Taking another page out of the book from another platform, this drivetrain setup is quite common in other vehicle platforms making 1000+ HP, and has been proven to hold a LOT of power while still driving like a factory clutch.
This is literally been my dream drivetrain setup for close to 5 years now, and it's very surreal that I'm installing it now.. It's been a long time coming.
If you're at all interested in going t56 or are even considering other options besides the factory Z32 5 speed. I would Highly suggest looking beyond the "CD00" 6 speed and going straight to this, if you're needing to swap to beefier transmission or just want something that's easier to work with and parts are readily available this is it!
In this video I go into the details of installing this McLeod twin disc clutch as well as setting the clearance for the Tilton hydraulic release bearing On a VG30-t56. Which is really no different than you would set it up on any other vehicle.

This setup I have here is the Tremec T56 Magnum XL from Bowler Transmission which is included in the Merlin Machining T56 full swap

This Mcleod RXT1200 is Brand new for the VG30 - t56 setups!
After seeing and hearing about these clutches for years from A few Local friends that use this clutch on their high horsepower Coyote and 2JZ cars... I knew it was a must-have with a t56 swap!

Stay tuned for the rest of this Transmission Swap for the Rest of the parts list going into this !!
