Thumbs up Clutch hydraulics brand?

Guess I will buy a new set since I have a reman ZF going in with new clutch.

Any brands that you guys prefer over others?

Thanks!

This is another question I have been curious about. I bought the pre-bled Wagner from rockauto for $40-45 or so. It's great but the pedal is a pretty stout push. Some of the other parts mention solid flywheel and this one didn't. I don't know if there are units that will give you more hydraulic advantage and a better feel to the pedal.

Exclamation

I see South Bend offers a setup. I should call them here.

Ugh. More BS.

I just use an auto zone unit and like it quite a bit. But here is the key. Don’t use the recommended slave cylinder. Do a search and double check me, but I believe I got one for an 1989 f350. The slave is bigger and has a bleeder screw. It was an exact fit and seems much more robust

What did you end up using for your hydraulics? I am also curious about the smf vs dmf. I have a smf Luk clutch, and it's time for new hydraulics.

Thumbs up

Whatever was on my rig is still there, I just flushed the system out. Did a gravity bleed, make sure to keep it full and suck out the old **** on the master first. Took about 15 or 20 min, just enough time to suck down a cold one! Moisture in the hydraulic fluid (brake fluid in this case) is what kills the seals.
