TECH TALK: Tilton Hydraulic Throw-Out Bearings (contains Video)


The 6000-Series hydraulic release bearings (HRBs) are designed for easy installation into many applications, typically mounted onto the transmission input shaft bearing retainer using the included threaded adjustable steel collar.
Also included are braided lines and fittings.
With 4 bearing options and both specific and universal kits, the 6000-Series HRB is the Tilton race-proven reliability for high-performance street use.

 These hydraulic release bearings have been designed for ease of installation and maximum reliability, at a very competitive price. 6000-Series hydraulic release bearings are designed to mount onto the transmission input shaft bearing retainer, and are compatible with a variety of transmission types:

  • Ford Tremec TKO/500/600
  • Ford T-5
  • Toploader (1 1/16″ x 10 input shaft)
  • Tremec T56/Magnum (Except for Tremec P/N TUET11010)
  • Ford Tremec Magnum (P/N TUET11010)
  • GM Tremec TKO/500/600
  • GM Saginaw
  • GM T-5
  • and more.

FEATURES

  • Billet aluminum body and piston precision machined in-house at Tilton
  • Stainless steel threaded sleeve offers nearly 1.25″ of adjust-ability
  • High-temperature mono-seal design features a quad tensioner to ensure proper seal tension and the highest reliability
  • Constant contact design self adjusts for clutch wear and maintains the same pedal feel throughout the clutch’s life
  • Newly designed swivel fittings have been thoroughly tested to ensure against leakage
  • High-quality flat face bearing with 1.71″ – 3.03″ contact diameter fits most 8.5″ – 11″ bent-finger and lever-type clutches

Using hydraulic technology from Tilton Engineering (Tilton 6000 Series), these new bearings are easy to install (slip over the bearing retainer of the transmission), and are built to last.  The LF Series Internal Hydraulic Release Bearing is designed as a solution where the external slave causes interference or where no external kit has been developed.  The light pedal feel of the LF Series is maintained with the added benefit of no clearance issues.

Compatibility extends to most bell housings.  While the external slave only works with specific bell’s, the internal style allows the use of other bells (ie: original 4-speed bells, big block bells, etc).  In fact, one of the markets for this slave is the Ford 4-speed Toploader.

The adjustable sleeve allows nearly 1.25″ of adjustment to accommodate a wide variety of clutches.
The bearing height is adjustable from 1.77″ to 3.00″.  Piston travel is a full 0.7″

A typical complete solution consists of the LF Series Master Clutch Kit, a steel braided line of appropriate length, and the LF Series Internal Hydraulic Release Bearing.
