If you’re thinking about upgrading your truck’s clutch linkage to a hydraulic system, you’ve probably wondered what a hydraulic throwout bearing kit is. 

A hydraulic throwout bearing kit includes everything you need to replace your mechanical clutch linkage with a hydraulic clutch linkage. 

You must first measure your truck before installing a new hydraulic throwout bearing kit. 

The distance between the fingers on the pressure plate and the bell housing.

A new release bearing, extended fluid line fittings, and a fail-safe retainer are included in this kit. 

You can use any header and exhaust combination with the release bearing without worrying about clutch linkage clearance or geometry issues. 

It also eliminates the need to weld a bracket to the frame of your truck. 

With a hydraulic throwout bearing, you can keep your stock body and big block without having to worry about the weight of a massive engine.

Hydraulic throwout bearing kits are an excellent way to improve the clutch performance of your truck. 

They can alleviate heavy pedal pressure and eliminate the slave and fork setup that comes standard with factory clutches. 

They use high-quality hydraulic bearings as well as high-quality lines and fittings.

You must ensure that your transmission has a bore in order for your clutch to release smoothly. 

Before installing the hydraulic throwout bearing kit, make sure your master cylinder is the correct size. 

The master cylinder is required, but a speed universal bearing kit will not fit without one. 

Because of the large O-rings and back-rings, the bearings are much more durable than stock bearings.

A hydraulic throwout bearing kit will make swapping out drivetrains in vintage vehicles easier. 

Instead of a complicated mechanical linkage, these units are powered by the master cylinder’s pressure. 

They can be connected to a standard line. 

The kits have been pre-bled to make bleeding easier. 

They also have double-width Buna-N seals. 

A hydraulic throwout bearing kit is a must-have for any classic car.

The outer shell of a throwout bearing kit pushes against the pressure plate. 

Bolts hold the pressure plate and friction disc together. 

The friction disc is sandwiched between them, with the pressure plate sandwiched between them. 

When the engine is running normally, the pressure plate rotates. 

The clutch friction disc slides over the transmission input shaft’s splines and rotates only when the drive wheels turn.
