Hydraulic Clutch Kit TR-6060 for LS and LT Swaps on 1955-1957 Chevy 210/150/Bel Air/Nomad
When swapping an LS or LT mill into a 1955 to 1957 Chevy 210, 150, Bel Air or Nomad chassis the 1955-1957 Chevy Hydraulic Clutch Kit TR-6060 tackles both heavy pedal effort and restricted header clearance with a master cylinder repositioned low on the firewall. The bolt in layout uses stock mounting points with no cutting or drilling and leaves room for large diameter exhaust systems to pass unimpeded. An integrated self adjusting mechanism compensates for clutch plate wear to maintain consistent engagement and factory free play tolerances over time. Matching pushrod length and pedal pivot settings preserves original geometry while a heat resistant stainless braided hose and dedicated brackets guarantee reliable operation under high line pressures.
Precision Bolt In Layout for Classic Firewall Preservation
The kit's bolt in layout leverages existing firewall mounting points to secure the master cylinder without any cutting or drilling, preserving the original sheet metal profile. This approach streamlines installation on 1955-1957 Chevy 210, 150, Bel Air and Nomad frames, saving time and preventing misalignment issues common in custom fabrications. By positioning the master cylinder low on the firewall and to the side, it creates ample room for large diameter exhaust headers to pass unimpeded. Fitment accuracy is ensured through CNC machined brackets that match factory hole patterns, so installers can rely on consistent placement every time. Retaining the stock firewall contour also maintains engine bay aesthetics, blending modern performance with classic styling.
Fluid Driven Clutch System for Effortless Pedal Feel
Transitioning to a hydraulic actuation method significantly reduces the force required at the clutch pedal, delivering a smooth, consistent feel from the first press. The system integrates a high volume master cylinder paired with a remote reservoir to maintain stable line pressure as engine speed and fluid temperature fluctuate. Brake-grade fluid moves through a stainless braided hose that resists expansion under load, preserving precise engagement even during spirited driving. With compatibility for both LS and LT engine platforms, this arrangement ensures a uniform pedal ratio and direct transfer of force to the clutch assembly. Precision fittings and a dedicated bracket network minimize leak potential and simplify bleed procedures.
Integrated Self Adjusting Mechanism for Consistent Engagement
The built in self adjusting mechanism automatically compensates for friction plate wear, guarding against clutch drag and excessive free play over thousands of miles. Internal return springs and sealing rings maintain fluid volume within the system, preserving the original engagement point without manual intervention. This maintenance-free design keeps pedal travel and engagement feel within factory tolerances, reducing the likelihood of improper disc clearance or binding. Drivers benefit from reliable performance from cold start to high-rev shifts, while builders can present a finished installation that remains trouble-free through repeated use. The sealed mechanism also prevents dirt ingress, safeguarding system integrity over its lifespan.
Stainless Braided Hose and Robust Brackets for Lasting Reliability
Every hydraulic line in this kit uses a stainless braided clutch hose that resists abrasion, heat soak and fluid degradation for years of service under high pressure. Dedicated firewall and frame rail brackets secure the hose routing away from exhaust headers and suspension components, reducing wear points. Fittings are precision machined to OEM thread standards, ensuring leak free connections and straightforward assembly. Pedal linkage and firewall mounts are constructed from high strength steel and anodized aluminum for superior stiffness without adding excessive weight. Together, these components form a cohesive system built to endure daily driving demands and high performance applications alike.
