Ram clutch slave cylinder
Just want to throw a little info out there to anyone looking to replace their slave cylinder. I decided to use the RAM slave set-up during my clutch install. Super nice unit, comes with full stainless lines and a speed bleeder. $400 on Summit. Read a few good things about it over using the stock unit, of course time will tell but so far it's great. And actually cheaper than buying the stock unit and all the necessary lines. I also purchased their hydraulic clutch accumulator. It allows you to lower the engagement point closer to the floor, wherever you like it more. I'll post info on that once I put it inline.

There's nothing plastic on the Ram unit.

in my opinion the plastic is anyways not the problem. the problem is the bearing it self as soon as it fails it destroys everything.

My thoughts as well. My plastic support piece looked great after 80k miles but the bearing completely fell apart. The only thing that held the bearing together was the transmission being in place. Once taken out the bearing shot on to the floor and exploded and the slave was ruined

The Z28 slave has a different bearing . I used that on the track here at the Nürburgring. no i just wanted to switch to the ram bearing because of the better hydraulic ratio.

Did you have to shim the RAM slave at all?

Yes, I did. You have to shim it to something like.150" - .200" clearance between the bearing and the PP fingers. It is a little bit complicated, but the instructions that came with the unit were pretty good from what I remember.
