Mc leod

[Blacklemming]

Is there someone here that has a mc leod gearbox?

If someone has one,are you satisfied with it.

I'm planning on getting a new engine and gearbox installed and want to know if the gearbox is any good.

The tuner that is going to build the engine recommended it.

Greetings

Here is my suggestion and it is pretty generic. If McLeod actually builds the gearbox themselves, it is probably pretty good. If they outsource it, I would not touch it.

I bought some items from McLeod a while back and to this day, they still haven't gotten them correct. All I get from them is "McLeod doesn't actually make that product. It was made on the outside". Who cares? It has their name on it and they sell it. Why do I care who made it for them? That is their excuse why the products are bad and why they can't seem to fix the issues.

Should I go the tremec route then?
400 hp/650 nm torque?

With a 3.54 rear end
And 17" tires

Yes, buy it from Liberty or Bret they will modify it to shift better.

As I am looking for a tremec transmission I came along a"close ratio" trans.
It's from ford racing,but it's still a tremec.
Is this usable on the street?
Can someone please explane the difference.

Thank you

I was unaware of McLeod offering transmissions. Do you have a link to the transmission offerings?
