1955-1957 Chevy 150/210/Bel Air/Nomad LS and LT Hydraulic Clutch Kit TR-6060
For enthusiasts converting to LS or LT power in a 1955 through 1957 Chevy 150, 210, Bel Air or Nomad chassis the TR-6060 hydraulic clutch kit puts the master cylinder low on the firewall to clear header runs and ease pedal pressure. It uses a bolt in layout with factory firewall mounts so no cutting or drilling is required while preserving original engine bay lines. A built in self adjusting mechanism maintains consistent engagement by compensating for friction plate wear and factory free play tolerances. Dedicated stainless braided hose and precision brackets secure the system under high line pressure and simplify bleed procedures.
Precision Bolt In Firewall Integration
The kit uses factory firewall holes and CNC machined brackets to anchor the master cylinder without any cutting or drilling, preserving the original sheet metal profile. Positioning the cylinder low on the firewall clears the path for large exhaust headers, blending modern clutch function with vintage engine bay aesthetics. This direct fitment approach streamlines installation on 1955–1957 Chevy 150, 210, Bel Air, and Nomad models by eliminating fabrication guesswork. Installers benefit from consistent placement every time, as bracket contours and hole patterns match factory dimensions precisely. By retaining the stock firewall lines, the system maintains the classic appearance while accommodating LS and LT drivetrains.
Hydraulic Actuation for Effortless Clutch Control
Moving to a hydraulic actuation method significantly reduces the force required at the pedal, delivering a smooth and predictable feel from the first press. A high volume master cylinder paired with a remote reservoir ensures stable fluid flow and consistent line pressure, even as temperatures climb during spirited driving. Brake grade fluid travels through a stainless braided hose that resists expansion under load, preserving direct transfer of force to the clutch assembly. Precision fittings and a dedicated bracket network minimize potential leak points and facilitate straightforward bleeding. The result is a uniform pedal ratio and reliable engagement with both LS and LT engine platforms.
Self Adjusting Clutch Engagement Mechanism
The built in self adjusting mechanism automatically compensates for friction plate wear, maintaining factory free play tolerances without any manual intervention. Internal return springs and high quality sealing rings keep fluid volume stable, preserving the original engagement point over thousands of miles. This maintenance free design eliminates the need for periodic disc clearance checks, reducing the risk of clutch drag or excessive free play. Drivers enjoy consistent shift feel from cold idle through high rev ranges, while builders can present a finished installation that remains trouble free. A sealed internal chamber also prevents dirt and moisture ingress, safeguarding system integrity.
Stainless Braided Hose and Rigid Bracket Network
Every hydraulic line in the kit is crafted from a stainless braided hose that stands up to abrasion, heat soak, and fluid degradation, ensuring durable performance under high line pressures. Dedicated firewall and frame rail brackets route the hose away from exhaust headers and suspension components, eliminating wear points and enhancing safety. Precision machined fittings conform to OEM thread standards for leak free connections and easy assembly. Bracket materials include high strength steel and anodized aluminum, offering corrosion resistance and rigidity without adding excessive mass. Together, these elements form a cohesive system built to endure daily driving demands and spirited use alike.
Engineered for precise fit and lasting performance with LS and LT setups.
