I just got my RST twin from McLeod, and will install it shortly.

I also sent my TKO-600 out to George Rockland to have the Liberty kit installed with the carbon fiber blocker rings.

Red Roberts said that the 11-1/2" single that I had originally is not a good choice for the TKO-600, and George agreed. The disc diameter seems to have a lot to do with the inertia at high rpms, and George described the TKO-600 as "a truck transmission"...lol

I will post again once it's in with feedback.

Default Hay Jerry run any clutchflite

Jerry Clayton We are both from about the stone age and wonder if you tryed a clutch flite That was hot thing is the 60's and early 70's. Couple of guys played with them, never got a good leave time each run but a kick down the track with a manual valve body trans. Always thought that a 4 speed trans would work better. Rick l.

Unless someone is running a flywheel that only has an 11.5/12 pattern on it, I always recommend an 11" pressure plate or smaller. With the variety of discs and plates out there, there are plenty of choices that can hold any amount of horsepower without adding extra weight to the back of the crankshaft.
