HELP: Ram clutch slipping I have a 910 disc, 402 p.p., (what i think is a 1055 f.w.), upgraded slave and t.o. bearing. along with Mcleod adj. master
Transmission was pulled due to usual 3rd and 4th gear problems.
Trans was rebuilt with viper internals.
Trans was reinstalled.
Now the clutch slips. I didn't touch the clutch once during removal nor installation. The master was bled extensivley, and there is no air whatsoever in the system.
The clutch didnt slip ANY before the removal, now it does, why?
TIA,
Dane

Possibly? What is the likelyhood of fluid getting on the clutch during the bleeding process.
If there was fluid on the disc, what all exactly would need to be replaced? Disc and flywheel or could I just get the wheel turned.

I personally don't like the GM design, where if you build up hydraulic pressure and crack the valve, it goes pfft! and sprays fluid everywhere - and since it's spraying against a socket, it could shoot back up in to the bellhousing. I could see it *maybe* happening. Oughta be some little splooge plate in there or somethin'. 
Anyhow, if it's slipping, it needs to come out. I'd take it apart, and inspect the pressure plate and flywheel. I don't know if I'd necessarily resurface them or not... Depends on how they look. You might be able to just have new pads put on your clutch disc, or just get a new disc from Ram (me personally, I'd probably just get a new disc and call it good).
