Hydraulic Clutch question.

[nelsond003]

This may sound stupid, but I am running a hydraulic clutch on my coyote build with a TKO 600. I Have the hydraulic master cylinder and hydraulic throw out bearing, I presume that the line for my hydraulic throwout bearing connects right to my hydraulic master cylinder, but I am seeing some peoples builds with a slave cylinder mounted on the bell housing. If the throwout bearing is being actuated by the master cylinder through the stainless steel line, I am thinking that I do not need that slave cylinder hooked on the side of my bell housing?

I have the same set up. Got it from Forte. You need a master cylinder and the slave cylinder. Call Mike. He can set you up with the slave and mount. Martin

PS have you set the pivot ball/clutch arm and distance from the bearing to the spring fingers?

Correct, the hydraulic throw out bearing takes the place of the clutch fork and slave cylinder.

He has a hydraulic throw-out bearing, no slave cylinder or clutch arm used.

Well I guess I have the slave cylinder set up for sale LOL because I would rather use my hydraulic throw out bearing

There are two basic systems.

1 Standard throw-out bearing and clutch fork. Operated by a slave cylinder.
2. Hydraulic throw-out bearing. No fork, no slave. The bearing itself is the slave cylinder.

Of course there are pluses and minuses to everything:
The hydraulic throw-out makes for a nice clean easy installation.
If it ever has an issue, you are going to have to remove the transmission which is usually engine out.

If a standard slave cylinder goes bad, it takes about 10- 15 minutes to change it.
