I was just at the Monterey Historics this weekend hanging out with 2 racer=
friends and one of their friends pops into our pit space with the news tha=
t his internal hydraulic release bearing leaked in the Friday session and t=
he clutch was inoperable.=C2=A0 He had a Cobra and pulling a trans in one o=
f those cars is an absolute bitch!=C2=A0 He wanted to know what our experie=
nce was with these bearings and if we had a replacement.=C2=A0 Everyone sai=
d they have had many problems with hydraulic leaks with these internal rele=
ase bearings and "no", they didn't have a spare.=C2=A0=C2=A0
Everyone's vote at our pit was to use the external linkage and slave cylind=
er.=C2=A0 When I used to go to the track with my car I always carried spare=
hydraulics and the external cylinder on my Spit was a snap to change.
By the way the Cobra guy couldn't find a replacement at the track and loade=
d his car on his trailer and missed his race.=C2=A0 All because of a damn i=
nternal hydraulic release bearing that he never thought he would have to re=
place!=C2=A0 Racing is fun!

Mark, I have always run the 'stock' style T.O. bearing.=C2=A0 I've run sev=
eral different clutches, from Laycock to Tilton, and have always had good l=
uck with it.
I've known several TR racers who have used the 'hydraulic' type=C2=A0 mecha=
nism and have always had problems at the track and have been difficult if n=
ot impossible to fix.
My vote is the stock linkage and a Tilton clutch,=20
BTW, car is still for sale.
