Are you certain you had plenty of clearance between your internal hydraulic TO bearing and the RAM pressure plate fingers/tongs? How much clearance did you have? Were there "any" signs of
oil on your clutch disk or leakage from your rear main seal?
I had a RAM clutch in the past and can tell you first hand the new 12" McLeod will bite so hard it can tear the A$$ end out of your car if you are not careful. No slippage on the 12" Mc, that is for sure...
