KaBoooom.....Clutch pics.

The RAM disc is an awsome piece of work. It had over 200 hard passes, track racing, and lots of regular street mileage on it. It just finally had enough. Down shifted on the highway, nothing crazy and heard it come apart. Luckily it limped itself back close to home. I ended up pulling it up the hill. It cracked the bell housing in the process of coming apart but an easy replacement. Enjoy the pics.

That is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly! Are you going to go back witht he same clutch? Did you say it was made by Ram? Do you have an undamaged picture of it?

It's a 6puc clutch. I will use this extra stock one I have laying around. If I don't use it now I never will. It was just the RAM disc. Like I said it handled lots of racing and had great streetablity. If I didn't have a stocker here I would use RAM again.

I understand it's a Ram brand, but did it look like this:

You gotta stop resting your left foot on it when you drive

Damn Gus, nice kill!

Those are some bandwidth sucking photos, bro.

Hstlr · May 8th, 2006, 04:03 PM

Thats crazy! Lots of torque you have there. The bell housing is easily repairable? Do they weld it back together?

looks scary! your luck it didn't make in side the car! I've heard of some people losing there legs and shit. I wonder if they make a sfi bell housing for the viper. I guess I can do a little search.

Just cracked mine the exact same way. Why oh why did that dowl pin have to go on that damn week little tab.

DynoDaddy · July 2nd, 2007, 05:08 PM

I don't think I could live without my legs, so I installed this unit into the car the last time I had it apart.

DD,

That's used by Drag Racers quite often, but what about daily driving? Pro's / Con's, Long term effects?

Joe and I rarely ever agree-- but that is a good idea!!

DynoDaddy · July 3rd, 2007, 08:45 AM

I have a tranny cooler so I have not noticed any negative effects.
