I gave up and put my Mcjunk in the bin marked 'dont ever use again', I was going to throw it in the river but felt sorry for the fish!!

Whatever you plan to do, build an external slave system; I was hindered by the spaceframe chassis on the car I had then (a RAM cobra replica), but got around it by using an external Wilwood pull cylinder slave; presto a leak free result (this was on an ED kitted 302 SBF with Tremec TR3550TKO and steel scattershield).

My opinion? The McLeod hydraulic bearing is expensive junk, I cant speak for other manufacturers throw out bearings, but the very fact that theyre installed inside the bell housing makes a reseal a gearbox out job, whereas an external slave cylinder reseal is a casual saturday morning walk in the park:-)

My experience from this side of the pond!!

You must drink Budweiser and put ice in your tea. I didn't think the Brits were big whiners.

David,
That Jamo is behind everything.
