Hey Chris, I know both of us are doing the Magnum conversion and both using the GM ZR1 hydraulic throwout bearing… so I thought I would pass along the latest info I found out on the plumbing for the bearing. I was not able to get a fitting that plugged into the GM quick disconnect. I bought two different lines and neither one fit. Mcleod said they could make me one but it would take several weeks…

So I ended up pulling out the transmission and throwout bearing out… and I had a local hydraulic tubing vendor cut off the GM quick disconnect fitting (the black plastic piece) and silver solder on a 4 AN fitting. Now I can just use standard AN fittings.

I see you got the new transmission jack... that makes the job a lot easier.
