Esse Werks Hydraulic Clutch Throwout Bearing
Esse Werks, in collaboration with Clutchmasters, has developed the FIRST transverse B48 hydraulic throwout bearing, replacing the factory mechanical clutch linkage and does away with the OEM throwout bearing, slave cylinder, clutch fork, pivot ball and hard lines all the way to the firewall.
Comes complete with remote bleed screw, o-rings, adjustment shims and a stainless steel braided clutch line to eliminate inherent flex from the rubber section of the OEM lower clutch line.
Our Clutchmasters hydraulic throwout bearing offers advantages like a smoother pedal feel, consistent pressure application, reduced shock to the drivetrain, less moving parts, and generally lower maintenance due to its self-lubricating fluid-based operation, compared to a traditional mechanical clutch linkage essentially providing a more comfortable and controlled clutch engagement experience.
BENEFITS:
Smoother pedal feel:
The hydraulic system provides a more gradual and consistent pressure application, leading to a softer pedal feel.
Reduced shock to drivetrain:
By eliminating sudden clutch engagement, the hydraulic system minimizes shock to the drivetrain components.
Consistent pressure:
Unlike mechanical linkages that can experience variations in pressure due to wear, a hydraulic system maintains consistent pressure throughout the clutch engagement.
Less moving parts:
Eliminates the need for a separate clutch fork and pivot ball, simplifying the clutch linkage and reducing potential wear points.
Lower maintenance:
Hydraulic systems are generally considered lower maintenance as they are self-lubricating and require less adjustment compared to mechanical linkages.
Esse Werks highly recommends the specific use of this hydraulic throwout bearing in any MINI that uses a higher performance clutch than the stock OEM clutch.
