Christmas Clutch Carnage

[06SRT10NR]

'15 HC with just over 64K miles. I'll just leave these here for y'all to scare the young'uns with... 'twas a slightly less that joyous post Christmas week



Edit: and as is often the case when things break, a light rain began to fall as I coasted to a stop on a less than wide, firm shoulder

Took me about a month to get used to it. Felt like I was in high school again--kinda embarrassing stalling or jerking on the release in a $70k muscle car in front of traffic... but got through it. I finally found some quiet long stretches of empty road to practice on.

I did one these in 2015 as a prototype in chads car. Had some pedal pressure

that it does... think I may have had a little air in the system, but seems to have settled down into a nice consistent feel, after 3 decent drives around in moderate-heavy traffic, playing on back roads, and a little of both, may 60-70 shifts each time out. still a little chatter starting out on a slope, otherwise beats the hell out of the oem unit

if all goes well...
I've burned up a couple screwing around, and just plain wore out a half dozen or so, but never had a clutch blow its guts out. Did out last expectations though.

Bad boyz is a rebranded Ram Clutches clutch. The only benefit of getting it from them is they already shim the TOB for you. Other than that you’re paying double for a black face vs a red one

I had a ram in my car (same exact clutch as bad boys but with a red face and cheaper), had pedal issues at first due to the people that installed it. Same tob. Make sure to use thread sealant on the fittings that go into the TOB you MUST use a thread sealer. Looks like they already did. If you have clutch disengagement issues, you can get a module from Ram clutch that allows you to set where the clutch engaged/disengages on the pedal - only way to adjust clutch engagement/disengagement on the pedal with a hydraulic TOB
