I am looking to install hydraulic clutch set up in a 66 Barracuda. Does any one use one or know where to locate parts for this. I would like to use a hyraulic release bearing if available for the 833 trans. any help would be appreciated.

I'm using generic wilwood parts, wilwood master cyl and slave cyl to actuate the stock clutch rod. The hydraulic throwout bearings are very expensive and problematic from what I've heard.

I'm using a hydraulic clutch with hydraulic TO bearing on a Keisler 5 speed setup. It has worked well and been reliable. Keisler could supply the master cylinder, pushrod and resovoir. Not sure if the TO bearing would fit a 4 speed. Check their web site or call. It would also be worth a call to one of the 4 speed specialists like Brewer.
