Ram Powergrip HD clutch question
Hello guys,
I purchased the Powergrip HD for my 08 LS3 Corvette, I just got the unit and it has the clutch plate, clutch spring and the alignment tool. Isn’t it supposed to have a bearing with it?
Thank you.

The bearing can only be purchased with the slave cyl. It does not come with the clutch for the C6. At least it didn't when I bought mine and it seems like things have not changed.

I'm no stranger to clutch swaps and I'm warning you that the RAM 931hd was the worst clutch I ever had. The thing banged going into 1st so bad that it destroyed the slave cylinder breaking the slave and getting a tow home. New LS7 with a aluminum flywheel fixed me up to this day.

I confirmed it. It does no come with the bearing just like "AintQik" said.
Spin,
This one is the 910HD. I am not sure what the difference is but this was the most suggested one out of all the setups I could buy. The only thing I am a little disappointed is that the Ram billet flywheel which is recommended to be used with this clutch is not lighter than my stock one. I was hopping to scavenge few ponies from there.

Aintqik came out the next week to help me do the swap to a new LS7 with a fidanza flywheel and a new slave/throw-out bearing that I ordered from Fred Beans. I didnt the swap on a Sunday and when I opened the slave box the throwout bearing wasnt in there and no one was open to get a new one. Monday morning fred Beans tells me"oh yeah we have it here on the shipping desk...haha the new guy didnt pack it right and forgot it...haha". I had to buy a new one from a local dealer for 250 bucks to get the car together. The car was taking up precious hangar space and cost the family money so I was banned from weekend build-ups there .....forever.
I love RAM.
The LS7....best move I ever made and its a perfect match with the light weight flywheel since the pressure plate is so heavy.

I have heard some bad stories about the LS7. There is a shop here that had the LS7 in there Vette and the thing just flew out of the car, lucky for the driver he still has his legs. By the way the clutch in my 08 LS3 has the same part number as the LS7

Since its in all 2008's and all Z06's, its pretty well proven.
