Default Got my Ram Powergrip HD Installed!

Hello guys, well my car has 86k miles and was on stock clutch since. Well today I had my New Ram clutch installed with new master and slave! Can I say its a whole diffrent car now!!! I know I should not get on it cause its brand new but I had to in the hwy, did a 50mph-95mph and omfg ive never felt my car pick up speed so damn good!

I am very happy so far, I got a little chatter on take off but very very little. It all depends if you slip to much but I can tell you this clutch just wants to grab, it doesnt like to be slipped lol. Now I can break my clutch in and spray a 150! before it wont even handle the 75 shot, cant wait!

Cool, try to be easy for at least 300 miles. Under 3500 shifts. Break it end so it 2 years it might still be there.

A good clutch makes our cars happy

Congrats.

I have that clutch and like he said it does not like to be slipped or you get all sorts of chatter and the car shakes. Its a on/off clutch only. Pedal was really stiff too when first installed and sucked to drive, but has gotten much better and easier. Ive got about 2k miles on mine

Yeah guys the clutch is freakin great the pedal is much stiffer than the stocker, I raced 2 buddies on it from a roll, I know I shouldnt but atleast it isnt from a dig. I gots 160miles on it and took it to the dyno last night and got great number with it on the n20 it held up incredibly good. lol.

Good stuff bro, you'll really learn to like it.

I've got about 1500-2000 miles on mine and it gets better ever mile.

Remember, Ram clutches have no break in required. According to them at least.

I didn't break mine in, but it did loosen up after about 500-600 miles.

Let me know how she holds up

ALWAYS rev-match that clutch or you're going to be sorry. I barely beat on my RAM HD and it went out after 14k miles - mostly highway. Broke it in nicely for 500mi and rarely slipped/romped on it. Only thing I did 'wrong' to it was to not revmatch, but that was rare in itself since I'm usually too lazy to downshift. My Spec 2+ is treating me very well so far though after 18k
