RAM Powergrip Clutch Set, 10 x 1 1/16-10 Spline, Diaphragm

Diaphragm style pressure plate is a direct replacement for the 7550-5K and 6K using the same Long style pressure plate mounting pattern. Use of a Diaphragm style clutch makes the clutch easier to depress and keep depressed while still maintaining a similar or greater clamping force. Kit includes pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing and alignment tool. RAM clutch sets have a 5 year / 50,000 mile limited warranty (proof of flywheel resurfacing is required).
As horsepower levels increase along with more aggressive use of your vehicle, RAM Powergrip performance clutch kits are a great option for applications up to 550 horsepower. Powergrip clutch kits utilize the same increased clamp load pressure plates as our other performance level kits. These kits also include an 8 spring center hub clutch disc with alternating urethane coated springs that increase the rigidity and durability of the disc. The Powergrip facings are a combination of steel backed organic facing on the flywheel side and RAM 900 series metallic friction on the pressure plate side. This combination provides an excellent blend of street driveability and increased holding capacity for vehicles that see more aggressive use on the street along with an occasional trip to the racetrack. Some chatter may occur if the clutch is engaged at lower engine RPM or in vehicles with shallow rear gearing. Powergrip performance clutch kits include the increased clamp load pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing (where applicable), and alignment tool. For vehicles that see more track time than street, consider a RAM Powergrip HD clutch kit, or one of the many RAM street dual disc clutch models.
Features:
Increased clamp load pressure plate with comfortable pedal effort.
8 spring center hub clutch disc with alternating urethane coated springs.
Steel backed organic friction material on the flywheel side.
RAM 900 series metallic friction material on the pressure plate side.
Crisp, clean engagement with a balance of driveability and holding power.
For applications UP TO 550 horsepower.

You must resurface your flywheel prior to the installation of any clutch and replace your pilot bearing (7600). Check flywheel for signs of heat spots, warping or cracks and replace any questionable ones. new flywheels, including SFI certified flywheels can be found in the engine section or by searching for flywheel. It is possible to install a 10.5 inch clutch in place of any 10 inch clutch as the Long style pressure plate mounting bolt pattern is the same. It is advisable to us thread locker on the pressure plate mounting bolts and torque to spec in the proper sequence.

See 7563-1AK, 7563-1BK for mounting hardware options.
