recently installed a ram hdx clutch, worked good for a couple hundred miles. now after the car is up to temp the clutch will not fully release. called ram and they said its possible that the headers are boiling the fluid as it goes down to the trans.... i checked that out and it has shielding around the hose. pedal does seem to get spongy after awhile... any ideas ???:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

What did you put water in you brake fluid??? Lmao

Boiling huh? I had long tubes with a ram power gribble never had that problem... What pressure plate do you have and did you replace the tob???
Did you do it yourself?? Did you properly bleed it?? Lots of things could be wrong...

got the whole ram kit, using the release bearing from the trans i got - has 7100 miles on it, bled the hell out of the system. seems to work ok when the car is cold, but gets worse the more you drive it :idk:

using the stock tob.... bled everything again today, same results. only 2 things left to try - another shim, factory pressure plate on the ram disc. after that its going in the trash

Its the TOB.... Its called a "Throw Out Bearing" for a reason.... My experience with it at least is you always replace it with a new clutch....
