I just recieved my RAM Powergrip HD clutch and was wondering before I put it in...

This is a odd question, but...

For all the people who drive largers clutches: RAM HD, Spec 3 or 4, cartek, etc, etc.

What is the proper way to drive big clutches? I know your not suppose to slip the clutch alot.

Anyone have any tips or pointers to extend the life of the clutch?



example: When I take off - I blip the throttle a couple times then ease off the clutch.


I just want to make sure I don't cause premature failure on the clutch because of driver error.

From what I hear, strong clutches dont live long if slipped a lot.

Avoid slipping at all costs. They kind of force you to drive more aggressively. Hit your optimal launch rpms (for my car with a cam its about 2k for normal driving) and release the clutch as fast as you can without burning out. Ram has a bunch of information on their website about how to drive a manual car as to extend the life of your clutch.
