stock except for 3.73 gears and apparently the previous owner had a laundry list of upgrades before reverting it to stock and selling it. So makes sense everything is in poor condition.
@@Sick_ridz what stock clutch did you put in? From where? If i dont have to drop $950 on a twin disk 800hp to make it feel better id rather not have to. Hows the stock treating you?
3000 miles on my RXT which I had professionally installed at Galpin Auto Sport in LA... love the amazing bite and definitive "no slip" on this clutch. For me, the squeaks and chatter in low gears is annoying though. Pulling into a parking lot or car show, navigating speed bumps and having the clutch sound like it's loose or something is annoying. Mixed emotions after spending a grand plus installation. As always though, awesome install videos; no lift at home, so opted for the shop.
I really appreciate the video and the detail that you guys covered when doing this, but for gods sake will you please duck the background volume 100% when you are telling us what you doing? I’m much more interested in your words then hearing any of the background and it made it a lot more difficult to understand. Thanks for an otherwise great video and keep up the good work!
Personally, I'm impressed that Bill didn't 'run the crap out of' someone elses car; when you have a performance car - the one thing that scares the crap out of me, is handing my "baby" over to some adrenaline junkie who has no respect for me or my car. I have to wonder if the damage to the clutch may have happened before the owner picked it up in Texas? When you pick up your car and immediately go on a 1,000 /1,500 mile cross-country run, its scary as hell already... especially when you have 900 hp under the pedal. Thas a lot of temptation for some kid who has a chance to blowout the carbon - on someone else's dime. A test run through the gears is expected - but as a professional, who is being paid to work on a car, you need to have a little class, some restraint is not too much expect.
I strongly advise you to put =each item link in the description... Im having a hard time finding certain things, even things such as the tool used to remove the sensor from the exhaust.... thx
Should have never gone with an RXT on an MT82 the RST would have been a better match. The MT 82 is a great transmission if paired with the correct clutch. And why did you not replaced pilot bearing?
Thank you CJ Pony Parts. I'll will definitely be buy a clutch from you guys in the future . I just bought a new 2018 mustang gt with manual transmission, and I think I'm im going to need a new clutch sooner than I thought!
I have a Shelby GT500 cobra 2013 with de 5.8L, I bought the mcleod clutch kit but I want to know if the slave cylinder uses the OEM one or do I have to buy a special one because the height of the mcleod clutch is different from the OEM one
Wait a minute....So this guy paid to have Hennessey do up a mustang but they didn't upgrade the exhaust headers and retained the factory two piece drive shaft? Those seem like some major oversights esp dealing with that much power.
Would you recommend this for a 12 boss 302.....mostly normal street use with occasional 1/4 mile use. OR is there another clutch you would recommend......my original clutch/pedal has a habit of sticking to the floor and I am locked out of next gear on spirited/hi rpm shifts.
I don't like Hennessey releasing a 850hp mustang on a stock clutch. My only guess is that the owner only asked for a few select power options minus the clutch to save money. Then drive a long distance to get clutch done anyways. I'm just a grain of salt of opinion. Didn't add up.
I’ve driven with this exact clutch before, it has a tendency to chatter when starting from low speeds like from a stop sign etc. If you’re having grinding into 3rd then that could be a gear or synchronizer issue
I just installed this clutch together with slave cylinder and clutch line. I have intermittent problems wherr the clutch pedal is not coming back up all the way after I drive for a while without changing gear. It comes back 3/4 of the way then I push it couple times and goes back to full service. Is it normal with a brand new clutch or should I come back to the shop?
Yes and no, you have the automatic transmission which is easier to drive, but harder to work on. The problem is, is that you have to buy two, and install them separately, but at the same time. Makes sense right?
I installed this part and now I'm getting random misfires the CEL code p0300. I've done the crank position sensor relearn and it still came back. Can anyone help please?
+aswerty312 It's possible but I would not hold your breath on that one. OPGs are a popular install but are very involved and most people won't want to try it themselves.
I might not get a reply back. But I’m installing one on my 2017 gt and was wondering if you have to do a crank relearn and what are the different ways to do one?
