PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: McLeod’s RST Twin Disc Clutch Kit for the 2015-23 2.3L Ecoboost Mustang
Once your build starts making real power, the factory clutch becomes a liability. The McLeod RST Twin Disc Clutch Kit is engineered for high-horsepower street cars that need serious torque capacity without sacrificing drivability. This is a street-focused twin disc clutch that delivers smooth engagement, consistent bite, and the confidence to put power to the pavement every time.

BARKER WITH A BITE
When a good portion of your life has been immersed in Pro Mod, Pro Stock, Top Sportsman and other forms of drag racing, it’s likely those interests will carry over to other, similar interests. And so it is that many legendary racers end up building what often turns out to be milder versions of the vehicles and engines that were so instrumental in their lives. Just imagine the knowledge they could apply.

GET IT HANDLED
Before the advent of the “smoothie look,” people were slicking down the lines of their cars and trucks in numerous ways, and shaving door handles was one of the more popular mods. Today the trend is to fit later-model door handles rather than no door handles at all. This still provides a simple way to clean up your vehicle with very little effort, yet retains the convenience of manually opening the door. If you have the patience, talent and imagination, you can borrow the parts from a donor car or truck and fit them to your own project, thereby achieving a cool, smooth look that will be unique to your vehicle.

This isn’t some warmed-over rebuild. This is a Chevrolet-engineered, factory-remanufactured performance transmission, built with high-output crate engines in mind—including LS-series V8s and traditional small-block Chevy engines. It’s based on the 4L65-E/4L70-E family but leveled up with durability upgrades that let it confidently handle up to 650 lb.-ft. of torque—without breaking a sweat.
Built for Power. Tuned for the Street.
Chevy Performance didn’t just refresh this thing—they gave it a full workout. Inside, you’ll find five-pinion gearsets, a heat-treated stator shaft, and an induction-hardened turbine shaft built to take punishment. An eight-plate 3-4 clutch pack and high-strength input housing help it grab and hold power where lesser transmissions wave the white flag.
Add in a larger 2-4 band, a high-capacity servo, and performance-calibrated valve body, and you’ve got a unit that shifts hard, holds torque, and stays alive even when you’re giving it the beans.
The Gear Ratios You Want
With a first gear at 3.06, second at 1.62, and a highway-friendly 0.70 overdrive, the 4L75-E hits that sweet spot between burnout launches and comfortable cruise RPMs. It’s got the guts of a race-ready trans but with street manners—and it’s compact enough to fit where a 4L80-E just won’t go.
Think REMAN Means Used? Think Again
This REMAN unit from Chevrolet Performance isn’t just refurbished—it’s battle-tested. You get OEM quality, GM-backed durability, and performance upgrades that often surpass brand-new builds. No core return. No guesswork. Just a fully dialed-in transmission ready to bolt in and blast down the road.
Bolt-In Confidence
You’ll need an electronic controller to run this beast—pick one based on whether you’re running fuel injection or a carburetor setup. And if you’re using a Gen V LT engine, you’ll want the appropriate bellhousing kit. Either way, this unit gives you modern control with old-school toughness.
In Stock and Going Fast
These SuperMatic 4L75-E REMAN transmissions are flying off the shelves at Gandrud Performance Parts. If you’re planning an LS swap or tired of watching your old trans cry every time you hit the throttle, now’s the time to upgrade.

Because let’s be real—when you drop the hammer, you want your transmission to say, “Is that all you’ve got?” Not “Please make it stop.”
