Product Details

The McLeod Soft Lok clutch assembly is a proven competition clutch system designed specifically for drag racing applications with Ford 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L engines (1996-2017). This unit is NOT recommended for street use—it is purpose-built for maximum performance at the drag strip.

Key Features:

  • 11-inch aluminum flywheel for reduced rotating mass
  • 8-bolt crankshaft mounting for 0-balance applications
  • 1-1/16" x 10 spline disc configuration
  • 164-tooth flexplate ring gear
  • Adjustable spring pressure for tuning launch characteristics
  • Available with counterweights for balance adjustment
  • Sintered iron disc for maximum grip and durability

Performance Benefits:

  • Low static pressure delivers light pedal effort for consistent staging
  • Soft engagement characteristics reduce wheel spin off the line
  • Harder launches with improved 60-foot times
  • NHRA and IHRA record-holding design trusted by professional racers

The complete assembly includes a pressure plate, sintered iron clutch disc, and aluminum flywheel. The Soft Lok's adjustable design allows racers to fine-tune clutch engagement to match track conditions, tire selection, and power levels for optimal performance.
