1st HPDE on my new LPX Clutch - 5 laps of kicking ass then clutch pedal goes to floor and stays there

Your LETHAL PERFORMANCE CLUTCH should have been replaced by LETHAL.

I agree - I started a claim with Lethal, but they told me I had to send it to McLeod because that's who makes it. So I did. I'm still being civil, but If neither Lethal nor McLeod steps up to the plate and replaces this no questions asked, you can be sure I will share my experience.

What’s the clutch disc look like?
My pressure plate looked very similar when the clutch disc came apart and wedged it’s self up against the flywheel.

I don't have a pic but my mechanic said the disc looked ok.

That's good to hear! So did McLeod give any indication as to what caused the failure?

If you do some digging you'll find premature failures with a lot of the aftermarket clutch options. I'm not sure your safe with any of the twin disc options. I did a lot of looking around after my initial issues with the lpxhd and I found some random issues with most. I'm hoping the lpxhd lasts a while cause of not I have no idea which one to roll the dice on next time.

Thanks for that info. I have never had twin disc. So I might roll the dice on whatever’s on sale soon. This stock clutch isn’t like my hot tune.

No - They just sent me the repaired clutch.

I went with Lethal because they had the kevlar plate vs. the organic McCleod. That said, I'm happy with the RST that is in there now

Great then you are the guy I need to talk to.
