Leaky Ram clutch - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

efnfast · 08-20-2023

Fixed my bad U joint and thought I was good to go for Carlisle.
I have a Ram hydraulic throw out has been leaking for a while, slow drip. It would have easily gotten me to Carlisle, would have had to top it of there, but no worries. I think that's the way I went to Carlisle last year.
Yesterday after fixing the half shaft, went for a quick spin. When I got back, the reservoir was almost empty.
Gonna pick up a high lift tranny jack at Harbor Freight to drop the tranny.
I'll try to keep this thread up to date.

Sorry to hear this. I don?t know if it was you that I remember having problems with the Ram system before? Best wishes and safe travels.

I had issues getting it installed. The issue is in the bell housing, so the shifter, the drive shaft, the C beam, then the tranny. Maybe it's just a leaky hose.
I'll be at Carlisle with my ZR.....................................2 (Colorado)
