Default Adjustable Master Cylinder Question

I am probably going to install the SPEC clutch, stage 2. Can I use the RAM adjustable master cylinder with the SPEC clutch? It's probably a stupid question but I always read that RAM says to use with RAM clucth. Thanks for any input.

Yes, the RAM master can be used with any brand of clutch.

I would get the Mcleod if I were you. The RAM is not as high quality. I just broke mine recently, so I ordered the Mcleod. Save yourself some time and money. It's rebuildable too, unlike the RAM.

Thunder Racing and Texas Speed are just a few places that carry the Mcleod stuff. Man, that adjustable m/c got expensive!

Yeah!! Tell me about it. That's why I would go with the RAM first. Mcleod is extremely expensive.

I have a Mcleod it is spotty in performance though. I've been lucky with what others are saying. Prolly gonna go with a stock adjustable this spring. ( which is what a ram MC is) Just get a stocker & make it adjustable your self.

I would stay as far away from the McLeod master as possible... it is a POS IMO. Most of the poeple that have them have had nothing but problems with them. My tranny needs to be rebuilt thanks to that POS.

I got a RAM aka stock adjustable, nothing wrong with it and it is as reliable as a stocker, only difference is some threads have been machined into the bottom of it and a different eyelet has been screwed on to make it adjustable.

alot of people have had problems bleeding the Mcleod, stick with the ram aka stock adjustable.
