Clutch & McCleod Throw Out Bearing
New update – with the last engine pull I went back to a hydraulic throwout bearing – used a Howe hydraulic from Speedway – works great. Also moved the point where the master cylinder connects to the clutch pedal to increase the throw of the pedal wich also decreases the pressure needed to use the clutch. Put over 20k miles on it and it works great.
update – no longer using it. What happened, and it may have just been mine, but when it was parked for months -something that happens each winter here – the o-ring would take a set and the fluid would leak out. Only way to fix it was to change it. Then it would be fine for the season until parked long term again and it would go again. 2 times in a row and you’re out.
I switched to a master/slave cylinder system. I got the slave cylinder from Speedway Auto Parts.
