    I'd def.be contacting zoom!That SHOULD NOT have happened,especially in less that 1k miles.Good deal on the flywheel.

    When I replaced the clutch in my Falcon I notice that Zoom is made in China. Ram and Centerforce is made in USA. Centerforce is a diaphragm clutch and Ram is a 3 finger with 8 springs in the hub instead of 5

    I put a Centerforce in mine and have ran it pretty hard. I can't say anything bad about it.
