Hydraulic Clutch Kit for LS and LT T-56 Swaps in 1955-1957 Chevy 210/150/Bel Air/Nomad/Biscayne
If you are installing a T-56 behind an LS or LT engine into a 1955 to 1957 Chevy, this Hydraulic Clutch Kit T-56 simplifies space management under the dash by using factory pedal linkage to keep the firewall intact and the original interior unaltered. Uniquely built with a throw out bearing assembly from 1998 to 2002 Camaro and Firebird, the system delivers consistent pedal travel while freeing up room for aftermarket headers. Brackets bolt to factory pivot points and firewall holes, so models such as the 210, 150, Bel Air, Nomad or Biscayne retain their classic under dash finish without cutting or welding. In addition, the stainless braided hose and reservoir bracket provide reliable fluid flow and straightforward bleeding for lasting clutch performance.
Hydraulic Throw Out Bearing Ensures Consistent Clutch Travel
The bearing assembly borrowed from 1998 through 2002 Camaro and Firebird models brings a self-adjusting hydraulic circuit that maintains uniform pressure as the clutch disc wears. By balancing force automatically within the system, it eradicates the need for manual adjustments and keeps engagement points consistent over thousands of miles. Drivers will notice a stable pedal feel whether cruising city streets or tackling winding backroads, and maintenance intervals are extended thanks to this self-regulating design. Overall, it delivers predictable clutch response and minimizes downtime associated with routine checks.
Factory Pedal Linkage Brackets Preserve Under Dash Integrity
This kit's custom brackets bolt directly to the vehicle's existing pedal pivot points and original firewall holes, ensuring a true bolt in installation. It preserves the classic under dash finish of 1955–1957 Chevy models without any cutting or welding, protecting both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Precise geometry keeps the master cylinder aligned, preventing binding or misalignment that can degrade shift quality over time. Builders save hours on setup and enjoy a clean fit that honors the car's factory appearance.
Stainless Braided Hose and Remote Reservoir for Reliable Fluid Flow
The included stainless steel braided hose resists expansion under pressure, maintaining crisp pedal feel even under hard use. Its heat resistant design shields hydraulic fluid from high temperatures near headers and exhaust paths. A remote reservoir attaches via a GM style quick disconnect fitting to simplify bleeding and fluid service, while robust clamps and fittings keep the line secure against vibration. Clean routing options and durable materials ensure uninterrupted flow and long service life in demanding driving conditions.
Passenger Side Master Cylinder Position Optimizes Header Clearance
Relocating the master cylinder to the passenger side of the firewall frees vital space for primary exhaust tubes in tight engine bays. This arrangement accommodates larger diameter headers without interference and improves exhaust flow for enhanced engine performance. The repositioned lever ratio also delivers a firmer bite point with reduced pedal travel, granting direct driver feedback and sharper control. By marrying classic interior styling with modern exhaust capabilities, the kit achieves both functional and visual harmony.
Engineered for precise fit and dependable operation in your LS or LT T-56 swap.
