my clutch is beyond slipping
the car cant even move now no matter how high i rev the engine, it just spins as if it is neutral

is the ram clutch from summit a good replacement? i dont think i need an incredibly strong clutch, im not making that much power(mods are in the sig)

what clutches are you guys using, and how hard is it to install a new one?

thanks for any input

 

btw i did a search and i didnt really come up with much that was relevant to what im looking for, just stuff about centerforce dual friction clutches and like waht kind of a clutch to get for a 383, etc.

 

I've used about every brand of clutch there is, I can recall B-W, Ram, hayes, McLeod, CF, and some others over the years. Every single one, without exception, has worked well (Ram included). The installation makes the most difference: leaving no corners cut, getting everything perfect just once, makes it stay like that for 60,000 miles or more. That means new pilot bearing, grease in the right places but nowhere else, resurface or replace the flywheel, replace the clutch fork if it's worn, same for the clutch gear bearing retainer. And so forth. Anything that's not perfect, will come back and bite you in the shorts.

 

I installed a Centerforce Dual Friction. I love it ! It actually lightend up the pedal, not sure if thats the clutch or pilot, throwout bearing or what.
And man does it grab at high RPM's. I highly recommend it, having said that thou, I have never tried any of the other brands.

 

ok thanks guys
i think im gonna go with the ram clutch set and the ram flywheel
i'll do my best to make the install go perfectly, i know where to go if i need help

 

make sure you have a deep 15mm socket and swivel head one tranny bolt it gonna need it

 

i have the tools dont worry....however, i think i might have it installed by a shop because to be honest im really not that good of a mechanic and i dont want to mess up something that is difficult to get to and expensive and very important

 

take my advice get the centerforce dual friction

 

lol i just put a new cluthc in cause i went form a 700r4 to a t5 but i just got my at checker got a liftime limted warenty and balh blah blah. i dunno how well it works but it came with eveyrthing i need piolt bushing thorwout bering presureplate for like 149.99 so like 157 somethign after tax. firned has one says it works really well but i duno behind my 350 who knows. lol but have fun it really isn't that hard.