Resolved this issue. Misfires were occurring due to the new weight of the clutch, the system did not like the change. Performed a crank relearn and the codes/misfires went away.
Bill, should I also change the throwout hearing at the same time, my car only has 2900 miles...they said is best to also put a mcleod throwout bearing as well??
lol... I wont knock em...they got the best how to videos for these cars. Probably the only one with a clutch change video. Removing the battery and battery box and also removing the insulating panel when installing my headers... I saw the bolts on top. it looked like it would be easily accessible from that same point through the battery area.
+Chard Davis The upper bolts are not hard. Once you lower down the transmission you can reach them with a long extension. We did shoot that but for some reason it didn't make the edit.
Awesome video. Just had this install done and hate the chattering. If they installed the plate against the flywheel in reverse would that cause excessive chatter? I also threw a misfire code. Guess I have to do the relearn.
Chatter is normal when the clutch is breaking it. On some cars you need a crank relearn after the clutch install to get rid of the check engine light, the dealer can perform that for you.
I have all of your issues in my stage 3 roush. The tune won't take the crank relearn and I have alot of chatter at 700 miles. Any update? 4 years later lol. Thanks
So, I have a six month old 2016 Mustang GT with 9K and my factory clutch just went out over the weekend. The only mod on the vehicle was the install of a Ford based cold air intake to give a few more hp's. Should I consider this a one-time anomaly or possible a systematic problem?
I'm budget swapping a 2013 Ford 3.7 mated to a mt82 into an rx7 FC. With the research I've done a stock 5.0 flywheel and clutch will work with a 1" spacer on the slave. what clutch kit setup, minus the flywheel would you recommend?
Guys, I just received my RXT and McLeod Steel flywheel combo today. Will installation of this clutch void my powertrain warranty? I know the MT-82 is sketchy enough even in stock form. My OEM clutch went out with simple bolt-ons and a tune at just under 19k miles.
I plan on installing a rst clutch kit on my 2017 should i go ahead and swap out the stock hydraulic throw out bearing? My car has under 10k miles. Thoughts?
You installed the clutch line wrong. The SS line replaces a 2-piece plastic line. One end goes to the transmission and the other end to the firewall directly to the clutch master cylinder on the pedal.
Ever since I did this upgrade my car with a Roush SC has misfire codes... even after relearn, it still has misfire codes... have no clue... car has 3000 miles on it...
How do you get the trans past the first plate? I'm currently in the middle of an rst install on my 98 z28 camaro. It all looks identical, but for whatever reason, I can't get the trans flush with the bellhousing.
So my mustang clutch is acting up. I only have 13k miles. I'm taking it in to get it looked at but what do y'all think it could be.. My clutch pedal got super stiff and after I shift the rpms go higher than the car actually accelerates. Seems like a clutch but it's only 13k miles and I've had other manual cars and drove 80k miles on a clutch no problem. My mustang is a 2015 ecoboost
no its the MT-82 trans, its shitty as hell for the mustang bro , my 2015 Gt also has a problem, i got 10K M , on it , nd when i shift it makes a nasty clunk sound
Would be a little more careful with that antisieze or that grey stuff. you dont want it flyin onto the flywheel surface you gotta have a sterile environment in there not even fingerprints.
The slave cylinder did not have to be replaced. We covered the self bleeding option in the video by pumping the pedal. The other option is a vacuum pump on the reservoir, there is no bleeder on this system.
Great video and I do have a 2013 mustang GT that I need to replace the clutch, but there was two things I didn't see you do since you upgraded to a thousand horsepower clutch , you didn't change the pilot bearing ? that should have came with the kit ? and since the flywheel was off, I didn't see you change the real main seal which would have been a great idea since you had the flywheel off already, I wonder why? I was taught since you have the flywheel off always change the rear main seal so you don't have to go back in there to replace it later , being that you're installing a new clutch it shouldn't matter how many miles the vehicle has in a professional manner the real main seal should have been changed at the same time as the clutch job, humm ?
Dylan Whisnant Love my RXT clutch in my 14. It does chatter though, its especially bad during break in. It definitely mellowed out but its not completely gone. I think it has to do with the clutch hub being un-sprung. That being said clutch holds great. Check out my review video for more info.
