Default Toploader Hydraulics now Available!

We have finally added a Toploader hydraulic system to our line of HYDRAMAX Hydraulic systems. Up until now we had to use a very expensive bearing that made the kit too pricey. But our engineers have gotten their heads screwed on tight and we are now shipping our first complete kits for the 1-1/16" x 10spline Toploaders. A new steel bearing retainer (not a cheesy plastic base) is included but is not shown in the image. We are working to get this updated.



Give us a call if you need to get rid of your cable or mechanical linkage, or just want smoother clutch operation.

Default Hydraulic Clutch: No fork

Bloody newbies Yes, you are correct, you will get rid of all of the mechanical linkage including the fork and the mechanical throw out bearing. You will have a concentric release bearing, which looks like a throw out bearing on the front of the transmission, but works like a brake caliper. Fluid goes in, bearing is extended and pushes directly on the fingers of the clutch. Just like a caliper extends and presses on the brake pads when you put fluid in. HYDRAMAX also has the only integrated pedal stop available, which limits pedal travel so just enough fluid reaches the slave bearing without damaging the seals. Hope this helps. Gray
