RAM Clutch + Boss = Fail

RAM Clutch + Boss = Fail
PSA
As I jumped in front of the Bus to try to cure the Hot Transmission balky shift which I feel was the OEM clutch not fully releasing at high RPM when HOT on the Track. We installed a RAM Dual Disc 10.5" organic clutch with AL Flywheel as a unit from RAM. THe up shot of this experiment was the RAM clutch would not re-engage at shifts over 6500 until the RPM dropped to around 6000. RAM did accept the defective unit for a refund which is the correct thing for them to do. THe purpose of this post is not to dis RAM but inform Boss owners who might be thinking about an aftermarket clutch.

While not a boss, I ran a Mcleod RXT clutch on my 2011GT that we were revving sky-high. Once the switch was made to that clutch, there were no more engagement problems. Still some issues with gear lockout, but I'm running the stock shifter assembly, and you can feel the gates move when hot on a roadcourse. Need to at least try a shifter mount next.