Not surprised Hennessey dropped the ball again. 750+ whp with stock exhaust and 2 piece driveshaft? Lol seriously? What is surprising is you guys didn't talk the owner into a 1 piece and exhaust upgrades.
@@cjponyparts my friend put in a McLeod with after market slave cylinder , he said the pedal feels stiff then softer and now it grabs higher . He was wondering how he could make it grab the way it did before? It's a 2014 gt
hdashti2810 I think it would depend on the headers. Looking at the American Racing Headers we installed it looks like you could get the trans passed them but I cannot say for sure.
A little more detail on the clutch line removal would have been preferred; and there was ZERO mentioned about a key component- the throw out bearing!! This more an overview, not a true step by step step.
If it weren't for Bill, I would've spent a metric ass ton of money on labor. He makes it look easy. I feel like I owe Bill a beer or twelve.
Swervin309 having a lift makes it a million times easier
i realize I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

We were working with different sound levels and have since adjusted them way down during any talking.
would've been good opportunity for owner to install barton/MGW shifter, headers, driveshaft to help that supercharger
ForTehNguyen I am sure all that will happen down the road, we try to install only a part or two at a time so you get to see the whole install process.
If I have no problems with my clutch and am currently at stock horsepower, there wouldn't be any reason to install a new clutch kit? Right?

Elaborate on "chatter" please. I did this clutch swap and I hear a slight grind entering 3rd gear.😓
I’ve driven with this exact clutch before, it has a tendency to chatter when starting from low speeds like from a stop sign etc. If you’re having grinding into 3rd then that could be a gear or synchronizer issue
If the mustang has long tube headers, do they need to be removed to get Trans out?
In most cases yes.
Why when it goes back up there are no torque specs? Bellhousing bolts, driveshaft, transmission mount...
Do you have to do a crankshaft relearn after?
Yes
would the clutch line install be the same for a 2013?

Bill, have you heard of cylinder misfire after a clutch install? I've have also heard a crank position sensor relearn will be needed after.
Yes it can be an issue on some cars and you need to fix through a tuner or the dealer. I have not had any issues yet (knock on wood)

no need to replace the throw bearing ?
do you recommend rev matching?

I plan on installing a rst clutch kit on my 2017 should i go ahead and swap out the stock hydraulic throw out bearing? My car has under 10k miles. Thoughts?
I would probably upgrade the TO Bearing if you are upgrading to a twin disc clutch.
You installed the clutch line wrong. The SS line replaces a 2-piece plastic line. One end goes to the transmission and the other end to the firewall directly to the clutch master cylinder on the pedal.
Ever since I did this upgrade my car with a Roush SC has misfire codes... even after relearn, it still has misfire codes... have no clue... car has 3000 miles on it...
Someone fcked up
Can be done without remove the shifter?
No
How do you get the trans past the first plate? I'm currently in the middle of an rst install on my 98 z28 camaro. It all looks identical, but for whatever reason, I can't get the trans flush with the bellhousing.
having the same problem, not sure what I'm doing wrong. The trans just doesn't want to seat in all the way!
@@ArcticNightwind check the pilot bearing size. That's what the issue ended up being for me. I ordered the correct one, and got the wrong one
JUst Got One From You for my 93 cobra and have a bit of Chatter in 1st gear .. ???? any ideas?
Chatter is very common with a new clutch and many times is just part of the break in procedure.
So my mustang clutch is acting up. I only have 13k miles. I'm taking it in to get it looked at but what do y'all think it could be.. My clutch pedal got super stiff and after I shift the rpms go higher than the car actually accelerates. Seems like a clutch but it's only 13k miles and I've had other manual cars and drove 80k miles on a clutch no problem. My mustang is a 2015 ecoboost
no its the MT-82 trans, its shitty as hell for the mustang bro , my 2015 Gt also has a problem, i got 10K M , on it , nd when i shift it makes a nasty clunk sound
it may be the concentric slave cylinder. Mine was super stiff, took down the trans for a clutch swap and it was all types of destroyed
Would be a little more careful with that antisieze or that grey stuff. you dont want it flyin onto the flywheel surface
you gotta have a sterile environment in there not even fingerprints.
