I have a lightweight flywheel with very short ratios, definitely not an easy driving experience but it gets the job done, thanks for the quick explanation 🙌

Nice information

Very Nice!

Is common after having a shop replace a clutch assembly and flywheel for their to be scraping noise when the clutch is engaged?

5:17 The clutch hub has 2 steps on it. shouldnt you measure and subtract both?

I run a ram aluminum flywheel on the street and yes you have to be an artist to drive it but it was the best investment in my vett and i highly recommend it life at the Bloody knuckle garage

Great information.

What is you have stock type bellhouse. And 1.7 / 1"/34 co-laps is to big tall. And needs to be shorter 1.5" or little shorter. chevy 350 1st gen.

I need something for my 1994 f150 with the 5.8. how does ZF5 in there taking it out to put a t5 go? Something like that work with my master cylinder I have already in the truck?

Great info .. Thanks

How important is the oring on the inside of piston sleeve that contacts the front bearing retainer of the transmission? I see it's not mentioned in this video to replace

What song is this?

Do these clutches have any balance marks to align it with the balance mark on the flywheel?

How much HP/TQ can a LO Pro 8 and 10 hold

Bad customer support

I called you guys last week. Left my name and cell number. No call back, yet. Looking to buy a setup from you for my 1996 corvette.

I went with the RST twin disc. It's a street car and I wanted to be able to slip it off the line a bit

Time to order my parts from RAM

Thanks Ram for my new flywheel. Very smooth.

You just need to find the appropriate slot on your motherboard

Ran your double disc in my sportsman asphalt car, always hooked up and never had a problem with it.

I’m going with composite steel and aluminum. The clutch is a composite as well. My logic, I don’t know dick about cars so I go in between.

I know you don't want to give out every trade secret, but I was honestly hoping to see how the flywheel is created from the billet stage forward. I recognize the polishing compound, but what are you quenching (if you will) the parts in? Is that a corrosion preventive substance, or a solvent like mineral spirit?

So I have been running the RAM conversion on my modified LT4 for about 2 years now. The noise at idle is subdued if you purchase a shim from the ZF Doc Bill B. The noise is from the elimination of the dual mass flywheel and not the RAM conversion itself. The transmission gears cause this noise and it was eliminated by the use of the DMF. The gear noise is not harmful to the transmission or clutch assembly it is just annoying as hell. The shim will definitely quiet the noise down but don't expect it to be as quiet as stock either. I did not drill a hole in my bell housing as was instructed by RAM for the installation of the hydraulic throw out bearing. I instead installed the transmission slowly and guided the new hydraulic throw out bearing with my fingers and double checked alignment with a borescope camera. Tip using a steel input shaft works best! I also purchased the 900 series disk sintered iron with the steel flywheel. This clutch grabs hard but has some chatter from a dead stop. You can sometimes bypass the chatter if you take off at low rpms just off idle or on the opposite end drop the clutch (not something I like to do). The 300 series clutch is much more street friendly like stock!! Just an FYI about changing out a clutch on a ZF tranny C4, I've done it two times in a row! My stock clutch (I purchased the car new so it has my use/abuse) wore very unevenly, I have driven manuals for many years so this is not my driving style that caused premature clutch wear. I converted to a new Spec single mass flywheel (my stock DMF had too much play), new stock pressure plate that was measured/machined by ZF Doc, new stock type sprung disk , new stock TO bearing, etc. This second setup slipped from day one and just kept getting worse. I had to pull it with just 700 miles on it! Now that was a pain in the butt and a lot of money out the window. So to me the RAM conversion is the way I should have gone and it is way better than the stock pull type setup. With the RAM conversion you eliminate the clutch fork, the wear prone ball stud, the hydraulic slave cylinder and the imported throw out bearing. You keep the clutch master cylinder and bleeding is way easier to do than the stock setup. I am not sure why GM did the pull type pressure plate other than for packaging constraints. It certainly does not wear well at least in my case and other friends clutches that I have witnessed on other C4 Vettes. Also RAM is very helpful in the selection of the clutch and flywheel as well as answering any questions. I am in no way affiliated with RAM at all. I do appreciate the fact that RAM makes a quality product for our old C4 Vettes when everyone else is either making off shore junk or they stop producing parts all together.

I appreciate this tech support being available. I'm going to try a RAM 78125HD and needed to know if a Tilton 75-750U would be a good match. It appears to be right on the money with a 3/4" bore and a 1.1" stroke.

I’m just blowed away by Ram clutches lol. Sent me their HD clutch good for 600 HP but the pressure plate was junk. It was the same pressure plate used for like a 4.0 Jeep. I’m serious, you can’t make this shit up.

Pull type clutches are superior to push type in terms of geometry. More aftermarket folks should offer pull type.

Why are you using white instead of yellow thread tape

For a Mustang all you need is a minibike clutch

Terrible quality from this brand Chinese crap mine broke apart after 1000 miles

Good luck finding instructions or information about the part you purchased from RAM all you get is a broken QR code and a sticker .

What flywheel is used with the ram clutch?

Really appreciate this Video. Very Smart design

Probably the hardest way of measuring, your better bolting bellhousing, clutch and flywheel to engine then then measure

Straight to the point awesome thanks you !!!

sweet!

Thanks I run one on my dirt car. It has a small leek. I got a new one from ram but I still want to fix my old one for a back up

It would be nice if someone would answer the phone so we could ask a question

I have the RAM clutches aluminum flywheel in my manual 392 hemi challenger, I think it’s about 4.5 to 5 lbs lighter than the stock steel one. It’s been great so far, don’t have any lugging at low speeds in first gear and the engine revs up much quicker. It went from feeling like a heavy engine to feeling more like a light engine if that makes any sense. Acceleration definitely feels quicker vs the stock steel flywheel

This brings me a lot of hope. As I have been through a whirlwind of trying setups for this ZF after my DM FW went out. Does this kit reduce some of the gear noise from a single mass FW conversion with the pull style pressure plate?

What are your requirements for breaking in the 955HD model clutch? I’ve had the clutch for 2 weeks now. I’m staying under 4K in my mustang GT.

Your camera man sounds like Darth Vader . Awesome clutch , looks like jewelry .

Had the 955HD installed in my 2015 GT… still doing the break-in… but the clutch feels soooooo much better that stock!

Just ordered your Part Number: 609 98955HD MPN: 98955HD for my 2015 Mustang GT from Steeda, hope you have it in stock.🤞Do you recommended 500 mile stop & go break in? Thanks

How much power can this hold in single and dual disc form.

Great video, I have just bought a Ram aluminium flywheel for my new 289 engine build, high quality flywheel.

I smoked my ram clutch in 5000 miles, moving to spec stage 2+ ...
