Has anybody ever heard of a hyduralic throw-out bearing and if there is any for the 901 transmission?
Thank You!!!! Phillip J. Haun Oak Harbor, WA. |

Sure. You could find one that fits your dimensions fairly easily, they are not uncommon and I bet there is an after market set. Then you will have to figure out how you are going to do the pedal cluster with another MC for the clutch. I am sure someone here has done it before.

worth a look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) wouldnt it be easier to hook up a slave cylinder instead? Hyd. TO bearing dies and you have to pull the tranny.... slave dies and you unbolt it. |

You can get some cool after market stuff like CNC hydraulic clutch kits which include a clutch pedal with a reservoir and an external slave cylinder. The last one I saw was on a Becks 550 replica. They beafed up the location where the stock cable went through where the slave was bolted but that was on a VW trany. I think you would need to fab a beafy clip that bolts to your trany. As mentioned above, keeping everything external keeps it symple. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I did mine with a hydraulic clutch several years back. I grafted a 964 master cylinder onto my pedal cluster,and used a Wilwood slave cyl.on the trans end. The pics are several years old,so everything has been tightened up to work properly. Ron Attached image(s) |

944 master cylinder, second reservoir, 944 slave cylinder. Inexpensive and will work good. Just need to do a little fabrication on the transmission end for a bracket that holds the slave cylinder in place to activate the throwout bearing.

This is the Tilton one:

Why would someone want that? Super-pain-in-the-ass when it fails. (Not IF but when).

I understood the throwout bearing question. I was pointing out that the 944 has a system that may be adapted without using a hydrolic throw out bearing.

Why would someone want that? Super-pain-in-the-ass when it fails. (Not IF but when). I agree if it fails your in for more work and expense to replace it, but as I see it there are less moving parts, less bearing races to wear etc. I have a 930 transmission and there is a lot of things leading up to releasing the clutch disk. I would go that way and may but it would have to be correctly machined and good quality. With a big pressure plate there is a ton of pressure placed on the factory parts as well as alignment issues that are critical when using a heavy PP. I don't disagree if you have something working, why change it? |
