What is a hydraulic throw-out bearing and why would I use one?

A hydraulic throw-out bearing replaces the traditional clutch fork and cable system with a hydraulic cylinder. This McLeod unit is particularly useful when swapping transmissions, as it can eliminate the need to fabricate complex clutch linkage, offering a cleaner and more direct connection.

What does 'self-adjusting' mean for this bearing?

Self-adjusting means the bearing automatically compensates for clutch wear over time. This ensures consistent pedal feel and proper clutch engagement without requiring manual adjustments as the clutch disc wears down.

What is the 'A' measurement mentioned in the fitment notes?

The 'A' measurement refers to the distance from the transmission bellhousing face to the clutch disc. This McLeod bearing is designed for applications where this measurement is less than 3 inches, ensuring proper fit and function with your clutch assembly.

Product Details

If you're swapping transmissions in your 1972 Dodge B100 Van, especially into a Richmond 5 or 6-speed, you might be looking for a cleaner way to handle the clutch linkage. This hydraulic throw-out bearing from McLeod Racing is designed to replace your stock bearing retainer, simplifying the process and offering a more robust solution. It's a well-built unit that can help you avoid fabricating complex clutch linkage, making your transmission swap much more straightforward.

This McLeod 1300 Series bearing is constructed from hard-anodized billet aluminum, which is a strong material that resists wear. It comes with high-pressure stainless steel braided lines and convenient elbow swivel fittings, which make installation easier and help ensure a secure, leak-free connection. The unit also features a bleeder valve, making it simpler to bleed the hydraulic system after installation. Because it's self-adjusting, you won't need to worry about recalibrating it as the clutch wears.

This hydraulic throw-out bearing is a solid option for street or strip applications where durability and performance are key. It's designed to be a bolt-on replacement for your OEM bearing retainer, provided your transmission's 'A' measurement is less than 3 inches. Having a reliable hydraulic system for your clutch can make a noticeable difference in pedal feel and engagement, especially with a transmission swap.
