LS and LT Hydraulic Clutch Kit TR-6060 for 1955-1957 Chevy 210/150/Bel Air/Nomad
The 1955 to 1957 Chevy Hydraulic Clutch Kit TR-6060 addresses the common headache of stiff pedal linkages and cramped header space when shoehorning an LS or LT engine behind a classic Chevy firewall. It uses a precise bolt in design that positions the master cylinder out of the way of aftermarket exhaust headers without altering the factory firewall. With exact fitment for 150, 210, Bel Air and Nomad models and an integrated self adjusting mechanism, clutch pedal travel stays consistent as friction plates wear over thousands of miles. Installation requires no cutting or drilling and the stainless braided hose and dedicated mounting brackets guarantee reliable performance under high line pressure.
Master Cylinder Placement for Improved Header Clearance
By mounting the master cylinder to the side of the firewall and low to the frame rails this clutch kit creates additional room for large diameter exhaust headers. The bolt in system uses the stock mounting points so no sheet metal cutting or drilling is required and the original firewall profile remains intact. This precise positioning not only simplifies the build but also prevents contact between clutch plumbing and hot exhaust components. Installers will appreciate that the pedal geometry is preserved when matching the pushrod length and pivot point to the factory design. As a result, the classic Chevy engine bay stays tidy without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Hydraulic Clutch Mechanics for Smooth Operation
Converting from a mechanical linkage to a fluid driven clutch greatly reduces the force required at the pedal box while maintaining crisp gear engagement. The included master cylinder and remote reservoir work together to maintain consistent line pressure as engine speed and temperature vary. Fluid travels through a stainless braided hose that resists heat and abrasion and preserves responsiveness even under tough conditions. With exact fitment for LS and LT platforms the system eliminates free play and offers a direct feel that drivers will notice from the first shift. The design also helps avoid leaks and spongy action thanks to precision fittings and a tight seal on each connection.
Self Adjusting Mechanism for Maintenance Free Clutch Control
The built in self adjusting system automatically compensates for friction plate wear, keeping the engagement point stable over many miles of driving. Internal springs and sealing rings maintain clutch fluid volume as discs wear down, preventing the need for manual adjustments. This feature ensures that pedal free play remains within factory tolerances, reducing the likelihood of maladjusted engagement or drag. Enthusiasts benefit by avoiding frequent service intervals, while builders can present a finished vehicle with consistent performance. The mechanism is sealed to resist contamination and air intrusion, ensuring fluid reliability throughout its service life.
Durable Components and Premium Hose Construction
Every component in this kit is selected for strength and lasting operation in high pressure hydraulic circuits. The stainless braided clutch hose resists bursting and external abrasion for a reliable connection between master cylinder and slave. Mounting brackets and pedal linkage are made with sturdy steel or high grade aluminum to withstand constant load cycles without bending or flexing. Precision fittings are matched to OEM style threads, making assembly straightforward and leak free. Together these parts deliver a service life that meets the demands of both daily driving and spirited open road adventures.
Engineered for a precise fit and reliable clutch performance mile after mile.
