Default Where can i buy a replacement ram throwout bearing?

i have a ram powergrip HD clutch in my car. it was maybe 5000 miles on it, and its only about a year old. it has NEVER been raced on. the throw out bearing is making all kinds of noise, and it stared soon after the install. and i cannot find anywhere that will sell a replacement throwout bearing for it.

i contacted RAM last year and they were not much help, they basically said they do not sell just the throwout bearing.

does anyone know where i can find one, so i can finally race my car?

thanks in advance,

-Shawn

depending on how much noise it makes, they all will start making noise after you start driving them hard.

spec sends new throwout bearings with their clutch kits though, so you might be able to get them to sell you one outright.

just an idea

Same thing happened to me with my Ram Powergrip after maybe 2-3 thousand miles. I took it to a shop because I wasn't sure what the problem was and I think they put in a stock throwout bearing??? I'm not sure on this though since it was a long time ago but haven't had a problem since which has been over 10k miles.
