My only objection to resurrecting old posts is when the now new poster ask a different question than what started the old thread. In this case, I think it is relevant and Pete makes good points.

Back on point, I don't know why anyone would run a hydraulic TO bearing when an external slave is so much better. They are not adjustable as the clutch wears, are prone to overextension (particularly when we "garage engineers" set them up with different components), when they leak it ruins your day, they are difficult to bleed once installed, and I'm sure I can think up more reasons. The bottom line, for our cars an external slave is the only way to go.

If you are running one and have experience with both an external slave and internal TO, then by all means debate me and I will respect your perspective. This should be good.
