Best Trans. Fork ? FE (Hyd. bearing) Quick Time bell.

Forgive me for my ignorance. I assume mine is a hydraulic as I have three master cylinders, two for the brakes, one for the clutch. I don't have the car here so I can't look at it but, it has nothing like shown. How do I find out whether it's hydro or not ? (I'm sure it is but, I'm still asleep)

What are the pro's & con's of a hydro clutch ?
Will I need one for the twin dick clutch ?

A fellow LSC cobra owner may have bought yours Mike, and it won't fit, it hits the frame. I'll make sure,...... this is what he has and get back to you.

$400 at Summit, wow.

For the same money, I'm sure the Kirkham & Mikes is higher quality !

Mike- This is what the other LSC has and it hits the frame. I can only assume the other makes will have the same problem ?

FYI - I have a McLeod hydro setup that I've been running in my Mustang for about 10 years and I don't recommend it. It's a PITA to bleed and God forbid when it starts leaking (and it will) because you will have to pay $$$ for several O-rings. Even with the high price for the parts, I received an incomplete shipment.....I was missing two O-rings. On the positive side of the McLeod setup, I enjoy the super light pedal pressure needed to shift!

I'll call Mike and David to chat about this, hitting the frame situation. I don't know what else can be done. Like I mentioned, a friend also has a LSC so, I'll see if he wants to get involved here.

(I know I have a Hydro bearing, and don't see why I asked)

Here's my set-up on my LSC, FWIW.

It's a home-made bracket and a Ford clutch fork.

Sent you a PM back.

I don't have a part number. It is the slave that is provided by LSC in their current kits. Call Brian at LSC and I'm sure he can provide the right number.

That is a Quicktime bellhousing. Part number is 6060 for a 351W, which is the engine I'm running. Since you are using a 428, you will have less room than me. Still, if you fab a bracket, you can make it work.

I'm still building so I haven't tested my setup yet. I don't anticipate any problem though. When bleeding, the bleeder nipple will be on top so I can get all the air out of the cylinder.

Hey Randy, good news. I'll call Brian today.
Too bad he doesn't have a parts page with photo's and information.
I'll rattle his cage a bit. lol
