- Subscribe to watch Mike finish this TREMEC TKO installation into his 1969 Pontiac GTO Restomod, in his home garage! If he can do this at home, so can you! "TREMEC TKO or TKX or T56 Install, Part 9b: How to install a hydraulic throw out bearing aka "Slave Cylinder". can be applied to all TREMEC installs. In this episode, we need to locate and install the slave cylinder, which we frankly need to re-name to something else... like Student, or Kid. The term "slave cylinder" has got to go!

I’m doing mine as well but I’m having to pull my transmission to do it. I’m no mechanic and I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m a little intimidated by the job but your videos give me the confidence to try it. Man, I will tell you that your instructional videos are crazy helpful to myself and many other do it youreslfers. Thanks bro.
Thanks Matt! I really appreciate the comment. Take it slow, be safe, you'll get there... see ya!
Just to confirm, the McLeod clutch came with a couple extra parts. One is a bearing and the other is like a spacer. This is a throw out bearing and maybe a pilot spacer?...that is replaced with the hydraulic green accordion looking thing? "I have NO idea what I'm doing" 😊
Hey Brother... I have no idea what you're looking at. If it's about an inch in diameter, it's a new pilot bearing. Some cars use bushings, maybe they gave you both?
I don't know either but I'm going with - McLeod probably doesn't sell a clutch without a linkage type throw out bearing. Silver Sport sent me their clutch in this kit. You probably didn't see it because you reused your whatchamacallit.
@@designsinorbit Ohhh yes... mine was a Dooo Hicky. Let us know what you learn!
Your videos are so helpful. I had to loosen my bellhousing to get it to line up perfectly but it all came together with your help. Thanks
That's great! Glad I could help... and thanks for the comment!
One tip about bleeding the hydraulic clutch is this....: After you hook up the line and the master you fill the master 1/2 way with dot 4 then while under the car you slowly compress the bearing and the hydraulic clutch until you bottom out then there will still about an extra 1/2" of travel in there and thats whare it gets messy if you dont put the cap on loosely but the last 1/2" really powerblasts the air out through the master enough to where you will have to refill the reservoir to 1/2 way again and once the air is out doing this 2-3 times the fluid pressure on the hydraulic bearing stays locked back to make it like it was before adding fluid using the spring to hold the bearing out until you install the trans and push the pedal. I guarantee if you do it my way bleeding becomes a pinch me moment as the hydraulic clutch works instantly...Take care.
Thanks for leaving that detailed comment... kinda like bench bleeding. I like it! Thanks!
I just bought a TKX and I was wondering if I needed to change the bearing retainer it came with to install the throw out bearing or could I use the one it came with and just put in the guide rods for the bearing ?
That's a fantastic question. I'm pretty sure there's also a pilot diameter that matches the throw out bearing. Regardless, I would ask the manufacturer of the throw out bearing you're buying to find out if it needs an anti-rotate bar, AND/OR if you can just add it to your current retainer. Let us know!
Can not use a "slide ruler" You need to use a caliper as someone like McLeod requires .100-.250" clearance.
You referring to my straight edge and ruler trick? Sure, you can use a caliper instead of a ruler... same thing. At the time of this video, spec was 1/8" to 3/8" (.125" to .375" if you're using calipers... ha, ha..) Thanks
Quick question.. Where did you get the boot that goes in the clutch fork hole? did it come with the SST kit? I can't find one with the holes for the hydraulic lines instead of the fork.
Great question! Yeah that came with the SST kit. Give em a call.
Thanks again, Monty. The instructions help but seeing it done is so much better. I've been working a couple hours each day on my swap...New pedals in along with the master cylinder.
I'm hoping to get the automatic out tomorrow . Your videos help people. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks Gregory! I'm happy to hear that... and I totally understand chipping away at the project. (Story of my life, ha, ha...) See you soon!
Good vids bro. No need to get PC with the names of cylinders tho... car parts are not racist. We are all family.
Ha! Thanks Brother!
Do I need a hydraulic throw out bearing in a tkx 5 speed
Good question. No. It's optional.
Great Video My friend!! Installing my hydro clutch tonight:)
Saaaweeet! Glad it helped... I'm loving every minute of use of mine. Have fun!
What parts needed to make this with work chevy 350. Clutch, pressure plate - they make fingers that don't stick out some much, flywheel. 2 peace main, What's the specs on the bearing fully close. I need to lose 0.44 spacing. To use a hydraulic bearing. 1.710 bearing closed press in on the clutch fingers.
