McLeod Racing: Over 50 Years of Performance Driveline Engineering

Few names in the performance aftermarket carry as much weight as McLeod Racing. Founded in 1971, McLeod has spent more than five decades earning the trust of performance automotive, light truck, and racing enthusiasts worldwide. The brand's reputation is built on a simple but demanding standard: produce the most innovative and highest-quality clutch and driveline components available, at every level of performance.

McLeod's product range spans everything from bolt-in street replacement clutches to race-ready systems engineered to handle up to 3,000 horsepower — making the brand one of the few that genuinely serves both the weekend cruiser and the professional drag racer in equal measure. In fact, McLeod has established itself as a supplier to Mopar Performance and Ford Motor Company, and even designed the flywheels used in the 2000 Cobra R and 2003–2004 Cobras — a level of OEM trust that speaks directly to the precision behind every component they build.

In 2008, professional NHRA driver and entrepreneur Paul Lee acquired McLeod Racing, driving an expansion into new markets and applications while preserving the brand's legendary standards for excellence. Today, McLeod's California-based operation continues to push boundaries while covering an enormous range of vehicles and power levels.

A Complete Driveline Solution

What sets McLeod apart from many clutch brands is the breadth of their lineup. Their clutch and flywheel kits pair matched disc and flywheel components engineered to work together from the outset — eliminating compatibility guesswork and delivering consistent, predictable engagement. For builders who prefer to spec their own combination, McLeod's standalone clutch kits run the gamut from smooth organic street discs to aggressive cerametallic and twin-disc race units, with the legendary RST and RXT twin-disc designs remaining benchmarks in the segment decades after their introduction.

Complementing the clutch lineup is McLeod's extensive clutch flywheel selection, available in aluminum, steel, nodular iron, and chromoly — each material optimized for specific applications and performance goals. Where other brands stop there, McLeod rounds out the driveline picture with hydraulic components: their clutch release bearings include both standard and hydraulic throwout styles covering a wide range of early and late-model applications, while their clutch hydraulic hoses and complete conversion kits deliver the precision fluid control needed for responsive, fade-free clutch operation.

Whether you are building a reliable daily driver, a street-strip muscle car, or an all-out race machine, McLeod Racing offers the depth and engineering expertise to complete your driveline with confidence.