People are reporting noice issueson these clutches, any info/update on that?
They should be rattling and noisy in idle?
I’m having the same problem.. I’m not certain has much about the rattling than the noise it’s like a squeak/tick noise, I can’t find any info on it
Do not buy RXT if you are on stock MT82 and Boost it will eat your transmission. Get RST
Hello, what's the torque spec for installing the pressure plate?
85 ftlbs?
McLeod Twin Disc RXT or RST? need a new clutch for TT 5.0, with 600 whp (for now). Will RXT destroy my MT82?
No.
Yeah, it will grenade a stock MT82 within a week if you shift @ high RPM. I would go with an RST.
how you bleed the hydralic clutch line?
It is a self-bleeding system. So, either a vacuum pump on the reservoir or pump the pedal.
Great clutch but lotta chatter.
The stickers are still on 😢
What about the slave cylinder install? And bleeding process?
The slave cylinder did not have to be replaced. We covered the self bleeding option in the video by pumping the pedal. The other option is a vacuum pump on the reservoir, there is no bleeder on this system.
What are the symptoms when replacing is needed? Or is it just best practice since all is apart to replace bearing and slave cylinder at that time?
Leaks or a very spongy pedal are common symptoms.
What about the pilot bearing
Great video and I do have a 2013 mustang GT that I need to replace the clutch, but there was two things I didn't see you do since you upgraded to a thousand horsepower clutch , you didn't change the pilot bearing ? that should have came with the kit ? and since the flywheel was off, I didn't see you change the real main seal which would have been a great idea since you had the flywheel off already, I wonder why? I was taught since you have the flywheel off always change the rear main seal so you don't have to go back in there to replace it later , being that you're installing a new clutch it shouldn't matter how many miles the vehicle has in a professional manner the real main seal should have been changed at the same time as the clutch job, humm ?
I've heard that these cause a lot more NVH
Dylan Whisnant I have used the RXT in multiple applications without any change in NVH. Not sure where you heard that.
Dylan Whisnant Love my RXT clutch in my 14. It does chatter though, its especially bad during break in. It definitely mellowed out but its not completely gone. I think it has to do with the clutch hub being un-sprung. That being said clutch holds great. Check out my review video for more info.
Was the pilot bearing replaced along with slave cylinder?
bearing
Not surprised Hennessey dropped the ball again. 750+ whp with stock exhaust and 2 piece driveshaft? Lol seriously? What is surprising is you guys didn't talk the owner into a 1 piece and exhaust upgrades.
Still don’t understand how people use the RXT with a stock MT82. That clutch will grenade a stock MT82 within a week.
El Coyote I have RXT clutches in both my 2013s and have for years without any issue. One of those cars has around 100 passes on it. No issues.
@@cjponyparts my friend put in a McLeod with after market slave cylinder , he said the pedal feels stiff then softer and now it grabs higher . He was wondering how he could make it grab the way it did before? It's a 2014 gt
is it possible with long tube headers ? without taking off the headers or drop the engine
hdashti2810 I think it would depend on the headers. Looking at the American Racing Headers we installed it looks like you could get the trans passed them but I cannot say for sure.
I have American racing 1 7/8 on my 2014 looks tight
Did they even wipe their greasy finger prints off the flywheel
There’s no tools you’ll need to complete the job part 😭😅
Can you imagine spending all the money on a Hennessy GT and they deliver it with a stock clutch 🥴
Should have spent the money and got a Mantic. Best clutch money can buy.
They weren't even around when we did this video
@@cjponyparts Yeah, I just noticed the date of this video. My bad
Fck mantic. Cost $2k and a waste unless you make 900plus wheel, and I know you don't.
Why tf are you using an impact on a flywheel
A little more detail on the clutch line removal would have been preferred; and there was ZERO mentioned about a key component- the throw out bearing!! This more an overview, not a true step by step step.
Twin disc clutch, kinda overkill for that setup, thats no 9 second car...
Actually 743 wheel is an easy 9.80 car
