Installation Notes and Tips
Verify transmission type before ordering, since this kit is listed for New Venture/Chrysler transmissions only. Confirm the 13-inch outside diameter, 1 3/8-inch input, and 10-tooth spline match the vehicle’s existing clutch specification. When replacing a standard clutch kit with this optional Kevlar disc application, increased drivetrain noise is normal.
Quality Assurance
Sachs is a recognized drivetrain brand in the aftermarket, and this clutch kit follows the application details provided for the listed Dodge Ram models. Use the fitment notes to confirm exact vehicle coverage before installation.
