ram 9.5 twin disc install

[hopony]

Stainless works headers would not let the trans out of the tunnel so we had to loosen the kmember to get clearance.

Transmission finally out.

Stock vs 9.5 dual

New flywheel

All ready to go back together.

Nice, I havent heard much about the ram clutchs. Have you driven it yet?

That sucks the SW headers don't clear, although it looks like they should?? That much money, you'd figure they'd clear. Pricks.

What headers so clear?

Didn't finish it yet going back together today. If it doesn't shift after this I will be looking for an automatic.

Ended up having to loosen kmember to get it all to lean back enough wasn't too too bad.

Drove the car for the first time last night. Clutch engages very high on pedal vs stock clutch. That is going to take some time to get used to. Other than that the pedal feels slightly stiffer than stock. The car shifts very nice although I have not really beat on it yet. Also noticed that when down shifting into 2nd the shifter no longer binds when pushing it to the left. The clutch does rattle if you bog the motor.

Can't you adjust the travel of the pedal so that it engages where you want it??

Not sure if you can or not. Figured I would just get use to the difference.

There's no pedal adjustment unless you have an adjustable master cylinder.

My Mcleod felt the same way when I first installed it--it didn't catch until the very top of the pedal stroke but over the first 500 miles or so, it 'self adjusted' and started to catch more towards the middle of the stroke. It's perfect now. Give the disks/surfaces some mileage to shake hands, sniff butts, and get to know each other. Once they're properly acquainted, I think you'll be in good shape.

It was more an observation than a complaint. I am sure it will be fine.
