I want to convert to a hyd.clutch. I waiting on my TK600 and need help here. With my trany from Keisler I ordered a clutch kit stage 3, 650hp.
I was told by Chris its a Ram clutch.
What hydraulic throwout bearing do I need for the vette setup, Maybe Ram has one. I was going to order Keislers kit but just cant justify the cost right now.
And do I really need that funny looking bracket setup. Im lost with that part.
PICTURES are very good to.

I have a TKO600 with a Ram clutch. I used the hydraulic clutch kit from Keisler, but I don't know exactly what throwout bearing is used in the kit. I will take a look through the paperwork to see if it is listed. The master cylinder is a Wilwood unit. The bracket is needed to mount the master cylinder at the correct angle to match the travel of the pushrod off the pedal.

That would be great if you have numbers for me, I can make a bracket if I have a pic. Thanks; tom

Thankyou; Tom
Do they say if the pedal still goes the whole way to the floor or not.

I got the kit from American Powertrain, they are using the RAM TOB #78132.

If you have our tranny kit, you get a discount on the hydraulic kit. Also, doing the hydraulics correctly is difficult. There are numerous pitfalls where you can fail the master, or fail the bearing.

Also, our hydraulic kits use a proprietary csc bearing made for us by the same people that make it for GM. It is not circle track stuff like you see out in the aftermarket today. Those t/o bearings are not ruggedized for street use. Nor do they maintain constant contact with the clutch fingers. Why is that important? Because the bearing will bounce away from the clutch plate fingers under aggressive driving conditions, and you won't get a clean shift. This will cause you to prematurely wear the synchros, miss shifts, and double pump the clutch pedal in order to get a shift off.

Search "Hydaulic Clutch" in the Search on this site and You will find what worked for me along with others. Doing it again I would never consider a stock style set up with a single line going to it.

Keisler,
Do you sell just the firewall bracket for people who want to run their own parts?

TOM B1

PROBABLY NOT.
I called Keisler and added a kit to my order, but thanks to all of you.
Keisler took out the second draw on all my parts 2 weeks a go. but still waiting, Hmmm.
No Im not mad.