Good questions. I highly suggest calling Silver Sport Transmissions they have the knowledge, and the parts. Have fun!
@@FastMontySilver sport kinda brush me off. When trying to get specs on parts. I have about 7 people now I found going through this as well. It's very hard trying to get this info. flywheel, clutch and disk, Using a stock type chevy bell-housing.
Sorry to hear that. BTW, have you considered using a transmission spacer? That's what I had to do. @@jagco2594
SST's instructions weren't all that clear on the bellhousing install with the slave cylinder/throwout bearing. This was very helpful. Thanks.
Agreed, and glad I could help! Thanks for the comment.
Awesome job man. Doing this as we speak on a 67 Shelby Restomod with a SST TKO600 w/ hydraulic clutch. This makes a lot better sense than those directions! Keep up the great work!
Great to hear David! Let me know if you have any questions... Good luck with the project!
Hello, How it save knee? 2015 Mustang 2.3t come with stock Hydradulic CSC, and it is killing my knee. What effect the clutch pedal force? pressure plate spring or Clutch Master Cylinder or Slave Cylinder?
Good question... it's a little easier on my car, because I switched from a Mechanical Spring to Hyrdaulic. For your car, you need to look into a lighter Pressure Plate. Unless, there's a larger diameter master cylinder available? I do not know. Let us know what you figure out!
@@FastMonty Thank you for ur reply. I just buy a Mcleod twin disc clutch kit, dont know pressure plate spring lighter or not. I know the Mustang V6 and GT`s clutch are softer than 2.3, and 2018+ model year`s GT (which has twin disc) clutch is much softer(23lb in 5.0 vs 33.6lb in 2.3t). And all of them using different clutch master cylinder and CSC, but there is not any info online shows the cubage of each cylinder.
@@JJ-zm7kj Awesome! I have a twin disc clutch too, and love it. Have fun!
I just did this today and have 1/16 difference my bellhousing was 2 and 7/16 and the hydraulic throw out bearing was 2 and 3/8.
Sounds like you might need a spacer. I'd contact SIlverSport to see what options you have. Most likely, you'll need a transmission spacer, to pull it off the Bell housing. Let me know how it goes!
I called SST and they sent me a .25 spacer plate no charge since I bought the complete perfect fit system. I just finished installing the transmission today. Now off to measure for the drive shaft. I have the TKX and other than cutting the opening for the shift hump I had no other tunnel mods required on my 66 Malibu! Thanks for all the awesome content!
@@richardrosa4826 Awesome Richard! SST is fantastic like that... which is why I always say I love their Customer Service. Thanks for sharing your build specs, and that the TKX was a breeze for your Malibu. Keep up the great work!
How are you going the bolt down the slave cylinder on the front of the trans? This makes no sense the way you are going about this.
Well, that's because it doesn't. It's meant to "float" in between the trans and pressure plate. Hope that makes sense, let me know, if not. And, yes, this is exactly how you install this system. Works awesome. Thanks
@@FastMonty i just watched a few videos because I need to replace slave cylinder on 2000 SS and all other videos show bolting it to the front of the trans, your trans has the bolt holes but you are not using them. You would not want your throw out bearing touching the fingers of the pressure plate all the time it not made to do this much wear and tear. Even in my old big block 69 you have a spring that keeps the throw out from touching the pressure plate fingers unless your are using the clutch. Maybe you should check with silver state.
@mechardable I hear you... a 2000 SS does not have a Temec TKO/TKX does it? Point is, not all throwout bearings install the same way. In this case, the throwout bearing does NOT bolt to the transmission and DOES ride on the pressure plate fingers at ALL times. That's the way it was designed. My video is accurate because I had Silver Sport comment on it BEFORE I posted it. They use it now as their install video. So, definitely find a video that's applicable to your make and model car and transmission. Good Luck!
Is that a stock tb? Why no use a after market one? Just curious, I heart titon makes a good one but I always feel some stock stuff work good as well.... Any input? Working in 400/t56.
Hey Mike, Can you clarify what a "TB" is?
@@FastMonty throwout bearing
@@mikegomez5796 The Throwout bearing I installed is considered to be after market. I don't know of any "stock" throwout bearing that would work. Thanks,
Just curious, why don't you just leave the bell housing on the trans and put the entire trans/bell housing on the motor, that way the hydraulic throwout bearing isn't bouncing around? I am putting my kit together so I'm curious if my way is wrong for some reason.
