Title: hydraulic throwout bearing/clutch
Post by: Topsterguy on September 30, 2008, 11:37:06 PM
Hey folks!  I'm putting a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed in my 40 pickup and would like to use a hydraulic throwout bearing / clutch setup rather than the usual fork setup. Anyone done this and have ideas on what to use, OEM or aftermarket, part numbers, and pics , and advice etc !?  Thanks!

I used a Howe in my V-8 S10 with a T5 for my son's pickup. It has been in the truck for 3 years and works great. The mastercylinder on the S-10 is 15/16". Howe calls for a 7/8" master which would likely be much more user friendly. Simple installation. Price from Speedway was great too. I had quite a time bleeding the system completely, but once it was complete, it worked well. The truck is driven year-round including the -40 Canadian winters. Rick
