Performance Sets and
Components
Due to the intended use
of these products, warranty is limited to 30 days for correct
fit to the specified vehicle, provided there are NO modifications or changes
to driveline, tire & wheel diameter, or release mechanisms from factory
original components, except as specified as necessary by RAM, and parts are
installed as specified by RAM, and any recommended accessory items have been
installed. Since this product is a
consumable item, no warranty is offered or made for durability or specific
performance. This product is intended for installation by qualified installers
and hobbyists. RAM will not be liable for installation labor or vehicle downtime
if it becomes necessary to return alleged warranty items to the factory for
evaluation.
Replacement
Sets
RAM Replacement Sets are
warranted for 12 months or 12,000 miles (Whichever occurs first) against
manufacturing defects when installed in an unmodified in any way, factory stock
passenger car used exclusively for daily transportation. No warranty is offered
for commercial, off road, street performance, or racing use. This warranty
requires resurfacing the flywheel before installation and any items submitted
for warranty evaluation must be accompanied by proof this procedure has been
performed. The warranty specifically
excludes damage from faulty installation, improper adjustment, physically
damaged or broken parts, burned friction surfaces, or prematurely worn parts due
to overload or misuse. This product is intended for installation by
qualified installers and hobbyists. RAM will not be liable for installation
labor or vehicle downtime if it becomes necessary to return alleged warranty
items to the factory for evaluation.
Frequently, clutch problems
are related to adjustment and/or release system malfunction.
Before removing the suspected
warranty clutch from the vehicle, refer to the vehicle service manual for
specific information on operation and adjustment of the release system to
correctly test and adjust for proper release. If you cannot resolve the problem
and must remove the clutch from the vehicle, use the following guidelines to
determine if your clutch qualifies for warranty status.
Warranty
Status Inspection and Evaluation Checklist.
Pressure
Plate
Are lever tips worn or
grooved?
Are there burn or heat spots
on the friction surface?
Is there lubricant or coolant
on the pressure plate?
Disc
Is the friction material
burned, broken, or excessively worn?
Is the disc carrier or drive
hub broken?
Have any of the damper springs
been forced or broken from the disc?
Is there lubricant or coolant
on the disc?
Release
Bearing
Is the bearing face worn or
scored?
Has the lubricant been thrown
out of the bearing?
Has the bearing turned blue?
The above listed items are
what we look for in evaluating a warranty product.
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, this product will not
qualify for warranty and should not be returned.
If your clutch components do
not show any of the above problems the clutch is probably serviceable and there
are other release system or flywheel thickness problems that need correction.
(Removing more than 0.025” when resurfacing the flywheel will require
installation of a flywheel shim to bring the friction surface back to its
original position in relation to the release bearing.)
If after checking and
repairing/replacing the clutch release components and/or flywheel, you are
unable to obtain proper clutch operation, the complete set including the release
bearing should be sent to RAM freight prepaid for factory inspection. You must
include the original sales receipt and a receipt for resurfacing your flywheel.
If the clutch set is found to be defective RAM will repair or replace the
defective component(s) at no charge. If the unit is found to be not defective,
you will be advised the cost of repair or replacement. All freight charges are
the responsibility of the customer.
