Ram, Centerforce or Mcleod ???'s

I can get the Centerforce here in town for $285. I can't find Mcleod anywhere, their site doesn't work at all and I have no number to call to order one, and the Ram heavy duty clutch that I see in Summit says not to use it with slicks or race tires. So I'm guessing that it isn't really that heavy duty. Anyone know where to order the Mcleod and have the part number and phone number. And what size or part number for the throw out bearing if I get a Centerforce. I keep reading that I need one that is 5/8' longer than normal. Thanks.

I'm sorry you're having problems with McLeod's website. http://www.mcleodind.com/ seems to be redesigned and still under construction. I'd call them directly at (714) 630-2764 and ask them for a local dealer in your area. A lot of people like the Centerforce clutch, but please trust me when I say the McLeod is much better.

When you get ahold of Mc Leod ask for George,
Tell him you want the 10 1/2 -11 unit. There is nothing finer anywhere.
Oh yeah, and tell him Dyno sent you from Org.

Yep, I'm running the 11" clutch with my T5, and so are several other local guys.

And "Org" = Orange, CA. Sometimes my dad takes shortcuts on spelling.

Coool. I'm gonna call them again. I forgot to ask for George. The guy I talked to was helpfull and he just gave me distributors in my area and told me they'd be able to give me a better price than list which is what he quoted me. But the places I called didn't carry them. So can I call Mcleod and get a good deal and have "them" send it to me?
And your positive that an 11" will fit on my 1984 stock setup? And how much for the clutch, pressure plate, throwout and roller bushing. Thanks for the help.
