The first test drive is in the bag--just a brief jaunt around the neighborhood, stayed close to home "just in case", but so far, so good.

The pedal effort is very comfortable, and as far as "driveability", I can already state that this is by far the most street-friendly clutch I've had in the car so far. Zero chatter, even in reverse, very easy to--for lack of better term--ride, not like the previous race clutches which were (to varying degrees) more like an "on/off' switch.

I didn't lean on it at all, so as far as holding power goes, the verdict's still out on that. However, should this clutch perform as advertised, I will officially consider myself a McLeod convert.

More soon--weather permitting.

This clutch definitely hits harder than its predecessors.

Gonn'a have to watch it pounding it on the shifts--that poor 12 bolt's already hacked out parts once.

Pretty sure the Legend trans in the Chevelle is on it's way out. It's making some very unhappy noises and there's a new driveline vibration that definitely isn't engine related. Not sure where I'm going to go from here.
