I'm looking for feedback on the Hydraulic throw out bearings that are out there.
I recently completed the second restoration of my 67, and was warned that the 5 speed, and new 302 would cause there to be geometry issues with the clutch fork, I wish I had listened. I talked to some who said just throw it in the car you'll get used to clutch engagement coming at about an inch from the firewall. While I can live with it, it's not comfortable. So after all that work I'm trying to wrap my head around pulling the drivetrain out to install either a thicker throwout bearing or the hydraulic unit. My clutch is also very heavy so I'm hoping the hydraulic bearing will lessen that load as well. Searching brilliant minds that have useful opinions. Cheers, Don
