Tilton Engineering: Hydraulic Release Bearing Conversion Kits (Adapted for +2005 6MT Tacomas)

yeah…it doesn’t seem consistent
On or off road

I feel like the hydraulic softens what my foot is telling the clutch to do
kind of like mom and dad both tell you something different

sounds like the Tilton may be better in that regard

What’s more, I used to get fluid leaking from the bleeder. Guess I’ll ask them if there’s an easy way to fix what maybe shouldn’t have happened. I’m afraid they’re might not be.

that SS line probably goes all the way to the bearing inside the bellhousing.

maybe that has something to do with it. Doesn’t sound ideal to me. Other car bleeders don’t leak when closed.

way I see it, air is thinner than DOT4. So if DOT4 leaks out, then under suction (pedal going back up) it may be possible for the bearing to pull air into the system up from that

old temporary bandaid “fix” attempts I’d throw at it anytime this happened was do another bleed.
It’s def had many more bleeds done than what’s considered normal schedule otherwise.

 

Heck yeah!

 

Didn’t realize it had been over a year since I’ve been running this setup. I’ve taken it from TN to Florida three times and probably have put 20,000 on it over the last year. No issues.

 

Same here, I’ve had Kasbien’s kit installed since September 2023. Zero issues whatsoever. I’ve found the hydro setup take a finer degree clutch actuation/modulation than the OEM setup, which is a huge plus for me. Use HP Tuners to eliminate the rev hang and install a larger clutch pedal set and short shifter- you can drive your tacoma like a sports car without getting sports car tickets
