Hydraulic Clutch Kit for LS and LT Swaps on 1955-1957 Chevy 210/150/Bel Air/Nomad/Biscayne
Adapting an LS or LT engine into a classic 1955 to 1957 Chevy often runs into space constraints beneath the dash and firewall modifications that sap project time. The 1955 to 1957 Chevy Hydraulic Clutch Kit T-56 attaches directly to factory pedal linkage and mounting points for a true bolt in installation that keeps the firewall intact and preserves original under dash finish. Featuring a throw out bearing assembly sourced from 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird the kit delivers consistent pedal travel while freeing up header clearance for aftermarket exhaust systems.
Consistent Clutch Adjustment Through Hydraulic Design
The hydraulic system uses a throw out bearing assembly from 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird to deliver consistent pedal engagement as the clutch disc wears. By automatically balancing pressure within the circuit, this arrangement removes the need for manual adjustments and keeps engagement points stable over time. Drivers benefit from predictable feel under all conditions, from daily street driving to spirited backroad runs. The built-in self adjusting feature also reduces routine maintenance tasks, ensuring the clutch operates at peak performance mile after mile.
Bolt In Bracket System Maintains Original Firewall Integrity
Custom steel brackets attach directly to the factory pedal pivot points and original firewall mounting holes, providing a true bolt in installation. This approach preserves the classic under dash finish and eliminates the need for cutting or welding, protecting the integrity of the chassis. Precise alignment of the master cylinder prevents binding and misalignment in the clutch linkage, so gear changes stay crisp from the moment you complete the swap. Builders save hours of setup work while keeping the interior styling of a 1955 through 1957 Chevy exactly as intended.
Stainless Braided Hose with Remote Fluid Reservoir
The kit includes a stainless steel braided clutch hose that resists expansion under pressure and shields fluid from heat near headers and engine surfaces. A remote reservoir mounts via a GM style quick disconnect fitting to simplify bleeding procedures and service intervals. High-strength clamps and fittings secure the line against vibration and movement, protecting fluid flow under demanding driving conditions. Installers will appreciate the clean routing options and the durable components that contribute to reliable hydraulic performance.
Master Cylinder Placement for Enhanced Exhaust Clearance
By locating the master cylinder on the passenger side of the firewall, this kit creates critical space for primary exhaust tubes in tight engine bays. Larger diameter headers can pass freely without interference, improving exhaust flow and overall power output. Shifting the cylinder also refines the lever ratio, producing a firmer bite point with reduced pedal travel for more direct driver feedback. This configuration strikes a balance between preserving classic under dash styling and accommodating modern aftermarket exhaust systems.
Engineered for precise fit and consistent performance in your LS or LT swap.
