Throw It Out
McLeod's new hydraulic throwout bearing assembly is perfect for both stock and custom applications, and it eliminates the need to fabricate a custom linkage. These new McLeod bearings feature CNC-machined hard-anodized billet aluminum collars, swivel elbow fittings, and AN4 steel braided Teflon inner lines that are rated to 2,500 psi. Combined with McLeod's external slave cylinder, it's the perfect setup for vehicles that need to have the engine removed for clutch or transmission maintenance. Applications include the bolt-on style for GM and Ford vehicles and the slip-on style for Chrysler products.
