McLeod Racing is well-known for its performance clutch components, and their Soft Lok assembly is a popular choice among drag racers looking for serious performance. This clutch kit is specifically designed for your 1996-2017 Ford Mustang with a 4.6L, 5.0L, or 5.4L engine and an 8-bolt crankshaft. It’s built to handle the demands of the drag strip, offering a unique combination of light pedal effort and a soft clutch engagement that helps you leave the starting line harder with less tire spin.

What sets the Soft Lok apart is its adjustable spring pressure and the option for counterweights, allowing you to fine-tune the clutch to your specific needs. This means you get enough holding power for the entire run without excessive wear or harshness during engagement. The kit includes a billet aluminum flywheel, an adjustable long-style pressure plate, and a sintered iron disc with a 5135 compound, all designed to work together for optimal performance on the track. It’s SFI rated, indicating it meets safety standards for racing applications, and it’s made in the USA.

While this clutch is a record-holder in NHRA and IHRA racing, it's important to note that it is not recommended for street use due to its aggressive nature. If you're building a dedicated drag car and need a clutch that can handle serious power and provide a consistent, powerful launch, this McLeod Soft Lok is a solid option.
