[Fot] TR6 Race Clutch Release Bearing - Hydraulic or Standard w Slave Cylinder?

[Mark Cook via Fot <fot@autox.team.net>]

So, I one of my TR6s has a close ratio transmission with Mcleod hydraulic 
release bearing, which is leaking.  While there, trying to decide on whether to 
go back to a stock bearing, yoke etc, with an external slave cylinder.  For 
reference, as part of the engine rebuild, going with the Racetorations Arrow 
billet crank, 7 1/4" lightweight flywheel, cover and four paddle clutch disc. 

Not keen on having to remove the transmission for seal leaks related to the 
hydraulic release bearing.  At the same time not familiar enough to know if a 
hydraulic release bearing's failure rate is any worse than a standard release 
bearing.  Everything I have read makes the hydraulic bearing seem more 
sensitive to initial set up as well.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Mark Cook
