1955-1957 Chevy 210/150/Bel Air/Nomad/Biscayne LS and LT Hydraulic Clutch Kit T-56
When dropping an LS and LT engine into a 1955 to 1957 Chevy chassis, finding a clutch system that aligns modern T-56 transmissions with classic pedal linkages can be a challenge and the Chevy Hydraulic Clutch Kit T-56 for those years addresses that need with a complete self adjusting setup. Designed for models from the 210 and 150 to Bel Air, Nomad and Biscayne, it uses the 1998 through 2002 Camaro and Firebird throw out bearing to ensure reliable engagement. It installs with standard bracket and hardware for a simple bolt in fit while offering improved pedal feel and extra header clearance. The included reservoir and stainless braided hose deliver consistent actuation for precise gear changes from the moment it goes in place.
Streamlined Bolt In Design for Classic Chevy Frames
The bolt in design of this clutch kit allows installation without cutting or welding, preserving the integrity of your 1955 to 1957 Chevy chassis. By matching the original pedal linkage mounting points, it significantly reduces labor time and cost compared to custom setups. This approach ensures that the kit can be removed or upgraded in the future without leaving permanent alterations behind. Enthusiasts benefit from a near-stock appearance under the dash while still enjoying modern drivetrain performance.
Self-adjusting Hydraulic Clutch Ensures Consistency
The self-adjusting hydraulic mechanism automatically compensates for clutch disc wear, maintaining optimal pedal travel and engagement force at all times. Drivers will notice steady clutch bite and reduced pedal free play as the system continuously calibrates itself with each shift. This feature eliminates the need for manual adjustments, preventing abrupt changes in feel as components age. As a result, you get reliable operation mile after mile, whether on the street or the strip.
Stainless Braided Hose and Remote Reservoir for Precise Actuation
The included stainless braided clutch hose resists abrasion and expansion under pressure, delivering firm and predictable fluid transfer to the master cylinder. Paired with a remote reservoir and GM-style quick disconnect, the design simplifies bleeding and maintenance while ensuring an uninterrupted supply of hydraulic fluid. The high-grade fittings lock securely under vibration, reducing the risk of leaks in high-heat engine bays. Together, these components enable crisp shifts and stable clutch response in demanding driving conditions.
Enhanced Pedal Feel and Header Clearance for Aftermarket Exhaust
Re-engineered pedal geometry yields a firmer, more responsive feel that improves driver feedback during spirited driving. The revised master cylinder placement increases clearance for aftermarket exhaust headers, eliminating interference with stock roofed manifolds or custom designs. This extra room allows builders to fit larger primary tubes without interference, supporting better flow and performance gains. In combination, these refinements deliver a seamless integration of modern LS and LT engines into classic Chevy platforms.
Engineered to deliver consistent engagement and precise pedal feel for your LS LT swap.
