Hot Rods Hydraulic release bearing

Is ther a hydraulic realease bearing that works with a standard 39 style crash box?

After having problems with shoddy quality hyd release brgs, I prefer the old style release fork that protrudes out the side of the bellhousing. Then connect an external slave cyl to the fork where it is easy to adj the freeplay from outside the housing. Of course if you are limited in space, then maybe the hyd bearing is the way to go.

I totally agree with speedshifter.

 

Thinking back I believe my 39 trans uses a shaft that twists to move the release brg. It definitely would take some extra work to twist the shaft from a slave cyl or use a mechanical linkage as Ford did. Sorry for the error. My 76 yr old brain let me down again. Anyone else not satisfied with (aftermarket) release brgs? Greg

 

Not satisfied here! Doesn't take long for them to start leaking. Lots of labor to replace verses a slave cyl with a fork set up. If space is a problem, the fork can sometimes be installed on the passenger side.

 

I have a Speedway external slave and Wilwood master on my set up. Using an AFCO stock car line. This is the same set up I've used in the past with stock cars. I have about 1200 miles on it and am pleased with it.

 

Decided to go with external hydraulic setup after reading reports above...thanks folks.

Have you chosen what parts to use for the external hydraulic clutch yet?

 

Not yet.....I'm still on the frame...just trying to plan ahead..

Less than a thousand miles on my Howe hydraulic throwout bearing & its failing. Worked great for awhile.,Going to trade it out for an external slave & thinking about using Novak adapter. Anyone have experience with this ?
