Hyd throwout bearing or std bearing
I spoke to George Gessford (Gessford Automotive) he is recommending the standard throwout bearing not the Hyd unit.
What do the members of club cobra think? Thank You |
Hi greg im using a standard throw out bearing with hyd slave cylinder. also it is much easier for repair internal t/o bearing you have to remove tranny for repair.i mounted a bracket on two of the tranny mounting boltsand fastened slave cyl to it and it works fine. just my .02 good luck Neil

Greg, I have a hyd. throwout bearing only because I have no room for a fork with my Lakewood bellhousing. If you can, do what Neil has done with an external slave unit, he's right.

I've got over 20K on my Tilton Hydraulic Bearing and it is the same as the first day I pushed in the clutch.
It's all in the correct installation. Roscoe |
I use a standard TO bearing but use a late Mustang clutch cable with a homemade clutch quadrant. The OEM quadrant just didn;t pull enough cable per inch of pedal travel so I made my own adding 1/8" to the radius. It works very smoothly and with a diaphragm pressure plate is not uncomfortable to use. I agree with Roscoe that it is all in careful and proper installation but I am a firm believer in keeping things simple. That's why I opted for the cable setup. I use a Lakewood blowshield and just had to relocate the pivot ball to the passenger side of the housing which was no biggie.
