Is anyone using a hydraulic release bearing?
I was on Tilton's web site a while ago and read HRB install manuals and two of them caught my eye - primarily Honda HRB and MR2 HRB install manuals (98-1115 and 98-1116 respectively). The instructions for Honda mention that the HRB should be seated on the transmission and the MR2 HRB gets secured using rubber rings on the pilot sleeve. It appears that some HRBs don't have to be bolted to the transmission to function properly.
Is anyone aware of an off the shelf HRB that could be used on DSMs (Tilton, QM, Howe, etc.)?
Although the transmission removal would be a little bit more complicated without some sort of sealed quick-connect fitting, I would assume that the elimination of the stock slave, fork and fulcrum would lead to a more consistent pedal engagement.
I'm currently away from my "spare" parts so I can't make any measurements.
Thanks.
