Default What Clutch Plate??

Bunch of questions for anyone with some ready answers.......

For 514/TKO application; 3:50 gears...

Had some severe slippage problems after approx 3000 miles.

Have pulled tranny et al.

Trying to make sure I have solid parts fore they go back in.

Was running a Ram 2400 Lb PP (Long Style) with Ram 300 Series clutch (I think)........

Have a Ram 2800 Lb PP handy and trying to decide on clutch.

Have hydraulic TO bearing; McCleod.

I keep getting mixed reads on clutch selection. Thought I was going with Sintered Iron this time around, but Ram Website seems to recommend much lower static pressure for sintered iron.

That would seem to leave me with the 300 series, or organic.

Anyone know original and "wear specs" for typical or Ram clutches? Mine looks like it's worn a few mm total.....well under 10 mm total width, but a fair bit of material left to the screws........had some blueing on the plate and flywheel.........not much.......have resurfaced.........

Not sure if my slippage was due to clutch wear, inadequate PP static pressure, misalign on HYD T/O or combination but selection of clutch material at this point is my biggest point of conrfusion...........

Any thoughts??
