Transmission & slave cylinder

As far as clutch slaves go, my tunnel shape does not allow a clutch fork (the bonus is better footwell space ), so I have to use an internal hydraulic throw out bearing. Now that I know a bit more about them and how they are fitted, I'm quite happy about using one. Reliability when using a known brand should not be a problem. I don't know for sure, but probably all or most 'moderns' with a manual transmission would be using HTOBs.

Ehh - I would not call 24 lbs light by any stretch, but it's not heavy either. Probably a good compromise based on your preferences. Too bad not enough room for an external slave.

This would be called a light flywheel - 9 lbs.
