I took the transmission off and there is a tiny bit of fluid inside the bell housing. I think it is leaking. Going back to mechanical TOB and fork. I loved the smoothness of the HTOB and hate the wilwood slave setup, but since these have so many problems, I'll just get rid of it.

It took me forever to find the right TOB for the TKO. Any time I typed "throwout bearing TKO" into Google, Jegs or Summit, I only got hydraulic TOB results. I finally measured the outside diameter of the retaining bearing myself - 1.43". The only TOB that I could find with that diameter is the RAM-501. Every other mechanical TOB had a smaller internal diameter listed. Many had the right input shaft diameter - 1 1/8" - but had smaller ID than my retainer.
