Default Ram clutch life question

I've been runnung a ram 910 sintered iron disk with a 402 pressure plate. How long has yours lasted? Mine is beginning to slip in 6th if I punch it. I've had it for 2 1/2 years and 30k miles.
Thanks Paul

Mine only did that when my rear main spat some oil on it. Do you have a seal leak?


3k miles and holding up fine

I'm not sure? I haven't noticed any oil leaks. Here's a question, since it is sintered iron and not organic, can it be cleaned? If I take everything apart and notice a leak and the clutch has plenty of life left, can it be reused? I know some clutches can be ruined if it gets drenched in oil.

I run a Ram powergrip, have over 10k miles on it and it still grabs perfectly. 30k miles damn I will be very happy if my clutch lasts that long lol.
