I'm one who has used the McLeod SoftLoc. Let's be clear. The centrifugal component is an optional attachment (in the form of centrifugal weight attachments) which comes with the setup for one who judges they need it to control slippage. I've never used it as I didn't need it for my setup. There is no harsh initial engagement with a SoftLoc clutch unless you want it and can figure out with the setup how to get it. The SoftLoc clutch aims to give you quite the opposite and I can say it delivers.

I agree with yellow rose on all this based on my experience. I also understand the OP isn't concerned with the issue at this point in his build and I'm not trying to bust his thread. I just want the facts to be clear and think the OP may want to consider the advantages. I found them to be priceless in my 4-speed racing days which were some time ago. Hopefully more of those days to come soon. : )

And I agree that yellow rose probably has a lot of experience its just the way he came on about it. I don't need the information sugar coated, but I also don't want to be slapped in the face with it either.
Now I think you've approached the subject with some in my opinion very convincing words. And as you know on this form there are people coming from left and right with all kinds of kind suggestions. And as I think you are alluding to I have More pressing matters like getting a rear end in the car. I mean what would a $1,600 clutch do for me right now without a rear end? I guess I could go to the track and line up on the quarter mile with a clutch in my hand lol and run for it! Lol
Or maybe I could put another drive line loop towards the back and weld a propeller to the end of my drive shaft!? Lol
But really folks let's look at the big picture here a lot less than two years ago I brought home a $1,700 car with no interior a 318 - 7 1/4 rear end originally a slant six air conditioned car and now has been a full season doing 11 second quarter miles. just give me a year or two and more I'll get there and I'll get that clutch.
And above all that said once and said a million times this is all put in place for my fun and enjoyment and not to be taken too seriously.
DC340 thank you for your experience ! :burnout:
