Default hydraulic throwout bearing

So I have a t5 in a c4

Has anyone put a hydraulic throwout bearing on a t5 or 4+3?

Or any transmission for that matter. Just curious on what this entails... and if its worth it.

I thought your building a 383??? & your going to bolt a T5 up to it??? yikes that is what you call creating a un-schedualed dis-assembly!!!! you could install the Hydraulic TOB???

I had a T5 in my TA with a very built up HSR 358 that poor T5 wanted to snap you could feel it..
PS no power shifting.. i was always wondering when my T5 was going to visit my seat.??

We had a t5 wc in a built up v8 rx7 (im sure not as much as you 358) it worked wonders. This is a driver. Not an all out performer. The t5 will hold up for a while(probably longer than the dn). Im looking at drivability. T5 is much better to drive than the doug nash. So I wanted to add a hydraulic tob to add to the smoothness. (In comperison)

RX7 a mild build would be a blast.. Gen1? 2,300 -2,500 OE curb weight.. Gen2 <> 2,600 -3,000
Gen3 <> 2,400.

My WC T5 has held up so far behind the 385. It's been 2 years - of course she has not been pushed too hard (at least not often).
