Really nice of Tilton to reply to the questions here. Sheesh, nice service.

Good question! Looks like it will be better to buy a Hydramax instead and proceed to use shims if needed.

Good info, thanks!

I plan to use a pump and release valve to open the clutch automatically, how do you suggest I adjust the throw limit with this setup? Thank you

[@James-Orr]

Are these available for Hellcat Challengers? If so what is the part number?

Hello I have a question when measuring air gap spacing on a t56 slave what do I do if both measurements are equal ?? as in (no air gap) adjusting slave out will make it tighter applying more pressure on throwout bearing..

What keeps the threaded adjusting sleeve from vibrating out of adjustment ?

[@barniechong1183]

instructions says to apply loctite red on it

[@lsonechevelle]

@@barniechong1183wrong. You use nothing. That adjustable sleeve doesn't sit on anything that rotates. Just use petroleum jelly for the inner o ring

Hey if you’re using the 0.25in bar to measure the distance again at 1:45 you have to add it back to the final measurement number, or just never subtract it in the first place right?

The bearings they use on these are absolute garbage. A large flat-faced bearing that you cannot source ANYWHERE except through Tilton, at $50 each. I wish I had never bought my Tilton 6000 series hydraulic release bearing. It's a beautiful piece of machining, but even a standard Ford Ranger oem replacement slave cylinder/throw-out bearing out-performs and outlasts this Tilton garbage.

What type of application are you using it for? Street? Track? Type of vehicle?
