Home made Hydraulic Clutch Setup

I have a hydraulic throw out bearing in my Coronet, it’s great. I understand the kits are expensive but it will save time and aggravation to just bite the bullet and get one.

If you do go the DIY route, You’ll have to make sure whatever slave piston you use works with the clutch pedal travel and does not under or over throw the capacity.

You’ll also want to make sure you have shims to tailor the distance the piston is off the clutch fingers. It’s basically the same thing as a disc brake piston where the piston needs to be close to the rotor surface but when you release the pedal it retracts. You want it in the right spot or you will have problems with the application/release.
