I run a Chevy LS6 engine hooked up to a T56 Trans. This is the set up that's run in the Camero. It's the same HYD internal throw out used in the Vette as well. I read that it was tested for 1,000,000 cycles. I am using a CNC 3/4 MC and so far no problems.


Thinking about your problem more I do remember a clutch pedal not releasing because the rod was threaded to far into the clevis. It worked until the pedal was depressed just a little but further than usual. The pedal hit the extended part of the rod. It bent and became jammed between the clevis and the pedal. The pedal would not release. The fluid in the MC was dirty and gritty. I believe that the rod had been bent previous to the pedal not releasing. This caused a misalignment and the piston to wear on the cylinder. Eventually the seal would have failed.

An external set is great. But, you may have a simple problem with an easy fix.
