Product Details

The McLeod Soft Lok clutch assembly is a high-performance drag racing clutch specifically engineered for Ford FE Big Block engines (332-428 cubic inch) from 1958-1976. This complete assembly features a 10.5-inch diameter design with 1-3/8 inch pilot diameter and 10-spline configuration, compatible with 184-tooth flywheels.

Race-Proven Performance:

As the most widely used McLeod clutch among drag racers, the Soft Lok has earned its reputation with NHRA and IHRA record-holding performance. The assembly delivers exceptional launch characteristics with reduced tire spin, allowing harder acceleration off the starting line while maintaining control.

Key Features:

  • Low static pressure design for reduced pedal effort and smooth engagement
  • Adjustable spring pressure for custom tuning capability
  • Zero-balance configuration for proper engine balance
  • Sintered iron clutch disc for extreme durability and heat resistance
  • Lightweight aluminum flywheel reduces rotational mass
  • Available with counterweights for specific applications
  • High clamp force (HCF) pressure plate for maximum holding power

Complete Assembly Includes: Pressure plate, sintered iron clutch disc, and aluminum flywheel—everything needed for installation.

Important: This is a dedicated competition clutch assembly designed exclusively for drag racing applications. It is NOT recommended for street use due to its aggressive engagement characteristics and specialized tuning.
