Thinking About Installing A Hydraulic Clutch? Let American Powertrain Show You How To Set Up The Throw Out Bearing In This Video

There are lots of benefits to adding a hydraulic clutch setup to your hot rod. Less pedal effort, smoother actuation, and lots more room for headers and other components that tend to run into linkages, levers, and other mechanical pieces. Installing a hydraulic clutch has been made far easier over the years with products like American Powertrain’s Hydramax system which provides you all the parts and pieces to complete the install. One of the critical parts of the job is getting the proper measurements to insure that the hydraulic throw out bearing is going to properly engage and disengage the clutch when you tell it to with your foot. Like almost everything mechanical, it isn’t a crazy tough job to get this set right but there are measurements required and those measurements need to be taken from specific places to get you the right information. This video shows you how to do that.

Gray Fredrick from American Powertrain leads us through these measurements and explains the hows and whys of the system. Obviously there are other parts of the install like mounting the master cylinder and those vary by application but this information that the video presents is applicable to anyone installing a hydraulic throw out bearing, no matter the assigned application. The old carpenter’s adage goes, “Measure twice, cut once.” The hot rodder’s version goes, “Measure twice, install once.” These two videos show you how to do just that.
