RAM offers more options for 1982-97 Camaro and Firebird V8 engines use the same 10.5 inch clutch system 1982-92, although the flywheels change over in 1986 to the later model 1 piece rear main seal.  1993 was the introduction of the ‘pull style’ clutch systems in these cars.  RAM offers both conventional pull style kits as well as a unique push style conversion system that eliminates the factory fork and external slave and replaces them with an internal hydraulic release bearing.  Get the clutch system that best suits your application and anticipated use!

 

lt1 push conversion systems

Complete with flywheel, bearing, and hardware!

1993–1997 GM F-body vehicles are equipped from the factory with a T56 six-speed transmission and a pull-style clutch system. RAM has engineered a complete push-style clutch conversion system that replaces the factory pull-style setup with a more conventional, service-friendly design.

This all-inclusive system converts the clutch to a push-style configuration and includes a high-performance pressure plate, clutch disc, billet steel flywheel, and internal hydraulic release bearing. By eliminating the factory clutch fork and external slave cylinder, the system provides a cleaner, more modern clutch actuation solution.

Each kit is supplied with all required hydraulic lines and adapter fittings, allowing the system to connect directly to the factory master cylinder for a true bolt-in installation. Standard configurations featuring 300 Series organic friction are ideal for street-driven builds up to 450 horsepower, offering smooth engagement and excellent drivability.

For higher-output combinations, 900/300 Series Powergrip clutch discs are available and rated for up to 550 horsepower, while 900 Series Powergrip HD metallic options support up to 650 horsepower for more aggressive street and performance applications.

In addition to factory F-body installations, these RAM push-style clutch systems are also an excellent choice for retrofit builds utilizing a 1993–1997 T56 transmission, providing a versatile and proven solution for both restorations and performance swaps.

Concept 9.5 With Flywheel

A Dual Disc Solution for your Push Style Conversion

For high-horsepower Camaro and Firebird builds using push-style T56 conversion systems, the RAM Force 9.5 Dual Disc Clutch delivers exceptional holding power in a compact, proven design. This system features an industry-leading 2,000 lb clamp load—the highest available in the 9.5-inch dual disc market—providing unmatched torque capacity for serious performance applications.

The Force 9.5 utilizes RAM’s unique dual-hub disc configuration, combining a sprung hub top disc with a solid hub bottom disc. This layout provides a strong, positive interface with the transmission, resulting in quiet and controlled engagement.

When equipped with organic friction facings, the RAM Force 9.5 supports builds up to approximately 800 horsepower with excellent drivability. For maximum performance, metallic friction configurations are available and rated for up to 1,000 horsepower, making the Force 9.5 an ideal choice for high-output Camaro, Firebird, Trans Am, LS swap, and retrofit T56 applications.
