Big thumbs up to RAM I had a problem with my 402/6130 setup last Friday that ended up being the Disk welding itself to the flywheel.https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...c;f=2;t=005021
The same day I posted it I got an E-mail from Mike at RAM saying he wanted me to send the setup back to inspect it.I sent it back Monday and he took a look at it.Said that it shouldn't of done that and is sending me a new setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> That is awesome customer service <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
Just want to say Thanks Mike <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I still feel ripped if they know that this is a problem with these setups and we get screwed in the end. If this happens to me I still need to pay to have the new clutch installed....again.

Re: Big thumbs up to RAM Hmmmm! I haven't had any problems with mine at all and I am approaching 2000 miles but only 2 passes on ET STREETS so far. I did hear from Rapid Motorsports about the 6130/402 not being suited for nitrous usage and there was at least one case where nitrous was used. Then another case where an installation gone bad took place(I believe the shims were not used) and that caused a problem. I too have the 6130/402, wonder if I could just have the 910 disk swapped in place of the 6130?

The shims weren't put in because I had instructions that came with the VDS kit that said NOT to use them in a street setup. The guy installing the clutch even verified this with RAM before he did it. I dont have the VDS system anymore. I just put in the regular 402PP.
The gesture to give a good price on the new kit is a nice one but you have to understand the hell and money I went through to get a clutch that worked right. Some people have not had the fusing problems and some havent. I honestly believe that RAM doesnt know whats causing it or that there are too many varibles with these stupid clucth setups (The way GM designed them).

Re: Big thumbs up to RAM I ran my clutch hard.About 25 passes and 2k miles.The funny thing was it froze on a daily drive on my stock tires <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> I was being a little abusive when it went,but at least it was 1 mile from my house <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Changing clutches for me is no big deal.I can do it in my sleep now since I've gone through 2 clutches and 1 tranny so far this year <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Big thumbs up to RAM 9T9, you are pretty much right. We have used the 6130 disc for 22 YEARS and the LS1 apps are the first time we EVER had the disc do this.
My INFERENCE is that the flywheel surface is getting so hot that the disc material is literally melting to the flywheel, and when the clutch sits engaged for a while it just stays there... By wicking more heat away from the flywheel, or getting more cool down time between hard runs, the problem will go away...
900 series seems to dissipate this heat much quicker.

Re: Big thumbs up to RAM Mike, When my clutch goes wether it be from just wear or the possibility of it fusing (I know many people have NOT had this problem) I will still get another RAM. From the fact that you have stood behind your product and have offered people who have had problems help and discounts if needed. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Re: Big thumbs up to RAM i went to the track last night for the first time on this clutch and for the first time with ET streets. i launched at 3700 rpm and the clutch slipped and is was slipping throgu the gears.
is there a fix for this or do i have to get a new setup? i am using the 402/6130 setup.
