Hydraulic Clutch
 
Has anyone had any leaking issues or any problems for that matter with using a hydraulic clutch set up. I was talking to one of the guys at Classic5speed and they said that people were having problems with leaking. He also said that the disc would get covered in fluid. Basically he meant if the vehicle wasn't driven much. I drive mine a lot during the spring, summer and fall, but not the winter.

99% of all the late model F-Bodys and Vettes in my part of the country are stored for the winter and I've never heard of that being an issue.

Ya know Scott, that's what I thought too and I was really looking forward to not having to deal with the open hole in the firewall. Maybe he's wrong and that's why I posted. Could it be a brand thing for the hydralic throwout bearing?

I have heard that the hydraulic throwouts are very sensitive to any misalignment between the engine and trans, and theat the misalignement can cause them to leak.