Good question, not sure what car you have... but on mine, I don't have the lateral room to move the entire bell house the length of the input shaft to get it into the clutch. (It would hit the tunnel) So, the bell has to go on first, then the transmission. Hope that helps.
@@FastMonty Ah, got it, I am assembling mine outside the car. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
@@lususvir Yup, that makes sense. I could not remove the trans and engine at the same time. So, lucky you. ha, ha. have fun!
2 questions on this SST hydraulic child cylinder... 1- it just sits on that one rod, doesn't get bolted to the trans? 2- only 1 line? (self bleeding? how does that work?)
Great Questions... #1, that child "floats" on that rod, and does not need to be bolted down. #2, here's the bleeding video. ruclips.net/video/C_yFtT6Paiw/видео.html
Any issues since the install?? I just ordered the hydraulic kit
None. I love it... just make sure you tighten that Acorn nut down on the hydraulic line during install. Have fun!
@@FastMonty thanks for the timely response and all the guidance from your vids
@@DriveBreakFixRepeat70 Yup! No worries!
Great video. I have a ? I just ordered a TKX 6 speed. How much trouble is it to change over to a hydraulic throw out and what are the benefits over a manual one?
Thanks Chad! It's easy, just watch my video series on the hydraulic clutch install. It's easier to push than a manual clutch, and automatically adjusts as the clutch wears. Good luck, and dont be afraid to ask questions! Welcome to the channel. (Ohhh, I'm getting a TKX too :))
Also gives you a ton of room for headers.
Hey bro, What’s the part number of the slave ( concentric) cilinder or where can I find it.?? I need this part. (exactly like this one). Thank you.
Good question Mario... You'll have to call Silver Sport Transmissions. All I can find is the link to the full kit; shiftsst.com/blog/post/hydraulics-kit.html Good luck, and thanks for the comment!
Will this reduce pressure for a performance clutch?
You mean pedal force versus Mechanical? Yes. :) Good question, thanks.
@@FastMonty is it less force on clutch pedal compared to a regular slave cylinder? Idea is to save my knees using a performance clutch. Thanks
@@kutlee2009 Good question... I don't know how it would compare to another slave cylinder. I went from Manual to Hydraulic, which is easier on my knee.
What do i do if it to tight with no spacers yet?
Great point, Thordan. I probably didn't mention that. For those curious, if you didn't have enough space when the throw out bearing is fully collapsed, you need to add a spacer between the transmission and bell housing. Reason is you'll need around .200" of play to accommodate for disc wear, because the fingers on the pressure plate start to extend, closer to the throw out bearing. If you don't have enough space, the pressure plate will not fully apply pressure on the disc, and you'll start prematurely slipping. So, contact Silver Sport Transmissions (www.shiftsst.com) and ask for a transmission spacer for your vehicle. They're typically .250" thickness, and around $60. Hope that helps! And, thanks for the comment!
@@FastMonty thanks
@@FastMonty I went on the that site..I couldnt find any spacers in there search engine
@@DanneyTanner Yeah, send them an email. I know they have them.
Why would you not leave the bell housing attached to the trans? Seems kinda backwards. Not saying your wrong. Just curious
At what point? Measuring the throw out bearing? Or, installing it to the engine? If you're referring to installing it on the engine, you don't have enough room inside the tunnel, to have a direct shot at inserting the input shaft through the clutch, and into the pilot bearing. It's about 8" of throw, where the tunnel might allow you to move it 1". It's impossible. :)
@@FastMonty perfect explanation. Starting this one install tonight on a 67 Firebird. Great videos! I’m lucky and the engine and trans can be stabbed at one time.
@@timmay0330 Ohhh, nice! I'm jealous. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
The relationship you were looking for is Citizen/government....this is tge Citizen cylinder.
Ha! That's a good one. Thanks!
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia..
Especially when there are no clouds.
What no shims
Nope. I could've added a shim in between the transmission and the bell, to get us more room for clutch wear. Borderline call. Thanks!
Don't go PC bro it's Master and Slave
Ha! Yup, bad joke.
Really?...parent, kid...are you for real?...
What? Too soon? Ha, hahaaa
Layoff the Political correct talk man. I came here for cars so I can escape the BS on tv.
Just tryin to be funny... too soon, eh? See ya!
Fast monty goes woke. Not everything is racist
Ha! Yup, bad joke.
@@FastMonty i hope so
You lost me at "political Correctness"....
Some jokes work, some do not... thanks.
