ok so the deal i was getting on my southbend clutch turned out to be too good to be true and i still havnt got a new one for my rig but as have been digging deeper into looking for clutches i stumbled across a McLoud and they had alot of the same features as a south bend and i havnt heard of anyone running one, but you do how do they like it and is it good for sled pulling

McLeod has been around for a long time, built a name in drag circles for solid reliability. They can be considered for your app safely, but you need to decide if you want a pulling clutch (solid center) or you want a street clutch (sprung center). The solid is gonna be a harsher launch and shifts, but less apt to fail under pulling stresses. The sprung will absorb shock at launch and during shifts, but leaves a vunerable point in the drivetrain to be broken under pressure during a pull.
