I didn't do the initial install of the Hydo - frankly, I ended up with more mechanics than I can count.

I am also confused after a couple years as to what parts I really have. I know the Hyd T/O bearing is McCleod. After looking at the McCleod website, I'm concluding the Pressure Plate is also McCleod. Same color, design, Long Style with three fingers.

So the only Ram part was probably the disc. Question. I am inclined to go with the McCleod 800 series........any thoughts? Or should I stick with the 100 Series. Is the reference above re street use suggesting the 100 Series over the 800??

Last question. Everyone keeps talking about a 12 Inch, but I only see 10.5 on McCleods website, and my PP diameter is only 11 inches so 12 can't work. Whats up with the descrepancy here?????

I will have to figure out how to measure when I put it back together........I only know that when I removed the Hyd T/O bearing after pulling the tranny, that is was just over three full turns from being "fully locked" to tranny - ie three more turns and it was up against tranny at end of spline. Dunno if that is meaningful to anyone. Guessing not!

Any recommendations on easiest way to set T/O? Do you measure after it is installed and adjust? Sorry for all the Q's.......
