Been through 3/4 slave/master sets no changes.....

All new sycros last year

Could be fork, or pivot I guess
Looking back, I know you might wish you'd done something else - been thar done dat too! I'm looking for the first excuse to put a dual RAM in mine, and I'm sure if you had it to do over, you might be or had done something like that before now, no?.

must be a trend... I had the same symptoms with mine. Still not sure what caused it. Rebuilt slave & master, no change. Took it all apart, and there is no obvious damage to the clutch or PP. Guess I need to take a closer look at the fork & pedal.

Not sure what to do next. I am going to put the RAM dual disc in it when I put it back together. More engine work to do first

Todd,

If any ZR should have the dual clutch it's yours.

At a minimum I wish I had added a hydraulic throwout

Um yeah... 'cept the stock Valeo is a pull type pressure plate, and the RAM (far as I know) is a push type hydraulic throwout type; but I hear ya.

Time to move on boys & girls .
Stock Valeo pull type pressure plate and slave cylinder setup is nothing but a valley of tears experience.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but based on the posts, thought it might be of interest to the participants. If anyone thinks it's not appropriate, just say so & I will delete it.

FWIW, if you are considering a RAM Dual Disc Clutch, we have just marked them down.
