McLeod's dual disc and for that matter all the dual discs tend to be sensitive to set up. If you get the clearances wrong the disc(s) can exhibit a slight drag even though the clutch is disengaged. That slight drag will complicate shifting at higher engine speeds.

If I remember correctly McLeod asks for a 0.050" air gap when the clutch is disengaged and that gap must be evenly split between the two discs if you use their strap mounted floater. If you use a floater, like used on a slider clutch, that drives through the stands on the clutch cover bolts the clearance balance between the two discs is not an issue because the floater actually floats. The slipper clutch style floater can be a little noisy in neutral at a stop light but other than that it works fine and it is a bit easier to set up.
