Not Ranked
I know that there are many running the McLeod TO bearings without a problem. It is highly recommended by my local performance Ford Speed Shop.
It is very important to get the initial setup right, or you WILL have problems.
All that said, I suffered with mine for 2 years before finally pulling it and going to a hyd slave cylinder setup. More than once, lost my clutch at a stop, or when going for a quick shift, lost the clutch the next time I needed it. After a year or so, I got used to it enough that I knew when I had to pump it up before the next use.
Didn't bother with the upgrade (mine had the banjo fittings). After 10k miles on the McLeod, and never knowing if it was going to do what it was supposed to do (always had a can of brake fluid to keep topping it up), I pulled the trans and changed the setup.
I'm very happy with my current hyd slave setup (got the parts from Dynamic) and would not recommend the McLeod hyd bearing for everyday street use. It may work great for comp use, but it did not work for me.
just my experience,
