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

[Mark Cook]

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,
