Product Description

The McLeod 6908-07MD RST HD Twin-Disc Clutch Kit is engineered specifically for 2007-2009 Ford Shelby GT500 models equipped with the 5.4L supercharged Modular V8 and 6-speed manual transmission. The package combines a twin-disc RST HD clutch assembly with a dedicated 164-tooth billet-steel flywheel, providing a complete performance clutch solution for the S197 GT500 platform.

The RST HD uses two organic friction discs with a solid-hub configuration and diaphragm-style pressure plate. The twin-disc layout increases available friction surface area while maintaining smooth, street-friendly engagement. McLeod rates this configuration for up to 800 ft-lbs of crank torque, making it well suited to high-output street GT500s while remaining focused on street performance rather than dedicated competition use.

The kit uses a 1-1/8 x 26-spline transmission input and the 8-bolt crankshaft configuration associated with the 2007-2009 GT500. The hydraulic throwout bearing and pilot bushing are not included. Before installation, verify the vehicle's model year, transmission, clutch-release components, crankshaft configuration, and flywheel arrangement. Proper bellhousing alignment, pilot-bearing inspection or replacement, and the recommended clutch break-in procedure are important for reliable operation.
