the ford cossie guys a bmw part (thrust bearing )for their hydraulic clutch,

and i dont understand why you need to go to a pedal box to just have a hydralic clutch


You don't have to, but I'll be fitting one anyway, so it makes sense to get the right one from the start.

Ah, don't see why the braking has to be shit, if you get the right size master cylinder it should be fine.

You'll need to get as much slack out of the system as possible so you can run a fairly small M/C, along with some high-torque pads.

Very nice, does that setup work on a BE4 casing? And did you need to do any machining to the gearboc to fit that slave cylinder?

much probably will fit, it's a very compact hydraulic release bearing... alcon one has 46mm tall, this one is 41mm tall... (5mm can make the difference). Only measuring you can be sure.. but must have enough space, for the bearing and for a mounting flange

Dind't do any machining to the gearbox, just made the flange between the 2 hole patterns..

f*ck me you're taking this seriously Jim! Are you going to fabricate a pedal box then?

If you speak to Helix they can do a clutch that will be perfect without losing the clutch cable... Might be a cheaper option? And easier to repair at the circuit if needed, as if the slave seal goes it's gearbox off.

With regards starts a lot of series do rolling starts so this will help limit clutch wear...

I don't know if anyone has done that yet though, the box pictured is an ML!

quite a few BE4's have a standard hydraulic clutch slave bolted across the front with an arm like a BE1 box.

I use a ML5T gearbox, but there isn't why not use this setup in a BE gearbox

will take a picture of this hydraulic release bearing in a BE4 gearbox

One thing you can be sure... its the most expensive way Sad
But people say it's the best option possible for clutch release

If you can use a slave cylinder outside the gearbox much probably will be a lot easier and cheaper

Hi guys,

registered specifically for this thread, as the topic is something i've been thinking about for a while now.

I have a slightly overpowered 206 GTI (that's an understatement...LOL), running a very aggressive AP Racing twin plate 184mm clutch, on an GTI 180 BE4 gearbox, using a cable operated AP clutch bearing. Needless to say, apart from operating more like an on/off switch rather than a clutch, it's EXTREMELY heavy - combination of the 2 makes it impossible to modulate. So what i'm thinking is that it would be a good idea to replace the regular bearing with a hydraulic one, if i can find one slim enough with adequate throw-out.

I was also thinking, instead of making the hydraulic bearing fir the cable bearing gearbox, it would be much easier, i think, to find a car that already uses a BE4 gearbox and a master/slave hydraulic bearing setup, cannibalize the casing from it, and combine it with the existing gearbox on the car - and use the OE hydraulic setup on the AP clutch. Yes, it might not be ideal, might be heavy, might not work at all, but still worth a try.

Ideas? Recommendations? Comments?

Also, what car uses a BE4 that fits onto an EW10 block, with cable linkage and hydraulic bearing setup?

Thanks.

...well, do you think i'd be asking that question if that car really had hydraulic bearing + cables? Smile I've got 4 GTI 180 boxes lying about, and they are all mechanical with rod linkage.

can't be from 180's then LOL

the 138 gti clutch setup is the same as the 180, but the 180 uses cable shift.

Yes, they're all from the 180, but i'm a moron, and a very tired one at the moment. making STUPID mistakes Smile Asking a similar question about another car's gearbox, and mixing up my facts...never mind LOL

Yes, they are cable operated, but using mechanical clutch, so no good. Other ideas?
