My new ram clutch sucks nuts...

[98blackstallion]

Ok first off i had my clutch replaced about a month an a half ago with a ram premiem stock replacement clutch kit. I had my brother in law install the clutch because i know and i have seen how good he is at it. I broke the clutch in for 600 miles before ever getting on it. Now i can take off from a start and the car starts to buck on me and then it quits. sometimes it bucks and others it doesnt. After he installed the clutch it engaged at the floor almost and now it engages the same place my worn out stock one did and it concerns me. When I take off hard from a stop 1-2 squeeks at me and same goes for the next 2 shifts if I am shifting hard. I have no clue as to what could cause this and neither does my brother in law and he is to busy to look at it right now.. What do you think is wrong guys? any help will be appreciated. Oh yeah the car is stock other than a k and n filter and a borla side exit exhaust.

Did he have the flywheel turned when changed the clutch? If I were in your shoes I wouldn't even take the time to troubleshoot that clutch. I'd go buy a Ford motorsport HD clutch at minimum and have the FW turned if it wasn't before... if you still have the same problem. Then I'd check the cable or the fork, but its not likely to be either of those two->yet also not impossible.

I highly recommend a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch.

it could be a worn clutch cable or clutch quadrent(these are plastic from the factory....
there is a possiblity of relearning your launch technique

I'm just sayin FMS HD cause if he had his brother or whoever do it and he bought a ram oem then he's prolly looking to save some cash... I wouldn't put a centerforce in a stock car anyways, but at least you know a Heavy Duty motorsport clutch should hold.

my car is a daily driver.........I higly recommend Centerforce Dual Friction....With the Steeda Double Hook Quadrant and Firewall Adjuster. And be DONE with your clutch problems like me....

any other clutch is uncivilized.

JUNK IMO
