Frequently, clutch problems are related to adjustment and/or release system malfunction.

Before removing the suspected warranty clutch from the vehicle, refer to the vehicle service manual for specific information on operation and adjustment of the release system to correctly test and adjust for proper release. If you cannot resolve the problem and must remove the clutch from the vehicle, use the following guidelines to determine if your clutch qualifies for warranty status.

Warranty Status Inspection and Evaluation Checklist.

Pressure Plate                                                                                       

  • Are lever tips worn or grooved?                                                                     
  • Are there burn or heat spots on the friction surface?                                                                 
  • Is there lubricant or coolant on the pressure plate?                                       

Disc

  • Is the friction material burned, broken, or excessively worn?
  • Is the disc carrier or drive hub broken?
  • Have any of the damper springs been forced or broken from the disc?
  • Is there lubricant or coolant on the disc?

Release Bearing

  • Is the bearing face worn or scored?
  • Has the lubricant been thrown out of the bearing?
  • Has the bearing turned blue?

The above listed items are what we look for in evaluating a warranty product.  If you answered yes to any of the above questions, this product will not qualify for warranty and should not be returned.
If your clutch components do not show any of the above problems the clutch is probably serviceable and there are other release system or flywheel thickness problems that need correction. (Removing more than 0.025” when resurfacing the flywheel will require installation of a flywheel shim to bring the friction surface back to its original position in relation to the release bearing.)

If after checking and repairing/replacing the clutch release components and/or flywheel, you are unable to obtain proper clutch operation, the complete set including the release bearing should be sent to RAM freight prepaid for factory inspection. You must include the original sales receipt and a receipt for resurfacing your flywheel. If the clutch set is found to be defective RAM will repair or replace the defective component(s) at no charge. If the unit is found to be not defective, you will be advised the cost of repair or replacement. All freight charges are the responsibility of the customer.
