Best Guess - M/C or Hydraulic Throw out Bearing

[kcwitt]

MK IV, Gen 3 Coyote, Tremec T-56.
Lost my clutch pedal 1" at a time till I had no clutch.
No leaks in the foot box.
Nothing on the bell housing or lines.
A few drops show up on the floor.
So, M/C or Hydraulic Throw out Bearing.
Either option is going to be difficult with a completed car.

Thanks for any input.

What brand is the hydraulic TO bearing?

You have to trace those drops back to the source. If the drops on the floor are in fact hydraulic fluid I don’t see how it cold be the MC. Would probably seeping out the TOB. That also means there is probably some fluid pooling up at the base of the bell housing.

The “good” news if it’s the TOB you don’t actually have to fully remove the transmission. Take out the drive shaft and you can slide it back far enough to change it out. Still sucks but better than dropping it.

Stock Gen3 crate engine from FFR with the T-56.
Assuming a stock Ford part.

I can only hope it's that easy.
Will call FFR tomorrow & see if they have a part #.

Thanks

If the hydraulic throwout bearing is a McLeod it could be bad, McLeod isn't known for reliability.

If you've installed the Wilwood master cylinder FFR supplied my money is on that, lots of failures of the Wilwoods. If you haven't seen it this thread is some interesting reading. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?49560-Swapping-Tilton-MC-for-Wilwood-MC&highlight=tilton

You really shouldn't have any drops anywhere, but that may an entirely different problem if the MC has gone south. Is the circuit plumbed such that you can bleed it through the slave cylinder/TOB? I'd start with that and fixing the leak, if you can.
