Well here's what happend last month my Ls1 got hydrolocked due to some flooding down in Abeline TX and it thru #7 & 8 rods out the side of the block. the bad thing is that i had just replaced the clutch during the 4th of July weekend i went with the RAM HD clutch set up and billet steel flywheel and also 02 slave cylinder, and also i did a cam swap i went with TSP 228R cam kit. i had put 4000 miles on all of this when the engine messed up, to make a long story short i found an LS6 engine out of an 01 Z06 vette and just got done installing it last week, yesterday was the first day i took the car out for a test drive after waiting for my computer to get re-tuned to this engine combo from TSP and my clutch slips in 5th, 6th and sometimes in 3rd, before the engine trouble i did due a few hard launches but it never sllipped or did i have any problems with it i can't understand why it will slip now after i did the engine swap. has this happend to any one else with RAM clutches?? i did bleed the slave cylinder again today and went out for another test drive and i have the same sllippage! WTF is going on here, any one has any suggestions!

 

at least you got 4000 miles out of yours...mine was just installed 1200 miles ago maybe.....mine just went out wednesday 2 days ago...im pissed off.

i called and the guy i talked to acted like oh well thats what you get for buying our shitty product..which pisses me off even more.

 

My HD lasted 8k without the shim behind the slave, reinstalled the shim and a new clutch and i bet it will last a hell of a lot longer

 

ive used the shim since day 1....
