The 2024+ Mustang GT, while bringing new features and updated looks from it's S550 predecessor, did inherit the 6-speed Getrag MT82 manual transmission. There are some slight changes, though, so this new S650 Mustang uses a slightly different clutch. 

 

Enter McLeod Racing, one of the first to market with a suite of twin disc clutch kits for the 2024+ Mustang GT manual cars: the RST, RXT and RXTHD. 

 

 

 

 

We recently installed a new McLeod RXT in our 800hp 2024 Mustang GT that is equipped with a 3.0L Whipple Supercharger and paired it with an MGW Shifter, one of our favorite combinations. Not only is the RXT setup smooth on the street, but we even hit the drag strip to really put it to the test!

 

 

 

 

So, which McLeod clutch is right for your 2024 Mustang GT?

Let's go over the options.

 

 

McLeod RST

The McLeod RST is designed for enthusiasts with high horsepower but keep it on the street.  The RST twin disc clutch kit for the 2024+ Mustang is a more budget-friendly twin disc option that is rated up to 800hp while maintaining excellent street-friendly behavior. The clutch kit features organic-lined clutch discs that offer smooth engagement and a light pedal feel, making it perfect for performance-oriented street driving. NOTE: this clutch kit is not intended for competitive racing purposes. 

 

Key Features:

- Rated to 800hp

- Organic Compound Discs

- Bolt-on or Forced Induction cars

- Street car setups only; RST organic compound cannot withstand the heat of track use

 

The McLeod Racing RST Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered for the demands of street driving. Experience smooth engagements, a light pedal feel, and seamless transitions through city traffic or on the open road.

McLeod RXTHD

The McLeod RXTHD is tailored for those seeking even higher horsepower in both street and strip scenarios, supporting up to 1200hp in your 2024+ Ford Mustang GT while retaining street-friendly features.
