Default Change it.

NJ2000R,

As already mentioned, do yourself a favor and change to a standard external TO setup unless you'll learn to like pulling your seats/tunnel and transmission every once in a while... After trying two different high-quality internal hydraulic throwout bearings over a few years, and getting stranded a few times, it was real easy to see why getting back to basics was the right thing to do.

When the internal types are working, they work great. If everything is not perfectly within spec and tolerances at various points, they can become unreliable - quickly. When they go out for stupid reasons, it can be very frustrating. Seals pop out, lines leak, fittings get loose over time... Kind of clugey if you ask me. ERA uses a nice, clean, basic external configuration that I would strongly recommend changing to. Good Luck.
