New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

All new from Ram is their heavy duty Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder. This is a great option for guys running aftermarket clutches that need better clutch adjustment. The issue with a hydraulic clutch is that unlike the traditional style clutch there's no cable or firewall adjuster to dial in the proper adjustment needed for the clutch to engage properly. We have all seen a bunch of the S197 guys struggle with where their clutches engage and this new product from Ram is the solution.

This is a direct replacement for the stock slave cylinder and allows for a wider range of adjustment then the stock slave cylinder does. The Ran bearing will provide up to a .600 inch of travel using a 3/4" bore master cylinder.


For a limited time Lethal Performance is offering these for a special price of $319.99 Shipped. We've got several kits on the way from Ram to us which will we'll be able to start shipping to customers on Friday.

I wanna jump on this since its way cheaper than the Mcleod unit, but I wanna see some reviews on it. Glad to see you guys with it first.

I need one! Will call tomorrow. Fidanza is helping me out with a replacement clutch. Looks like the last one went south due to the dam Slave cylinder. Thanks Lethal for always getting the parts that are needed right when I need them.

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

Surely Fidanza tested their clutch with the stock slave cylinder (that's all there was). If they didn't work well together, then shouldn't they have known that? So what exactly was the problem?

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

Mine is not the first to have this problem with the stock slave cylinder. Others on the boards have also had problems using different brands of clutches. The aftermarket stuff just happens to bring out any problems that might not have been noticable before.

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

Some of the problems were not the slave cylinders fault, they were the fault of the clutch manufacturer, like centerforce, using an old pressure plate designed for the previous generation of mustangs.

I just wanted to know how fidanza could determine that your slave cylinder was the problem when you didn't send them your slave cylinder.:eek: Better to blame the slave cylinder and still offer to replace the clutch, than to blame themselves and have to replace the clutch.;) Did you send them your slave?

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

They tested the plate and looked at the wear on the "fingers" which showed the cylinder was not letting the clutch fully engage. They also advised that they had been contacted by a custom shop who had the same thing happen and it was traced back to the slave cylinder. This would be my interpitation of what they told me, not the exact wording.

So your problem was just the opposite of sactowns, which is why your clutch burned up prematurely. Still sounds like BS from fidanza though.:eek: Did you have a fidanza flywheel? I can't keep all the clutch problems straight.

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

Yep flywheel and clutch were Fidanza.

RE: New: Ram S197 HD Adjustable Hydraulic Slave Cylinder
 

Just to inform you guys asking about the Fidanza clutches they do use a totally different pressure plate for the 05+ mustang then the previous 99-04 models. However even though they have a different plate which was designed for the 05+ S197 there's still a lot of people that have issues do to the stock slave cyclinder not having enough travel to fully disengage the clutch. That's what this new Ram piece is for. The problem with the S197 hydraulic clutch is there's really no way to adjust it like the 99-04 cars have. So setting the proper pedal height and engagement can't be done with a firewall adjuster as the S197's don't use a cable. It's all hydraulics. The Ram piece is the S197's "Firewall Adjuster".
