Default RAM C4 conversion disc

The disc is an organic disc and man it smells terrible. IMHO, dont get the organic disc.

Are you other guys finding this out too?

Quote" Ram 300 Series clutch discs feature a polyurethane-encapsulated sprung hub to handle higher shock loading than standard discs. They also have premium non-asbestos organic facings bonded to a steel backing for better heat dissipation and greater strength. Available with a flat carrier (300 Series race) or a marcel carrier (300M Series) for reduced chatter and smooth engagement, they work great for race or Hot Street applications. "

Grabs great, 2800 lbs of clamp with no hydrualic release issues at all..

Having gone back to the PUSH type, I will never go back to the Pull type.
