RAM Clutches Manual Transmission Components

About RAM Clutches

Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, RAM Clutches has spent more than five decades earning its reputation as one of America's most trusted manufacturers of high-performance clutch systems. Every product that leaves the RAM Clutches facility is proudly made in the USA — a commitment to domestic craftsmanship that resonates deeply with the muscle car and performance driving community.

RAM Clutches was built around a simple idea: factory clutches are rarely engineered for the demands of serious performance driving. Whether you're launching hard at the track, putting down big horsepower on a street build, or simply upgrading an aging OEM setup, RAM designs clutch solutions that can handle the load. Their catalog spans everything from mild street clutches to aggressive dual-disc setups engineered for race applications.

Built for America's Iconic Performance Cars

RAM Clutches has become synonymous with American muscle. Their product lineup is purpose-built for some of the most iconic nameplates on the road — the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Hellcat, among others. This focused expertise means RAM engineers understand the unique torque characteristics, bell-housing geometry, and drivability demands of these platforms better than almost anyone else in the industry.

Enthusiasts can choose from a broad range of Clutch Kits tailored to their specific vehicle and power level. Each kit is engineered as a complete, matched system — pressure plate, disc, and hardware — so every component works in harmony from the moment it's installed.

A Complete Drivetrain Solution

Beyond full clutch kits, RAM Clutches supports every stage of a clutch service or upgrade. Their lineup of Clutch Release Bearings includes both traditional mechanical units and hydraulic release bearing options, providing smooth, consistent clutch engagement whether you're cruising or competing. For a complete clutch service, their Clutch Pilot Bearings ensure precise input shaft alignment and reduce wear at the critical interface between the crankshaft and transmission.

For the full range of drivetrain hardware, RAM's broader Clutch & Components selection covers the supporting parts that round out any performance clutch installation. And for professionals and DIYers who want to get the job done right the first time, RAM also offers Clutch Alignment Tools to ensure proper disc centering during installation — a small detail that makes a big difference in clutch feel and longevity.
