[DeTomaso] Hydraulic Throw-out Bearing

[Mike Drew]

I've been running a McLeod unit for 20 years. It failed in 2010 and McLeod rebuilt it, updated it to the latest design and sent it back to me, all for free!

That said, if I didn't already have one I wouldn't get one. But I I needed one the one that is pre-engineered for the ZF and sold by Dennis Quella as well as direct from McLeod is a no-brainer.
