RAM COUPLER FORD 2300 123

SIMPLY THE SMALLEST & LIGHTEST OVAL TRACK CLUTCH SYSTEM. THE RAM COUPLER IS A COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT CLUTCH SYSTEM FEATURING SPLINED LOCK-UP ENGAGEMENT. THE CONE CLUTCH PROVIDES THE INITIAL ENGAGEMENT TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. POSITIVE LOCK-UP IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE PEDAL IS RELEASED & THE SPLINED CONE ENGAGES THE SPLINED TOP PLATE. THE RAM COUPLER IS JUST 5 LBS. & 4" IN DIAMETER, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE CRANK FLANGE ITSELF. RAM RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUPLER BE USED IN VEHICLES UNDER 2,600 POUNDS OR WITH ADEQUATE LOW GEARING TO AVOID OVERLOADING THE CONE CLUTCH. IF YOU ONLY USE 3RD & 4TH GEAR & YOUR CAR IS HEAVY, ACCELERATED WEAR WILL OCCUR TO THE FRICTION LINING. BECAUSE THE DIRECT DRIVE CONNECTION IS NOT SYNCHRONIZED, ENGINE & INPUT SPEEDS MUST MATCH BEFORE RE-ENGAGEMENT.
