Default Thoughts on RAM Street Clutches?

I just put an AC Delco clutch in my '94 Z28 from Rock Auto and it started vibrating pretty bad (poorly balanced pressure plate). No vibrations before the clutch change. I have bought from RA before and am not blaming them, but it seems AC Delco's quality is going south. I am thinking of replacing it with a RAM from Summit. How do people like the RAM in our cars? I have read a lot about the HDX and Powergrip, but not too much on the OEM or "Muscle Car Series" which are more in my price range.

I just need a decent replacement for my daily driver. This car is not raced, and is all stock except for exhaust.

too bad, always kinda liked the oem clutch!

it's an old platform, you'll find gm/delco is just rebranding a lot of junk parts since they don't make enough money manufacturing them anymore. same with any old car from any mfr

all the same, they wont take it back, right? try another hundred miles or so before you make any decisions

a lot of clutches i've done have a bit of vibration, then they break in and it goes away

No they are going to take it back. I either send it back and get a refund, or buy a new one and get refunded when the old one shows up. Rock Auto even gave me a Fed Ex label to send it back. Like you said, Delco could just be buying imported crap to sell and I don't want to chance it on another one. Are LuK or Valeo still making clutches for 4th gens?
