Common complaints with factory LS clutches are an uneven pedal feel that is harder at the top and drops off significantly at the bottom of the pedal, high pedal engagement, and the diaphragm ‘sticking down’ at higher RPM.  More-->

Why should I use a dual disc clutch in my street car?

One of our most popular tech questions is ‘why should I use a dual disc in my car?’ In the past you only had a couple of options to increase the holding power of your clutch system. You could increase the static pressure, or clamp load of the clutch. This helps the holding power but can result in a heavier pedal effort.  more-->

Introducing HD series hydraulic release bearings

RAM is pleased to introduce our new HD series release bearings for severe duty street use.  These new bearings utilize a larger o-ring design with teflon backup rings that prevent overpressurizing the bearing and also provide a wiper to keep dust and debris out of the system.  All existing kits RAM offers now incorporate  this new design, and the bearing only is available under part number 78125HD.  Download the complete hydraulics catalog here!

RAM introduces our exclusive hydraulic bearing travel adjustment system

RAM is pleased to introduce our hydraulic adjustment system for late model vehicles equipped with internal slave cylinder/bearings.   Factory hydraulic systems do not allow for adjustment of the pedal position, often resulting in a high engagement point when using aftermarket clutches.  The RAM system allows you to adjust your pedal position lower to the floor for better driver comfort.  Additionally, this system will allow you to minimize the release of your clutch system for racing applications.  Some vehicles experience shifting problems at higher RPM due to overcentering, or overtravel of the clutch fingers.  By limiting this travel and setting the clutch pedal for minimum release this overtravel situation can be eliminated, restoring clean shifts at high RPM.
The RAM adjustment system can also be used with most any aftermarket internal hydraulic bearing to allow the same benefits listed above.  In these cases the bearing travel can be pre-set prior to completing the install to insure the bearing assembly will not be overtraveled, thus eliminating the possibility of prematurely wearing or damaging the bearing slave.  PN 78300.
