Default Clutch Question Ram Spec

Ok heres my deal I have a Spec stage 2 in my car now I had some oil blow through the rear main seal on my clutch and it is really not driveable anymore it doesnt like to go it sucks. I don't really have $300 for a new spec but i was looking at the Ram HD from late Model Resto for $170. I really dont race my car i just drive it for fun has anyone ever used this clutch how is it? I was also lookin to see if i could find the Spec clutch disc only but I couldnt so if anyone knows where to get one let me know. my car does have a H/C/I and bolt ons

Have you tried throwing some brake clean at the disc?

yes i will check on a new disc but does anyone have the ram hd clutch it seems nice for $169 I might still get it for my 82 notch so I would like to hear if its any good. Also if I got oil on the disc is thier any chance of damage to the pressure plate or fly wheel?

You can order a new disc though spec but personally rather have the Ram HD. The Ram HD is a great street clutch. The only thing worse than a spec clutch chatter is their customer service. They SUCK!

How does the Ram HD clutch compare in terms of driveability to the factory clutch?
