Used for less than 500 miles on my new TKO600, removing it because the clearance is marginal (.030") on my new TKO and since i am pulling my engine, now is the time to make the swap.
I'm taking the tranny out Saturday so I can ship it Saturday or Monday via USPS Priority or UPS, you choose.
GM Hydraulic bearing assembly Including bleeder kit, utilizing the 1.375" transmission collar size, 1 3/4" Compressed length with .700 travel
I overstroked it two different times which made it leak so I bought a new O ring kit for it and did not put it back in, since my engine is out I rebuilt my stock hydraulic slave and will go back to stock.
If you want to buy it let me know and I can reply tonight when I get back home.
Have you been using a stock pull-style clutch with that Howe TOB? I ask because it's something that I've been looking to do but the TOB looks like it's for a push-style clutch. I can't quite get my head around how it would work. Thanks,
Jon
Hmmm, wait a minute. Do I have this backwards?

For an '84 Camaro it is push ? Pull type is '93-'97 ?
Also, I had a look at the installation instructions on Summit and they seem adamant that the master cylinder be a 3/4" bore. I've got the Mcleod adjustable MC ready to go in but it is 1".
Is the anything that could be done to keep from over extending the bearing?
Thanks,
Jon

If you have the adjustable master cylinder you could probably adjust it according to feel and be ok. I used a Howe TOB on my t5 and am using the same one on my TKO. Im using the stock 89 master cylinder and the Centerforce DF clutch i have realeases about 1/2 travel of the pedal. And it is very little pedal effort compared to other cars and trucks ive driven. When my frinds get in to drive they think somethings wrong its so light. But yes to make a long answer short this should work with a stock clutch. And Bump for a GREAT TOB and GREAT DEAL!

Actually, i used a clutch pedal stop on mine with a HOWE Slip on Hydraulic TOB for quite some time. I much prefer the feel of the Hydraulic-Slip on but decided to go back to stock after I popped the piston 2-times, I am sure that it just needed adjustment but I just don't want to deal with it anymore.
I know the mileage exactly because the TOB went in with the new TKO and there is a lube break in period of 500 miles, and I only went 185 miles before I pulled the engine for a rebuild and weather got cold.
