Guest Anonymous Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Just got a tilton 7/8 clutch master and braided line. I'm trying to find a metal slave with a bleeder screw. I have found a resin master w/o bleeder but what a pain. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 I too would like a metal bodied slave - the JTR method of tapping the resin makes me nervous. It sounded for awhile as if the T5 slave might be different or at least accept a standard hose fitting but I believe this has since been disproven. At least one person is using a stock Datsun slave but having had one of those die on me already I think I'd be nervous about that (sigh). My father owned a Z for years - he had "several" slaves leave him stranded. (ahem) So, at this point I'm resigned to using the JTR method of tapping the resin body. several others here have done this and appear to be having NO problems. This being the case I suppose I'm just being silly worrying about it but I'd still be interested if you or anyone else has ideas for a metal slave! What other RWD cars used the T56T5 with a hydraulic clutch? Viper, Vette (?), Camaro, anything else a possible donar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Guys, I really don't think you have anything to worry about with the slave offered by the factory. I have been using mine for over 900miles now, and it sits with in about 2 inches of my exhaust pipe. It works fine. The thing is wrapped in heat barrier to help with heat issues, but I drilled and tapped mine and ran a 1/8" to 3AN fitting into it and it is fine. The plastic is a space aged nylon designed for strength. AP Gurlock makes the unit and also makes a lot of other stuff out of the same matterial... For the space shuttle. It is strong, durable, and shouldn't leave you stranded. Buddy of mine that ownes a shop in Woodbridge swapped one out of a 95 camaro that had 135,000 miles on it and the thing was in good shape when he took it out. Trust me, they are good units. Your only other choice is a hydraulic throwout bearing by tilton and a few others...

Mike Have you seen one of hydraulic throwout bearings installed? I've seen pictures of the part, but was curious how they anchor it on the bellhousing/throwout bearing sleeve? Was just curious, they look like a compact little idea, but wondered how well they worked. Best regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 There was a slave in the Summit catalog, had metal fittings too. I never called about it but I was curious to know if it would work with the T56. Anyone else see this? Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
