The Muncie M20. This thing has held up to a lot of abuse. Not just mine. This particular transmission is a mutt. It has the main case of an early tranny but the tailshaft case from a late tranny. Thanks to Eric Ruybald for figuring this out for me.


The following pictures show the hydraulic throw out bearing from Tilton. In order to install one you have to replace the front bearing retainer on the transmission. This serves as the collar for the slave cylinder. Other hydraulic bearings require shimming of the bearing to get the proper spacing between it and the clutch fingers. The Tilton way is to use a threaded collar and just turn unit until you reach the required spacing. Of course you have to do this without the lines being attached. The line at the bottom is the feed line and the top one is the bleed.


The one problem with the hydraulic set-up has always been where to mount the master. I finally gave up on power brakes and had this nice plate made to hold the brake and clutch master cylinder. The clutch master is also a Tilton unit. Thanks to Donny Mongiove for making the plate for me. It's stainless steel and will be around long after the car has rotted away.
