Performance brands McLeod and Silver Sport Transmissions received SEMA Media’s Choice Awards for their latest innovations in driveline technology at the 2026 SEMA Show. The companies are both part of the Wharton Automotive Group.
McLeod received a Media’s Choice Award for its RXT 3D Triple-Disc Clutch Kit, while Silver Sport Transmissions earned recognition for its M22-Style 4-Speed Muncie Transmission. Both products were selected for their designs and contributions to the automotive aftermarket, company officials noted in a press release.
“Winning two Media’s Choice Awards at the SEMA Show is a huge honor for our teams,” said Bob Scheid, vice president of The Wharton Automotive Group. “With the RXT 3D, we’re showing enthusiasts that you don’t have to give up street drivability to handle serious horsepower. And with the M22, we’re bringing back a legendary transmission that muscle car enthusiasts have loved for decades. These awards are a great recognition of the hard work our teams put into developing products that people actually want to drive.”
Taking Builds to the Next Level
Engineered to handle up to 1,650 hp, the McLeod RXT 3D clutch kit features three ceramic friction discs designed to deliver torque capacity without sacrificing the drivability enthusiasts expect from a street clutch. The complete bolt-in kit includes a pressure plate, three clutch discs, floater plates, flywheel, hardware and hydraulic release bearing.
Meanwhile, the M22-Style 4-speed transmission is inspired by the Muncie M22 “Rock Crusher,” capturing an old-school feel with an unmistakable character that made the original a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts.
Both products are designed to bring performance and reliability to popular muscle car applications.
