pparaska Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It looks to me like it would seriously interfere with the tunnel in a 240-280Z, both the clutch fork and the bracket and cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My car had a similar setup on it when I bought it, just a little more homegrown and a lot more hacked. There didn't seem to be any clearance issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonTX Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Very cool. I was actually diggin thro my bellhousings, (only 3) to see if i had a hydro clutch one, and when i didnt find it i thought "crap, theres another $50-$100 on a bellhousing. I will definently go this route, altho i am real curious about the clearence. There does look to be alot of extra metal i could grind on on that bracket uhh.. i just looked at the site, and found this. Its rigid steel bracket installs easily using two of the bellhousing-to-block bolts on the passenger side of the engine. Nearly all aluminum Chevrolet bellhousings and most aftermarket versions are compatible Am i a complete idiot, or is that the driver side?

Michael Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Why not just a hydraulic throwout bearing? No clearance problems, easy installation, relatively inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think price of say, a Tilton unit, makes my head spin. If this think fits in the tranny tunnel, the price doesn't look too bad...

Alf Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Why not just a hydraulic throwout bearing? No clearance problems, easy installation, relatively inexpensive. You ever try to adjust one of those? Taking the transmission out three times in one afternoon to adjust free play isn't my cup of tea. Besides, you could make that bracket yourself and adapt a common or universal slave cylinder, it would be much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The bracket in this photo looks like it tucks the cylinder pretty close to the bellhousing. It might be proportioned for a shorter clutch throwout lever. Good thing about a shorter arm is it requires less stroke from the slave and you can use a smaller diameter master which equals less pedal effort.
