URD fix-U hydro bearing conversion kit

Bump. Anyone have updates?

 

I'd agree.

Have an 09 dcsb trdor with the 6mt and all the vsc stuff and I have a separate clutch reservoir off the lh fender just o/b of the brake reservoir contraption( not a standard master brake cylinder)

 

Hey guys,

I just thought it would be fair to give everyone an update. I jumped out of the seen for a while but I'm back in now with a 2015 dcsb TRD offroad (5spd auto).

I put about 60k miles on my fix U hydro bearing with no issues. I might have some pictures of parts of the install if I can find them. I will look a bit later and try to get them uploaded. keep in mind - this is not a mod that you get to go back from. It requires you to cut the factory quill.

As far as the kit goes, it worked really really well. The only thing that I will tell you straight up is DO NOT FOLLOW THE FACTORY TORQUE SPECS ON THE PRESSURE PLATE. It is not enough. I ended up having to pull my trans a second time to inspect, find the issue and re-tighten those bolts. I sucked them down good.

Prior to that, the pressure plate was actually disengaging from the flywheel when the clutch was fully depressed. This caused the whole pressure plate to move away from the flywheel just enough to cause contact on the bell housing (about 1/16 - 1/8 of an inch of movement.) After I pulled it out, retightened it, it was phenomenal. Not a single complaint for those 60k miles.

However, I got poking around on the URD website and they MAY have discontinued that product??? I really hope that is not the case for those of you still stuck with that ridiculous squeak.

Good Luck!
